When you say “ Photos applies the time of import as the image’s capture time” where are you seeing that replaced information? Photos does have Date Created, Date Added and Date Modified.
The first image you are seeing is the camera-generated JPEG. That can have major differences from the decode of the original for two reasons:
1) the camera JPEG has whatever settings you put in the camera, such as Picture Styles, Dynamic Range, and Sharpening, but the RAW does not.
2) The RAW decode is not designed to look like the JPEG anyway – Apple strives for a consistent look across camera models, not matching each camera maker’s JPEG (which is a moving target and also the algorithms in the camera are not documented anyway).The easiest way to see this is to set your camera into Monochrome mode and take an image.
You have two choices: you can have that shift occur when you enter Edit, or when you are still in 1-up, before Edit. There is a preference in the app called Quick Preview. When you set that, the app will defer the decode until Edit.
Unfortunately the app doesn’t know if you have set that (or for that matter if the originals have all been downloaded – you could set that and then it could take hours or days for them to appear). I am uncomfortable with the app having a feature that only works for some people sometimes. Here is another example. You search for exif and save a smart album. That album syncs over iCloud and on your iPad the results are different / incomplete. There may be a solution but it’s fraught with complications.
Nitro does not have a stacking feature of any kind. It’s a popular request, and it’s on the list, but it’s not a near-term thing (there are other higher-priority features that will be done first, like keywords and AI retouch).
It’s possible but it’s quite tricky. Some adjustments change the look of an image even when they are at default values (for example, Black and White and Vignette).
Yes, I can see the value of having the metadata in the grid. Something for the future at some point. What makes it tricky is that the original image is not always present on the device, and the way to access files in the Finder / Files.app is quite different from the Photo Library. Not insurmountable, but there are a number of edge cases.
Nitro does not currently have the ability to search and filter in the way you are describing for the file system. It can filter for flags in the current view which can have subfolders (but is limited in depth at the moment – I would like to remove that limitation). What I am explicitly avoiding is making a parallel to the Photo Library, with a complex database and where features like albums (and smart albums) etc are present on both sides.
I can add it to the list of customer requests I keep, but I can’t promise anything. Each of these systems have separate ways to work with them. My priority is to get iCloud Drive working first.
I’m not sure why it would be blurry either. Are you saying that JPEGs are blurry and also RAWs, or just JPEGs?
In any event, for this kind of thing, it’s better to just email me at support@gentlemencoders.com.
That way you can share images, and we can do a much faster troubleshooting turnaround.The RAW Noise Reduction in Nitro runs in real time. The AI Noise reduction will not run in real time. Unfortunately, I don’t have an ETA on it. Still in the research phase..
The app currently has two preferences for crop. The first lets you decide if the crop always start with the original aspect ratio. That setting is ON by default. If you turn that off, then it will use the last aspect ratio for the next crop. So do a freeform crop and then the next image will start with a freeform crop.
The second setting controls if the crop automatically rotates for the orientation of the image.
Sorry to hear about this bug. Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce it – I made a subfolder of presets and arrowed back and forth but didn’t see any errors. Please email support@gentlemencoders.com and we try to figure out what’s causing it.
Yes, I see that issue with the search field as well. I will look into it. Thanks for reporting the bug.
Thanks for your suggestion. It has not been discussed before. I’ll make a note – that said, it sounds different from having keyboard shortcuts for keywords, since you are moving images into albums, but I understand the idea. We should try to get tags to work for you though – please email support@gentlemencoders.com and I can try to help you.
