The location hasn’t changed. You will find them here: ~/Library/Containers/com.gentlemencoders.RAWPower/Data/Documents
Yes, sidecars are stored next to the originals in Nitro and are XMP format, rather than the proprietary format that RAW Power uses.
The app doesn’t have a separate way of backing up sidecars – the expectation is that a normal home folder backup would preserve the files. The number of backups you would make for the sidecars is the same for these as for any document on your disk – meaning, I don’t recommend treating them differently than any other data on your disk.
It sounds a bit weird. When you enter edit, if the image is color, then that is correct behavior (and matches Preview). If the images are black and white outside of edit, then that also makes sense, if Photos is just using the embedded JPEG. Starting in color and going to BW and then going to color again is weird. That’s harder to explain unless the camera is being inconsistent about what thumbnails it’s writing (there are usually two or three thumbnails in the RAW).
This sounds reversed from the behavior I would expect. If you set the camera to Monochrome, the thumbnail should be monochrome. Then when you open it in Nitro or Photos (or Preview), the image should revert to color. That’s because, in general, Apple does not attempt to apply picture styles / picture controls to raw images.
I suggest this test:
Shoot an image with monochrome
Connect the camera or the card to the Mac, but don’t import into Photos
Instead, copy the image(s) to the desktop.
Look at the thumbnails – they should be monochrome, and if you open them in Preview they should be color.You can zoom the viewer whenever you want to more precisely place the dots. On an iPad, you can just two-finger pinch – there is no special mode. There doesn’t need to be.
1. I am able to reproduce the problem with perspective and masks. But not in every case. What works is: apply guided perspective and then add a mask. Adding a mask first and then perspective (which is a bit unusual IMO) will shift. Also, the vertical / horizontal sliders appear to mess up the mask too. Thanks for reporting the bug.
2. I don’t know about #2 – it could be a situation when the app is simply confused.
3. Rotating can be slow if the window is large. You can use the straighten tool to avoid this problem.
4. Guided Perspective already allows you to zoom in. While I can imagine transparent or thinner lines might help, they may be invisible in certain images. When I have made the lines thinner in the past, people ask for thicker ones. When they are thicker, people want them thinner. /shrugHi Erin,
Crop should definitely not stick like you are describing. Does it happen if you quit and reopen the app? Does it happen if try cropping an image that has no other adjustments on it (make sure it doesn’t have straighten when you run the test)?
Also, you are running an old version of Nitro – the current version is 2026.5.
As Jerry says, there is no “import” in Nitro. So if you drag 30 images, you are telling it you want to open 30 individual editor windows.
If you force quit the app, and reopen it, it should not try to reopen those.
Ed, perhaps you have assigned a “camera preset” in Nitro. Those automatically get applied when you open an image in Edit.
To find out, you can go to the Preset interface, and click the little camera icon at the bottom.
