I do know of people who use various apps to write GPS into RAW files, so it’s not uncommon. Right now Nitro doesn’t have a feature to add location to an image. If / when I do add that, then where to store it will be an issue – some will want it in XMP (there is a spot for it) or written back to the file.
Thanks for sending this information. I installed the app (though I was aggravated by the requirement to capture location + photo library access, neither of which are actually required for this app).
I see that the RAW images get the tone map slider, which is confusing since Adobe says that the images are “RAW”. I don’t know if that’s just marketing or if they are writing the file in a way that makes Apple’s decoder provide the Tone Map slider. The fact that the slider works, would indicate the former (just marketing), since if there isn’t a tone map, the slider won’t do anything. (As an aside, Adobe also claims that DNGs are RAW which is objectively false. Some DNGs are RAW and some are linearized images. Linearized DNGs are basically fancy TIFFs).
I agree that moving Tone Map to zero is the best way to start with such images.
I have two thoughts on this:
1) if the files are DNG or JPG, then Capture One probably won’t see the XMP files because of the way Nitro names sidecars. You would need to rename them to match whatever they expect. This is not an issue for proprietary RAW (e.g. ARW, ORF, etc.)2) There is no XMP standard for flags (location or values), so Capture One won’t read those either.
I do have plans to provide some analysis tools for metadata in a future release. Exporting exif is an interesting idea (export EXIF). I’ve put it on the list.
I am able to reproduce the problem with brush strokes and lens correction. However, when I apply perspective, the brush mask seems to follow the image correctly. If you only have perspective on an image, do you still see a problem? I have logged the bug with brushing + lens correction.
Versioning is planned for the app at some point without the need to duplicate the image. I don’t have an ETA as I’m currently working on a new Retouch algorithm.
The app does not have that ability, but I have put it on my list of customer requests. Thanks for your suggestion.
Certainly, more shortcuts can be added, but I won’t add them for “everything”. That would mean adding a shortcut to enable the white balance checkbox and a different one for the split toning checkbox, etc. You can add your own shortcuts for anything in a menu using System Settings and I will add shortcuts for more commands as I go. (It may be counter-intuitive, but some shortcuts are easy to add and some are extremely difficult.). I will also slowly add more commands to the menus to make shortcuts possible to add.
Can you email me a screen recording of this to my support email address? I’m having trouble visualizing it. Also note that Finder sorts are not visible to Nitro, so it cannot automatically sort how you sort in the Finder.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll put that on the list to do.
Viewer mode = any time you are looking at larger images (with a filmstrip on the bottom), vs. just viewing the thumbnail grid.
One-up is the view that only shows one large image, vs. N-up or Compare Mode.
The app should be remembering the last selected image and showing that, so it’s hard to say why you are seeing this. It may also depend on what you have set for sorting or filtering.
