Blacks in Nitro manipulate the Black Point of the image, so it will shift values off of zero. It is a RAW only control.
Shadows and Highlights move those parts of the image with “some smarts” – however, I am looking into adjusting how those work to be more specific to those parts of the tonal range.
Each app has its own algorithms, and they are not published or documented, so each one will have its own feel.
I have made some videos about when to use Blacks (mostly when you have very dark data you want to recover and exposure or shadows doesn’t do what you want).And if you turn off tabs in settings, make sure to close all the tabs, quit the app and then reopen it. Otherwise, it might restore the tabs.
It should not open tabs if you a) clear the preference in Nitro settings AND b) close all the windows before reopening the app. That’s puzzling.
No, it does not. It is on the list to research something like Aperture’s Midtone Contrast) but I do not have an ETA on it.
The tabbed window setting works for future windows, so I suggest these steps:
1) set the preference
2) close the windows / tabs you have
3) open Nitro
4) open the windows you wantI am able to reproduce this problem now. It appears to be due to having tabs instead of separate windows and is clearly a macOS bug. I will try to figure out a way to work around this issue. In the intervening time, if you are running into this issue, the simplest way to avoid is to turn off the Tabbed Window preference in Nitro Settings.
If you look at the line between the sidebar and below the toolbar, this is what it should look like:
However, when the bug triggers, the same area is missing the line because it has moved down.
This is not a line that my app draws – this is the responsibility of macOS. Anyway, I will look for a way to avoid it.
OK. Do you have any idea of what steps are required to cause the blue outline around the large image (the “viewer”)? There was a bug in the past with that, but I fixed it. Sounds like there is another case, but I have not seen it.
Sounds like a bug with Levels – I’ve made a note. I have not seen an issue with the handles working in reverse – so if you can email me at support@gentlemencoders.com, we can work through it.
Alias support is on the list for consideration, yes. Aliases have various “gotchas” which have to be worked through one by one.
Sorry to hear about this issue. What blue line are you referring to? Is it around the viewer? If you click on a thumbnail, are you able to advance to the next image?
It sounds like your sidebar is unlocked. Check the toolbar to see the state of the sidebar. If it’s unlocked, then it covers the thumbnails until you click on a folder / album. Then it should hide.
I believe the black line is a macOS bug, but I have not been able to reproduce it to confirm that. If you look at your toolbar, is it also shifted to the right, leaving a gap at the upper left? That would be an OS bug, but I need to figure out a way to work around it.
I have seen that line from another customer, who sent some instructions for reproducing it, but unfortunately the steps do not reproduce for me. If you end up determining a good way to reproduce it, please let me know (via email is fine).

I cannot see the images, but if it’s a black line near the top of the window, then yes, it’s a bug (and a weird one). It’s not new to that version (a customer reported it on 2025.1). I am having trouble reproducing it. It seems to be related to having tabs and also to the toolbar disconnecting from the left sidebar. If you have steps that always make it happen, please share them, so I can reproduce and fix the bug.
