Could it be an issue with time zones? Are these pictures taken in a different time zone from the one you are currently in? Are they taken late in the day (or very early in the morning)?
If you are referring to the Color Class that PhotoMechanic uses, I will have to think about how to support that. That would conflict with Finder Tags (you could conceivably have both and showing two different color tags is going to be confusing. “Preferences are the solution to everything” and also the cause of many problems and complexity.
Thank you!
If you don’t mind, please write a review for the iPad / iPhone app on the App Store – Mac reviews do not appear for iOS / iPadOS. New apps struggle if they don’t have ratings and reviews because people are not inclined to try them out.Aperture stored that information into its own database. Nitro does not manage a separate database for this information when you use the Finder (it uses XMP files). For the photo library, Apple does not provide a way to read or write custom metadata (or keywords).
If your volume is formatted with APFS, you can just duplicate the file in the Finder. APFS will not use any additional disk space in that case (unless you directly modify the file, which Nitro does not do). Then you can make different edits. That is more stable than using an alias or soft link.
Hi Gary,
It sounds like you have a good technical understanding of how labels work (stored in extended attributes). The app does indeed use the extended attribute API to read and write tags. That is because that is the only API that works on both Mac and iOS.
However, I am unclear about the problem you are seeing. The app is storing the string for the label and it is reading the color + the label name from the system to provide the UI.
Strings are the only way labels work in the Finder (color is not actually stored as part of the file’s tag – just the tag name). Nitro uses the same names as the Finder. If you add tags to the Finder (or change names), the app will use them (you have to quit and reopen the app for it to read those though).
You can favorite an image at any point. You do not need to be in edit. If you are in the grid (no viewer), press the “.” button. If you are viewing the image, you can click the heart on the left side (with the ratings interface).
I have received some reports of that happening sometimes, but I have not been able to reproduce this myself. If you can help identify what might be the trigger for this happening, I would appreciate it.
If you create a Smart Album, then sorting is allowed. I just looked at the app and the sort interface is enabled for a Smart Album that I made. If I click on the “Smart Albums” folder, then the sort interface is disabled, but that is a designed. So, I do not know why it is not enabled in your case. Perhaps if you quit and restart the app?
Hi Mike,
It’s an interesting idea. I have not looked at Affinity so I don’t know what is involved there. The range of the sliders is basically black to white, so that should be the full range, but perhaps the way it works is not optimal.
No, the app does not have either feature you describe. It’s possible, but the way the UI is built, presets and LUTs are not included in the list of operations for masks. I’ll make a note for the future.
I don’t know. The priority is getting the iOS app out which won’t have those features. I deliberately left them out because they are actually rather complicated to implement.
Clone and a limited spot/wire removal tool are in the new Nitro app. I am researching a more powerful healing feature, but that’s not imminent.
