    Nitro does not modify original images, so it uses sidecars in all cases. However, Adobe never provided a naming strategy for XMP except for proprietary RAWs, so I had to make one up. So, if you are tagging JPEGs, DNGs, TIFFs, etc. the Nitro sidecar is probably not detected by other apps. If you export to a HEIC, then Nitro will write the ratings into the file.

    I plan in the future to let people just use “.xmp” for those sidecars, but that will cause problems if you shoot RAW+JPEG because both R and J will want to write to the same XMP file.

    I just tried an X-T5 and I can see the impact of RAW Contrast. I have to zoom into 100%, but I can see it. It will enhance edges, so look at those parts of the image (in my case, it was a cat’s fur).

    Press Return to enter a keyword.
    They will be added to the file automatically when you export unless you turn off metadata.

    Nitro doesn’t offer a file name sort because the Photo Library does not provide that as a sort order. Nitro *could* sort in whatever way it wants, but I found that offering non-standard sorts causes severe performance issues with larger libraries.

    Yes, this is a bug in the extension – when you zoom in, the mask overlay is not being shown. It’s on the list to fix. Sorry for the bug.

    I’m glad it’s working. But: please, always tell me if you are on a beta OS. That adds an very important variable to the equation. In general, the version of the app and the version of the OS are good things to include.

    Wow. That is quite a mess. Thanks for sharing your experience – terrible though it was.

    Not sure. Might be a permissions issue. I suggest adding the folder that has the images to Nitro first. Then send them to Nitro from PM.

    Yes, but I have been busy with the new Eraser algorithm (replacement for retouch).

    If you are on a Nitro subscription or trial and want to buy the lifetime, do this:

    1. Open Nitro, go to app Settings and pick View Prices.
    2. Purchase the Lifetime (the price you see is the discounted price).
    3. If you have a subscription, go back to app settings and pick Manage Subscription and then cancel your subscription.

    Unfortunately, the App Store does not have the concept of a “sale” (just a price change). As a result, when I change the price, Nitro get a new price, but it doesn’t know what the old price was (and each country has its own price that is specified by Apple). Anyway, I will figure out a way to put better messaging into the pricing screen for Nitro so it’s easier to understand the sale prices. Sorry for the confusing experience.

    The regular price is $99.99 US. The sale price is $49.99 US.
    In Canada, the regular (non RP) price is $129.99. The sale price is $69.99. Apple sets the price outside of the US using exchange rates and aims for “9.99” at the end when possible, that’s why it’s not 64.99. Apple does not update prices frequently due to exchange rates.

    Sorry, I did not understand what you mean by ‘is Fuji’s lossless compress also compress on EXIF?’
    Fujifilm compression’s exif should be basically the same vs. uncompressed RAW.
    are you saying that GPS is not included, but other fields are (like ISO and Aperture)? Or is all exif stripped?

    For reasons that only Apple understands, profiled lens correction is not provided for their cameras. In other words, Apple does not write the lens correction metadata to the RAW files that can be used to correct for distortion and vignetting. That said, lens correction metadata never accounts for keystone, as that is a function of the image / composition, not of the lens itself.
