    Thanks! I posted some additional information on the Nitro Mac forum if you are interested.

    Thanks!

    First bis : in case of non supported cameras do you have any possibility to extend the comptatibility with RawBridge ?

    I don’t know yet – I’m sure I can add new cameras, and I think we will get some of the improvements. Still needs investigation, but I’m hopeful.

    Second : any possibilities of fine tuning on your side ? If yes what are the types of control ?

    Most of the tuning controls are still available.

    Third : any thoughts concerning the monochrom raws ?

    No idea at all.

    Last one : is it good ? ( comparing to Dxo’s )

    No idea how it compares to DxO. I do see noticeable improvements in noise reduction with some high ISO Canon RAWs that I have.

    No. That’s not what will happen. Apple has made RAW 9 an “opt-in” feature. That’s because it is much slower than the existing decoder, and because images can change appearance. They know what they are doing!

    I haven’t decided on the details of how RAW 9 will work with Nitro (or RAW Power – I hope both apps will get that feature), but I will not change the decode of existing images without people agreeing to it.

    I suppose it’s possible that other apps would just switch their customers to RAW 9, but I won’t.

    First, RAW 9 only runs on OS 27, so Intel Macs are out of luck.

    Overall, RAW 9 looks great and I will definitely enable it. But, it has higher resource requirements, including memory. That means that some iOS / iPadOS devices may not be good candidates to use RAW 9. Since RAW 9 changes the appearance of images, that complicates matters further, especially when using iCloud or other synching between devices that can run RAW 9, and those that cannot (e.g., Intel Macs). You don’t want to be in a position where you edit an image on one device and it looks different when you open it on another device.

    Like other (proper) Mac apps, you can double click the title bar to zoom the window.

    The app doesn’t have an import module. Since an SD card is just a file system volume, people can use the Finder or Image Capture.

    People have requested it, so it’s on the feature list for the future. Generally, that kind of import feature is less about copying, and more about dealing with metadata or copying them into specific folders, so it’s can be complex to implement.

    Photomator has the same problems that Nitro has – it can open a file, but when it tries to access the folder, it sees no other images. Nitro treats the network share like any other directory – I wrote a test app that I gave to UGreen to show how my code works fine for local storage on iOS/macOS, on the Mac when talking to their NAS, but fails with iOS/NAS.

    Noise reduction is always in the Detail adjustment in all versions, but only for RAW images.

    He wrote earlier that the rating was seen, so the XMP file was readable by his other app.

    That’s certainly odd. The images are stored in the Finder and you add a keyword in Nitro but it’s not saved?
    Is the XMP data you put in this post from the Nitro XMP sidecar file or is it from digikam or something else?

    Please try the following:
    1. Open Nitro
    2. Select a file that doesn’t have an XMP sidecar
    3. Rate and add a keyword
    4. Go to the next image to make sure it’s written out
    5. Open the XMP sidecar in TextEdit or something – is the keyword present?

    I have heard of the fruit module, but if it only fixes the permissions issues, then it’s not going to solve this problem. What is interesting is that Files.app is able to see into the folders, but my app (using standard Apple calls, which *should* be what Files.app uses) doesn’t.

    Thanks for clarifying that. I tried those steps but they did not work.

    I think it’s because the Nitro problem isn’t one of permissions (read write vs. read only). It’s that the NAS is returning an empty list of files, period. Permissions wouldn’t explain that because the files would be visible but not openable.

    Hi John,
    Sorry to hear about this problem. I ran a quick test but was not able to reproduce the problem. This is what I did.
    1. Put a CR2 on a flash drive
    2. Edit that image in Nitro (on the flash drive). I turned it black and white.
    3. Ejected the drive and inserted it into an iPad
    4. Add the drive itself to Nitro.
    5. Set the rating
    6. Entered Edit – image was black and white.

    Based on your description, the only thing I can think of is that the app was not able to read the XMP file (or couldn’t find it), so it made a new one.

    I suggest re-running your test by editing on the Mac, and then going to iOS, but go into Edit first to see if the image’s edits appear. If they do, set the rating or flag. Does that work?

    If you unlock the sidebar, then it stays visible (but covers part of the grid). It’s basically waiting for you to pick a container or click in the grid. Then it will stay hidden until you press the sidebar button. When you press the sidebar button, it will appear again as before (covering part of the grid). When you click on a new container (or in the grid) it will hide itself again.

    You can unlock the sidebar using the toolbar. Then you only bring it up when you need it. It can’t be invisible ALL the time, otherwise you would have no way to choose other folders / albums.
