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.
Sorry to hear about that issue. Is it possible that you have turned off Location export in the export dialog? There is a metadata popup in the export dialog that controls what metadata is written out.
Yes, that could be done, though I think the “real” solution is to implement stacking. I’ll have to think about. Thanks for the suggestion.
I haven’t committed to JPEG XL because Apple has not the ability to export into that format yet. I rely on macOS / iOS for export because they handle metadata insertion and the rest of my system uses those same services. I was surprised they didn’t add it in Tahoe / iOS 26. Maybe next year.
Setting the dpi value in export only has value in a few situations. Some printers (and printer companies) look at the DPI value when rendering the image. So, I wouldn’t bother setting it unless the printer / print house wants it.
Yes, using file system folders and the Photo Library is a powerful workflow. Quite a few people do that. In fact, Nitro has a specific feature that lets you export originals + ratings + edits between the two systems. So you can edit in a Finder folder and then add the original + all the edits to the Photo Library (or vice-versa) – meaning that you can continue editing non-destructively if you like. Of course, you can also just export a finished image to the Photo Library as well.

No, I don’t see the apps combining. Apps can’t fuse like that – a few parts (that are easily extracted) can be shared, but that’s about it. RawBridge was a large effort and it’s a relatively small part of both apps.
Yes, it’s a good idea to have a more persistent filter (or at least one that is less modal).
When images are added to the file system, the app detects them and updates. No refresh should be needed – what are you seeing and what action are you taking?
Toolbar items cannot be on the left sidebar and “lock sidebar” is too long (especially when localized). I will add tooltips.
There is a roadmap but it’s not comprehensive and it’s not in any order. That’s because some features require research and their timelines are uncertain, and delays with those then affect everything else
LUTs should highlight again. Presets do not. That’s because presets are simply stamping adjustments onto the image. Since you can edit the adjustments afterward, the fact that a preset was applied isn’t 100% accurate. The LUT however, is an uneditable thing, so it is remember (and selected). Are you sure that LUTs are not reselecting (it’s working for me)?
Yes, that’s how the feature works. If you turn on Do Not Hide Sidebar, then choosing a folder or double-clicking an image leaves the sidebar open. However, there is another feature that interacts with it, and it’s somewhat controlled by macOS itself. That is the “Lock” button in the toolbar. If you have the sidebar unlocked then it will hide anyway. So, please check that the sidebar is locked too.
