Can you email me a screen recording of this to my support email address? I’m having trouble visualizing it. Also note that Finder sorts are not visible to Nitro, so it cannot automatically sort how you sort in the Finder.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll put that on the list to do.
Viewer mode = any time you are looking at larger images (with a filmstrip on the bottom), vs. just viewing the thumbnail grid.
One-up is the view that only shows one large image, vs. N-up or Compare Mode.
The app should be remembering the last selected image and showing that, so it’s hard to say why you are seeing this. It may also depend on what you have set for sorting or filtering.
There isn’t a direct way, but there are indirect ways. For example, you can apply all the keywords in Photos to a single image and then export it.
Then you can use a program (e.g., Exiftool or Graphic Converter) to extract the keywords.Thanks Joachim, that’s helpful. I see what you mean now.
Two things:
1) When you reset the Perspective adjustment, the sliders were disabled. That is a bug I need to fix.
2) The controls went away – that is the full screen feature – when you click on the image, the controls hide. Clicking again brings them back. I might make that a preference.I found the problem (thanks for sharing the file). Most camera images have two EXIF date fields: the “original” and the “digitized”. They are usually the same, and the app doesn’t want to show two of the same thing, so it picks one. It picked Digitized. However, the FFF files only have Original and the app did not have code to fall back to that one when digitized was missing. I have made the change, so in the next update the dates will be correct for your files.
I’m looking at a video of Capture One and I see what it is doing, but I’m not sure it’s fundamentally different from the Nitro corrector, with two differences:
1) The amount of correction can be controlled (so you can specify the correction, but then only apply a portion of it)
2) The amount of crop looks to be controllable also.
3) the interface is different – it looks like it places four points on the image and then you use sliders to move the points around.I cannot say whether it’s better than simply placing four points on the image. Perhaps the Nitro UI needs to be less general purpose since you can do basically anything with four points.
The amount of crop is something I am going to provide control over, so it won’t remove as much of the image.
That’s very strange. I have an image shot in 2008 and it has modification dates of 2024. However, it shows in Nitro as 2008. I’ll email you separately on this.
I have looked into auto straighten in particular and have found the algorithms to be shockingly bad. I will see if there are improvements for perspective and straighten.
As far as skew and such, Nitro does have the 4 point perspective corrector, which also addresses skew. You mark the points that should be rectangular and it fixes it. I plan to improve it so that you can zoom it out more reliably.
You will not see the button if you are using the Photo Library because that button is all about adding and changing keywords.

@joachim_jundt: thank you for the compliments and also for spreading the word to other people (and the magazine writer)!
@joachim_jundt: My keyword table is just a text file (tab-delimited), so you can edit that and send it to me.
Okay. A table would have been helpful.
Here is a text table:
File System: view, add, edit, filter, copy/paste. The AI feature is part of “add”
Photo Library: view, filter, smart albums.If you search for Keywords in the menus, you will see the menu items. But the main interface is a top-level item with the Info / Edit / etc.
Also, I did not mention Smart Folders. I said Smart Albums. And like any smart album in Nitro, it’s Nitro-specific (and smart albums in Photos are Photos-specific).
I’m sorry you find the keyword function hard to understand. It’s feature-rich, and I had to add a new item to the sidebar to add all of the functionality. That’s why I spent hours writing documentation and making videos. I guess I could have put in an arrow pointing to the keyword button in the right toolbar.
