The control for levels isn’t disabling levels – it’s whether to use Levels or Curves. Only White Balance can be turned off. Are you saying that the intensity slider doesn’t meet the need to dial back the effect (I understand that it dials back everything).
Favorites are a Photo Library concept, not a File system concept. I plan to add Favorites the filter when using the Photo Library. The analog of Favorites for the file system would be Flagged.
Adding a gesture is possible but it may be hard to make one that does not conflict with others (for example a horizontal movement would conflict with swiping from image to image. Or conflict with rating and flagging etc)
Actually, that’s not what’s happening. There is a bug in Levels where it does not set up the Luminance / EqualRGB button correctly. It’s actually in EqualRGB by default. I’ll make a note about that and figuring out some kind of default.
The Auto Enhance algorithm works differently from the one in Levels/Curves as you have found. It’s possible to extract JUST the Auto Enhance curves effect out, but the idea for Auto Enhance is to apply multiple effects together to produce a good result (such as curves + shadows + vibrancy, etc.). I have not looked into doing that, but I can add it to the list for consideration.
First, ExifTool has different terminology – I don’t know where it comes from. I’m using the same terminology that you will see in Apple’s Preview.
Second, the heart marks a field as a favorite. Then at the top of the list there is another heart button. Click that and you will see the list filtered to just show favorites.
Increased Precision means to show more numbers after the decimal point (the default is just two).
The “four-way control” has the following: Quick Fixes; Presets/LUTs, Sliders, Masking. This is described in the user manual that people kept asking for. You can find the current (incomplete) manual here. I will update it as I go.
Presets and Auto Enhance manipulate other parts of the editing system, including sliders and masking. Yes, everything you do in a preset or auto enhance is represented somewhere else (as is typical for such operations).
Presets save what they need to save. They don’t save unchanged values. Batch operations are the same. However, that is an implementation detail.
On iOS, the standard model is a Select button combined with some other button (Share or Batch in Nitro). On Mac, such things are not necessary. You select items with the mouse + shift / command. Then you pick menu items or right-click to bring up a context menu. Nitro uses the correct user interface paradigm on each platform – you will not find the same controls in the same places.
You can view the program mode – it’s called Exposure Program. That field in EXIF is documented as having the following values (this information is from ExifTool)
0 = Not defined
1 = Manual
2 = Normal program
3 = Aperture priority
4 = Shutter priority
5 = Creative program (biased toward depth of field)
6 = Action program (biased toward fast shutter speed)
7 = Portrait mode (for closeup photos with the background out of focus)
8 = Landscape mode (for landscape photos with the background in focus)I have tested some images shot with Shutter and Aperture priority and the value is reported correctly. You will see “Normal” or “Landscape” sometimes because that’s the official term, not to be confused with Orientation, which might also be Landscape (or Portrait).
There is also something called Exposure Mode, which the app does not currently report, but will in the next update. That has these values: (unfortunately, today the main site for looking at EXIF specifications is down).
Default = none
0 = Auto exposure
1 = Manual exposure
2 = Auto bracket
Other = reservedWhat you see in ExifTool may be different – they are mapping them to different strings – where they get them, I don’t know. For example, I see Program AE in ExifTool, but the value is actually “Normal”
The heart indicates an “exif favorite”. You can use that to reduce the number of items that you see when you hit the EXIF button. That is a different metadata set from the one that appears when you hit Info. That is because a) ExifTool does not run on iOS and b) it is very slow to retrieve data from ExifTool, so I do split the two up.
