Nik BhattKeymasterI’m unclear about what you are trying to do. If you have copied files from one drive to another, then yes, the app has a feature for migrating edits to point to other drive. If you look in the user manual, look for Reconnect Files.
Nik BhattKeymasterHi,
Thanks for the suggestion. The image did not come through, but you can email it to support@gentlemencoders.com.

Nik BhattKeymasterThanks for the suggestions. I have considered Shortcuts but haven’t really thought of anything particular interesting, so if you have specific suggestions, that would be great to know.
Nik BhattKeymasterThanks for answering, Chip. You are correct. Because RAW Power can read the Photo library directly, there is no need to import images into RAW Power from Photos. Just use File > New Photo Library Window. This is also true on iOS.

Nik BhattKeymasterRAW Power benefits mostly from a good GPU and memory. The CPU is always important, but extra cores don’t really benefit the app after the first four or so.
So, the Pro and Max chips would benefit RAW Power due to their superior GPUs.
Nik BhattKeymasterAndy,
I’ll have to think about your suggestion. Looking at Photos for iOS, I don’t see anything like the Option to expand the range. I get the same range whether I hold the option key down or not (and of course that doesn’t work for a device that doesn’t have a keyboard). Keep in mind you can double-tap on a slider to reset the value.
Nik BhattKeymasterYes, I can see the value of that. I’ll put it on the list, but can’t make any promises.
Nik BhattKeymasterAuto Enhance looks at the image and adjusts parameters based on what it thinks is the best way to improve the image. Which sliders it moves varies from image to image. Sometimes the RAW Processing adjustment is modified, sometimes not.
Nik BhattKeymasterNope. Working hard every day.

Nik BhattKeymasterAffinity is incorrectly handling the output from the RAW Power extension. It should be using the image made by RAW Power (which is a JPEG). I don’t know why Affinity can’t just follow the guidelines for extensions. It’s not hard!
If you are using the RAW Power Photos Extension (or any extension, for that matter), the extension must send a JPEG (not a HEIF or TIFF) back to Photos. So, if you then export a TIFF from Photos, you will be getting a TIFF made from a JPEG (this is mentioned in the article cited above). Your best bet is to use the Export button in the RAW Power extension, which will make a TIFF that you can store on your local hard disk.

Nik BhattKeymasterSadly, the Photos referenced file feature is just as poorly implemented as the one in iPhoto. iPhoto also couldn’t handle moving files to a new drive. It’s rather shocking.
One crazy idea – what if you name the new drive the same as the old drive, and copy the files to the exact same locations on the new drive, might that work?
I suggest doing this:
1) Copy the files from old to new
2) Eject the old
3) Rename the new drive = the old driveThose steps are important otherwise, you might get a “-2” or something appended invisibly to the drive name.
Nik BhattKeymasterThat’s not what I would expect either. If you want to send me a couple of images you can.
Email
support@gentlemencoders.comand I can send you an upload link (I don’t want to put the link in the forum, which is public)
Nik BhattKeymasterAuto Enhance rarely modifies the fields in RAW Processing, except when images are overexposed or underexposed. It tends to use things in Tone, Enhance, and Curves / Levels (and white balance).
