    The app doesn’t have a healing or cloning tool. It’s something I’m looking into. If you need that function, then I suggest using the one in Photos or perhaps another extension with that ability.

    For best results, I recommend doing the main editing in RAW Power and then heal / clone in the other extension. That way, you have access to the full RAW data for the main editing operation.

    Hi David,

    On iOS, the referenced folder system is intended for external drives rather than cloud-based services. iCloud files that are downloaded already do work, but it’s not the target workflow. The limitations are due to the way sidecars are managed in the app, which are not stored with the images – they are stored on device. That’s why changes do not propagate. The goal was to avoid requiring people to copy images to their devices as opposed to create multi-machine workflows. That is a larger, future effort.

    As far as release notes go, they are available in the app. On iOS, you can find them in the menu on the main screen. On Mac, they are available in the Help menu. Today, I also added them to the support page: https://www.gentlemencoders.com/support/

    I hope that helps.

    Yes, I wrote on the thread earlier today that I think I have a fix for that. This week is WWDC so I’ve been busy with that. I will try to get a beta out with that fix. If any of you want to be on the beta, then email beta@gentlemencoders.com with your AppleID’s email address (that’s what Apple’s TestFlight uses to send out beta builds).

    I am able to reproduce the problem with Auto Enhance with Levels. I’ll have to see what’s going on – probably just a mistake in mapping the parameters. When that happens, the controls end up on top of each other, which can create invalid positions, which might lead to a crash. The fix is a) map the points properly and b) clamp the levels controls so they cannot overlap.

    All fixed now with 3.3.1, though 3.3.2 is out now with some other fixes.

    By the way, it’s much faster to email me than to post here – I have many different things to check and the forums often get skipped. So, please use the forums for discussion and email for bugs: support@gentlemencoders.com

    Hi Andy and Catas,

    Sorry – I didn’t see this thread.
    Andy: Levels generating black images: do you think you could share an image with me with the problem? I haven’t seen this in my own testing. There is a dropbox upload link you can use: https://www.dropbox.com/request/URZ12srbCokrdYn4I0gE

    Catas: I think I found a bug with exporting which causes excessive memory use. I plan to have a fix for that soon. Hopefully that addresses the problem.

    No problem. That’s strange that it just started working, unless perhaps a new OS version was installed between then and now.

    X-H1 images are decoding correctly for me here. Please email me at support@gentlemencoders.com – I will send you a link to upload an image so I can try to reproduce the problem.

    Also, what version and platform are you using (macOS / iOS and the complete version number of the OS)? I’m finding issues in older versions of macOS & iOS. Those problems disappeared when I went to macOS 11.4 and iOS 14.6.

    Hi, sorry about the issue with compressed RAF. There is a bug with compressed X100V images. I have a fix for that and will ship it ASAP.

    Are you using that camera or a different one? If it’s different, which one is it?

    Thanks for reporting it; I’ll look into it after this in-app purchase fire has been put out. For bugs and such, email is best because we can exchange screenshots etc. The email address is support@gentlemencoders.com.

    I’m really sorry you are encountering problems. You should not have to buy the app again.

    There is a bug in the app that we missed with restoring purchases. I’m working on it now as fast as I can.

    in reply to: Sorting by EXIF date #124951

    In the File Browser, the app only sorts by file date. The main reason is performance – reading the EXIF date is expensive for large folders (especially if you turn on the preference to show subfolders). Because the app doesn’t have an import function or a database for all images, it reads that information each time. I’d like to improve that in the future.

    In general, edit parameters are not portable between imaging apps from different companies. Shadows + 50% in RAW Power is different from Shadows + 50% in LR. Even White Balance and Exposure use different algorithms.

    And the RAW decodes are different, so even if exposure was the same algorithm, Apple and Adobe render the unadjusted RAWs differently so you are starting from different points.

    Edits in RAW Power are stored in one of two places. If you use the Photo library, they are stored there and sync over iCloud Photos. If you are using the File browser, then there is no syncing solution; the files are stored in the app’s “sandbox” folder which is buried in your home directory.

    Hi,

    1) On the Mac, you can certainly store the photos in Lightroom and edit them in RAW Power. RAW Power can work as a file browser, so if you can point RAW Power to the directory where you store your files, then it can view and edit them. It stores the adjustment data elsewhere (not with the original).

    2) The app has some ability to work with a portrait photo. There is an adjustment called Depth Effect, which lets you adjust the highlights and shadows of the foreground and background independently. It also lets you adjust the depth mask so you can control what is “foreground” and what is “background”. It does not allow you to change which portrait mode is used.
