Do you think it’s the number of files that are being sent? If you send, say 20 files does it always work?
Hi, I’m glad you like the app.
I don’t plan to have layers in the photoshop sense of the term. However, I do plan to create a selective adjustment feature (e.g., brushing) in the future.
In Batch, pick Export. Then in the Export interface, there is a “Format” pop up. Pick Original. You can also do the same in Edit, but one image at a time.
Culling should be pretty straightforward. I suggest using flag or reject for images that you don’t want any more. Both can be done with gestures on the image (swipe up or down). That information will sync over iCloud Photos. If you are using Files, then you can’t sync the information.
There is no feature in the app to convert an image into a DNG. If you just want to export the original, then use the Export feature and pick Original from the first popup. You can choose Photos as the destination.
The Finder isn’t rendering those thumbnails. Applications can provide a custom thumbnail for a document, and some do. If there is no custom thumbnail, the Finder will then attempt to make its own (that happens sometimes for images like TIFFs that usually don’t have an embedded thumbnail). If that can’t be done, the Finder draws a generic icon. For example, I have several EPS files that have just a generic icon. If I try to open them in Preview, it sits for a very long time attempting to render them for display. Same with SVG. Some apps support them (and set custom icons), but the OS in general does not.
As far as whether the app should support them, I guess it depends on what you mean by “support” – are you asking about being able to edit them? That’s not something I would create – it would need an entire vector drawing system. Or perhaps, just display and rating / flag / filtering? Then, that is more possible, but would be a considerable effort. PDF is possible, since the OS has support for that, but that also leads to a question of multiple pages. Are you asking for the ability to view multiple pages, annotate and stuff like that (Preview can do that, currently)
The app supports image file formats, not vector file formats. It also doesn’t support document formats from other apps (e.g, Pixelmator files and such). It is that way because RAW Power uses Apple’s image reading libraries and in general, their libraries do not support those formats. Sorry.
Hi, the way custom size works, it always respects the aspect ratio – that’s why there aren’t two boxes. For example, if you have an image that is 4000 x 3000, and you export it to 1000, then it will make make an image that is 1000 x 750, which is the same aspect ratio. If the image is 3000 x 4000, and you export to 1000, then you will get 750 x 1000. Are you getting a different result?
I’ll make a note of your request for rotation outside of edit. Right now, RAW Power doesn’t sync changes in the Files app. Sorry.
Sorry for the delay – I just saw your post.
There isn’t a list of keyboard shortcuts – most of the shortcuts are in the menus. There are a few exceptions, like M to show the original. There isn’t a shortcut for rotating, sorry.
The app does not support multiple access as you asked (two computers using a single drive or a network) except for the Photo library over iCloud.
As far as Windows goes, no. I don’t plan to create a Windows or Android version. The app strongly leverages (and is dependent) on Apple’s technologies, including its RAW engine.
It’s definitely possible to access the images in the Photos library in that manner. For example it’s possible to open the photo library package in the Finder and drag the “originals” directory to RAW Power, which would just show you the originals instead of all the thumbnails and whatnot. However, that’s not the intent of the “Photo Library” feature. The Photo Library feature gives you access to synchronized ratings, non-destructive edits that sync over iCloud, integration with the RAW Power Photos extension, and the ability to manipulate the photos library as well.
I should be clear that working with the Photo library manner by accessing internal directories is an unsupported configuration, because Apple does not support people messing around inside the Photo library. You have to be extremely careful if you choose to use the app in this manner. Definitely do not delete any originals, for example (or use Move to Trash). I do not know what else might not work.
Hi,
Photo Library access is only supported with Catalina (macOS 10.15) or later. That’s because Catalina is the first OS that allows 3rd party apps to read/write the Photo library.
I’m puzzled that you got as far as you did with the Photo library. There should be blocks in the app for Photo Library on Mojave (I just checked my Mojave install and the New Photo Library window is disabled). So, there must be a bug in the app that is letting that through – so, sorry for that.
The Photo extension, however, works fine on Mojave because that was added in a much earlier release of MacOS (Sierra or maybe El Capitan – I don’t recall).
Right now there isn’t a way to do that. The Photo Library treats R+J as a single “image” and the RAW Power grid tries to match the look of Photos. It’s technically possible for the app to show both of them separately, but there are some complications that would need to be worked out first.
Hi, I got the PNGs you sent me. There appears to be a lot more detail in the Affinity decode (or more aggressive noise reduction in Apple’s). I don’t know what would be causing that with Apple’s decode, but I’m glad that converting to DNG helps. If you want to send the original over email, I can see if there is a way to get a better result.
