It’s certainly possible. I did it this way because I found the interface with two boxes to be very confusing. What happens if I enter into only one field, or what happens if I have two images, one portrait and one landscape. It’s possible to play with an app with this interface to try to figure out what it is going to do, but that’s more indicative of a bad design. So, if I were to add something like this, the interface would have to be very clear (and I don’t know what that would be).
Yes, you are correct. There is a spacing issue that resulted in this limitation – to fix it I would need to re layout the whole panel. What kind of mouse are you using?
Syncing is planned. Right now, the best way to do it yourself is to copy the presets to iCloud or use AirDrop. Then you can select the presets on the other device. Not ideal, but import and export of presets and LUTs is supported on both iOS and Mac.
It applies lens correction for some cameras automatically. There is a checkbox to disable lens correction in the RAW processing adjustment.
RAWs automatically have a variety of development parameters applied to them, including boost, which is set to maximum by default. Other settings, like noise reduction and RAW sharpen are calculated and applied by Apple’s decoder (and RAW Power shows the value that Apple’s engine is using).
If you want a bare-bones RAW, then you would want to move the sliders to the left (except Black Point). You can make that a “camera preset,” which is a regular preset with the “camera” checkbox applied.
When you do that, then every time you open an image in Edit for that camera, RAW Power will apply that preset. That preset can have whatever you want in it, including, say, Curves.
Hi,
Congratulations on your Q2! This is a known limitation of Apple’s decoder – it does not respect crop modes. I will probably have to read the data and add my own crop. That’s on the “to do” list for the future.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to make multiple versions of an image with RAW Power. There is no duplicate command in RAW Power because Apple does not provide a way for apps to duplicate an image that fully preserves all user-entered metadata, like keywords.
In Photos, a duplicate is just a reference to the original, so it doesn’t actually copy the file.
Yes, they can be imported that way, as long as Files.app can see the images.
Tap the + button in RAW Power
Then tap on the location on the left of Files to expose the drive.There is a video on the YouTube channel about doing this for SD Cards – the steps are similar.
I’ll have to look into it further. If you arrow to a different photo and then back again, does zoom work? I am wondering if there is some state that needs to be reset.
I do not know of a way in the user interface to determine which app edited an image last. You could conceivably add a keyword to all Aperture edited images (using that smart album approach I mentioned). Then that will appear in the Info panel (it’s possible there is already a keyword added for Aperture-edited images, but I don’t recall).
There are two RAW Power folders. One is stored in your home folder and it is where RAW Power stores editing information when you are not using the photo library. The one in iCloud Drive is not currently used. When you use the photo library, it stores everything there. That way it syncs over iCloud Photos and integrates with Photos properly.
I just found a bug in the Share to RAW Power extension on iOS – it will be fixed in the next update. Share to RAW Power will copy a photo into your library (and place it into a special album for easy access).
RAW Power can only access the System Photo Library (Apple restriction). You set that in Photos preferences. For iCloud to work, you need to turn on iCloud Photos inside the Photos app. So, step one is to get Photos on the Mac to see your iCloud Photos library. Once you have done that, RAW Power should work fine. That why I suggest starting Photos and testing the sync there.
If you haven’t edited any images with Photos (or RAW Power) in that library, then you could make smart albums in photos for all the edited images. Then, drag all of those images to a ‘regular’ album. Now you have a list of all Aperture edited images. If you have done some editing with Photos or RAW Power, then you will have to cull those out from the album.
if i only want to see raw files in my directory, how do i get the filter to ‘stick’? how do i get ‘zoom to fit’ to stick?
Filters always stick by default. If you specify that you just want to see the RAWs, it will remember that. So, do the following:
Click on the filter
Filter by file type = RAW
close the filter.If you then go to a different album or folder and then go back to the first one, the filter will be applied. Filters are stored per container.
i got the ios version, but i see no way to share images with mac version. the docs are very confusing for someone who doesn’t use the mac photos app. i tried what the faq said–on ios raw power i edited an image from my ios (icloud) photo library, but i could not get mac version to see it. i then used the /share’ button to share it to raw power and absolutely nothing happened. how do i edit my iphone photos on mac version and my desktop photos using the iphone version?
As long as your Mac and iOS device are using the same iCloud Photos library, then the sync should work as you described. Edit an image on iOS, and then when you view the same library on the Mac, the edits will be there (once iCloud syncs them). One way to test this is to use Photos. Edit an image with Photos on iOS, and then go to your Mac and see if the edited image is there. If it is, then the synching is working properly.
