KeymasterYes, I know what you mean and am sorry for the frustration. It’s been on the list to address for a while; because of the way the viewer is built, it’s a much more thorny problem than it would appear at first glance.
One thing I can suggest, lacking the actual feature to hold the zoom, is to take advantage of multiple tabs:
1) make a new tab
2) Pick the same album or folder in the second tab
3) Set the selections in each tab and set the zoom as you like
4) Then you can use Cmd-Shift-] and Cmd-Shift-[ to switch tabs and thus show the two images.Nik Bhatt
KeymasterYou can copy and paste adjustments outside of Edit, either by right-clicking on the Viewer image or on a thumbnail. I just noticed a bug where Copy Adjustments doesn’t get added to the contextual menu in the Viewer in all cases, but I’ll fix that.

KeymasterLUT organization : yes this is something I need to add
Fringe control (green and purple) will be in the next release of the app
Edit In External App is already present. Pick an image and go to the Image menu.
Copy/Paste works by copying any adjustment that has the check-mark next to it. So, in lieu of a UI for copying things, you can briefly uncheck the ones you don’t want before copying.
Other things are mostly on the list to do at some point (except vignette shapes – that is not something I have considered).
There are many sharpeners in the app. Clarity is a type of unsharp mask.Nik Bhatt
KeymasterExport of ratings is easy since there is an IPTC field for that. Import from that field would work as well (but the app is not set up to allow synching of ratings – for example, if you change the rating in another app, RAW Power is not set up to check and update its internal rating. Flags don’t have a home in standard metadata (AFAIK). There isn’t a forum for feature requests; people just post in the help forums or email support@gentlemencoders.com.

KeymasterHi,
I don’t have any immediate plans to sort by label but it’s certainly a worthwhile feature to add.
Export of ratings is planned for the next release; there isn’t a standard place to write out flags (if you know of one, please let me know).
I will see about importing ratings as well.Nik Bhatt
KeymasterPhotos can view different libraries just by dragging the library onto the icon (or using the option key).
However, RAW Power can only open the System Photo Library.
The first thing to check is whether the library you are viewing in Photos is actually the System Photo Library.
To do that, go to Preferences in Photos. Click the System Photo Library which will change that setting.
After doing that, quit and reopen RAW Power.Changing the system photo library can affect how iCloud Photos works. I have a video on the YouTube channel which explains this. (YouTube.com/gentlemencoders)

KeymasterThose kind of complex queries are not currently possible in the app. I would like to add better searching / filtering in general in the future, but I don’t have an ETA for that.

KeymasterHi,
Unfortunately, the app does not have a feature to open a tab when picking a specific picture. I’ll put that on the list to do.
In the meantime, you can create multiple tabs of the same folder (press Cmd-T) and then you can have images in different tabs that way. It’s not the same thing, I know, but I thought I would mention it.
Nik Bhatt
KeymasterYes, I’d like to do that. What kind of control over the filter are you looking for? For example, are you just trying to apply a graduated filter to the image, or are you trying to use it as a mask for, say, tint, or sharpening, etc?

KeymasterI have looked at other apps – Lightroom (the new one) also uses the “long side” concept. Lightroom Classic offers six choices, including short side, long side, and width+height. There isn’t anything about their UI that makes anything more clear.
Nik Bhatt
KeymasterI’m not aware of any. I may release more simulations in the future, including the Acros variants, but I don’t have anything ready right now.
Nik Bhatt
KeymasterThat’s definitely a bug – I will look into it.
Nik Bhatt
KeymasterIt’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).
Nik Bhatt
KeymasterYes, 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?
Nik Bhatt
KeymasterSyncing 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.
