Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions and observations.

1. Changing Enter to keep the data entry field selected – I will look into it
2. Double-clicking the caption – I’ll look into that too
3. Arrows next to the sliders – my initial impression is that the UI would look very noisy and complicated, so I’m not inclined to make that change.

I do not know for sure, but I would expect new camera support would come out around the time of the fall OS releases. They may add the support to the shipping OS and the new one, or just the new one.

Erik – thank you for jumping in. I was going to suggest the same thing.

David – Though the names are the same, the underlying RAW Power H&S algorithm is different than the one in Aperture’s H&S. Most of the filters in Aperture are private to that application, so there are not available for me to use.

Deepen and Lighten are different from either. One of the key differences between those and either of the H&S filters is that Deepen and Lighten maintain contrast (among other benefits) which keeps images from becoming washed out.

Hi,

I’m sorry the app is crashing on you so much. iOS is a challenging platform to write for – if an app uses the tiniest amount more memory than the system can support, the app is instantly terminated by the OS. I have made significant improvements to Auto Enhance for the next release (3.1). It uses much less memory and is much faster as well. That should help a lot with the first crash.

As far as the other one, it’s hard to tell right now. If you are interested in beta testing the 3.1 release, please email support@gentlemencoders.com and I can put you on the list. Maybe we can figure out the second one too.

RAW Power will be native on the ARM Macs. I have one of Apple’s DTK units, so I have been able to build and test RAW Power on an ARM-based Mac (it required no changes).

[Nik Bhatt]

Two places. One is in the menu in the upper left corner (when you are in Edit)
The second is in the Tools adjustment. It’s labeled Reset.
You can also revert to original in the grid. To do that, tap Select and then tap the images you want to revert. Then tap the Batch button.

[Nik Bhatt]

Yes, definitely. You can use Revert to Original (sometimes called Reset). Are you on iOS or Mac?

[Nik Bhatt]

Yes, I have received that suggestion before. It’s on the list for a future release.

Hi and welcome!

If you are asking why the RAW Processing adjustment is not affected by Auto Enhance, that is normal behavior. Auto Enhance examines the image for many characteristics, one of which is over exposure. When it detects that the image is overexposed (has many pixels that are greater than 1.0), then it uses features of the RAW Processing adjustment to correct the overexposure. However, for well exposed (or underexposed) images, it tends not to do anything with the RAW Processing adjustment. That said, it could be smarter about underexposure, and could move the black point slider – I’ll make a note of that.

For performance reasons, the app uses file creation date, rather than EXIF date for sorting. Usually those are the same, but the creation date sometimes gets reset. If that happened during the copy, then that would explain things. I’ll make a note to add alphabetical sorting to an upcoming release which will help in these cases.

RAW Power does not have a DNG export feature. It is on the list for a future release.

Thanks for letting me know how you would like to use the app through iCloud (but not with iCloud Photos).

[Nik Bhatt]

That’s interesting – I have not tried that before; I’ll have to keep that one in my pocket for another day. I hope it continues to help.

Hi,

I am planning to add the ability to export adjustments information from the various apps so that you can sync changes as you suggested. It’s a bunch of work, so it won’t be happening very soon, but it’s a priority.

Please note that RAW Power can work with the Photos library directly (on Catalina), so you don’t need to use the Extension and the limitations that Apple puts on them.

It’s possible to store the adjustment information into DNG and read it back into RAW Power. However, other apps would not be able read or understand the data because the adjustments themselves are RAW Power-only (I can store data that they could read, but they would interpret it incorrectly). I’ll make a note to add that to the feature list.

[Nik Bhatt]

I’m sorry that you are encountering issues with the current version on your iMac. RAW Power 3 does push the machine more than 2.0 did, especially the GPU. The amount of RAM and hard disk space should not be a factor.

Which GPU do you have? I may be able to suggest some ways to configure the app to reduce the load on the computer.

[Nik Bhatt]

Yes, you can click on the double-headed arrow between the two Custom text fields. That switches the direction of the crop for built-in crops and custom ones.
