Testing completed faster than I expected, so the 3.0.3 trial is now available on the downloads page
Hi. Sorry about the bug. It’s fixed in version 3.0.3 which just went out on the App Store. I’m in the process of getting the 3.0.3 trial finished and posted. Hopefully in a couple of days.
Talking about working on LUT’s, if I am tapping again the same Lut, preset, to disable it, to see the original image, this action will close the folder with that Lut. Will be nice to remain open until I am closing it or I am going to another adjustments.
Yes, I can see that. Instead of tapping on the name, you can also tap on the box next to the word “LUT” that will turn off the adjustment without closing the folder. It’s not as good as what you are asking for, but it’s still better than having the folder close.
Catas:
Since the latest major update of RawPower, with ability to work on files, I am using it more and more, although, still waiting to work directly on folders with images instead of adding them on application.
Do you mean organizing images in folders after you add them, or are you asking to work with folders that are stored on an external disk (“referenced” image, not copied)?
So now I’m trying to share some of my findings. Firstly since the 3.02 update, in “files one up view”, I am not able to see which images are raws and which are jpgs. All I can see is the sign of edited or linked images.
You are right. There is a bug where the grid is not showing the file type. I’ll make sure to fix it for the next release.
Another thing which I don’t like is when double tapping for zoom in and out, in both browsing and editing mode, images are going not so smooth, they are much more stepping.
Yes, I have seen something like this too. It was to fix a bug, but it made some things a little worse.
When working with Lut’s, we have two folders with adjustments when tapping on one adjustment second time that folder are going to be close which is odd.
I don’t quite understand what you mean. Do you want the LUT folder to remain open as you go from image to image?
At the end I would like to have an cancel edit button instead of denying of accepting changes when iOS are asking me. Not to talk that in files I am not asked about.
Some other people have asked about that. I was thinking of putting something in Tools to cancel editing. It’s hard to put it in the toolbar – there is no room on small screens (like an iPhone SE)
Last question about that: how to directly revert to the original?
You can revert to original two ways: One is to tap Reset in Tools or in the Edit menu. Another is to select the image in the grid and pick Revert to Original from the Batch button at the bottom.
Now talking about Halide camera button, can we have option to disable it from settings at least in iPad?
I guess, do you find it gets in your way?
That being said I would like to thank you very much for your great work.
You are welcome!
Right now, there isn’t a one-step way to add a tab of a different kind (File Browser if the current tab is Photos, or vice-versa). I’ll make a note. Once you have a tab open of that type, you can make more tabs directly. Hopefully this isn’t too much of an imposition – the app remembers all the tabs and windows.
It’s definitely possible to add something like that, but please note that you can access the Info tab while adjusting. Just tap Info and you can see all the metadata – this will not take you out of Edit mode.
Yes, I would like to add keyword support, but that’s currently impossible with the Photos library. Apple does not provide 3rd parties with any way to read, modify, or create keywords. I have made a formal request — maybe in the next OS. Don’t really know though.
There is no formal roadmap. I have a very large list of features and fixes that I review when preparing a release. I don’t publish anything because it changes a lot because of a) customer input b) new technologies Apple creates and c) how far behind I am 🙂
My goal is to move from large, infrequent releases to smaller, frequent releases.
In the case of keywords, there is no point even putting it on a roadmap because I can’t write the feature until Apple adds APIs to allow it.
Yes, it is under consideration. I am going to planning feature releases soon, but I don’t have any information to share at this point about content or dates. In the past, I have done very large releases which come out once a year (or longer). Going forward, I want to ship smaller releases that come out more frequently. Files sync is a popular request, but so is brushing and other large features as well.
Hi,
I have not tried the app on Parallels at all, so I have no idea how it might behave. However, I can say that because it’s a VM, the GPU performance will be very poor, and RAW Power relies very heavily on the GPU. At one point, I tried to do something similar with Aperture, and it didn’t work at all (images didn’t load). So, a VM is not a configuration I can support.
I don’t think you can upload files here. I limit what can be done because I get so many robots and spam.
I don’t understand why the files would get converted to TIFF. I just imported some Sony RAWs from an SD Card reader into Photos and I get RAWs. Which OS are you using?
You can send me a tiff over email with WeTransfer or similar at support@gentlemencoders.com.
Hi Bob,
Glad you love the new version.
As you have found, R+J is not handled consistently through the ecosystem. Most apps (like Photos) edit the JPEG. RAW Power chooses to edit the RAW. There isn’t a way to edit the JPEG version right now. I plan to add a control to let people decide (this has always been true, but many people have suddenly started asking this same question). It’s technically possible to split the R+J apart, but it’s complicated to do it correctly because the only real way to do it is to import a new RAW and new JPEG asset and then delete the old one.
Batch Processing follows the same rule – it edits the RAW only. That’s one of the complications of offering an R+J switch. Batch Processing would either need to prompt or use a preference. However, I don’t know if either is a good solution.
Hi Dmitri,
Thank you for the kind words.
I will look at the Darktable presets.
Selective adjustments and grain are on the list for the future. I have been working on both, but I did not finish before the software needed to be released.

Updates usually show up in 24 hours or less, so you should be seeing it already. If not, you might need to restart your computer. The App Store sometimes fails to show updates because a background process is stuck or faulty.
Apple used to release new cameras on a quarterly basis, but now that they send out updates in the background, it’s much more difficult to assess the intervals. I do not think any new cameras would be added to High Sierra. In fact, most new cameras are only being added to Catalina.
