Hi,
You are correct. There is no such feature on the Mac, mostly because I felt it was straightforward to import in Photos from the desktop after an export operation. You are right that it would save a few steps if there was direct Photos import with a album chooser, etc. as in the iOS version. It’s on the list for a future release, but it will be after 3.1.
Please note that you can import into an existing album in Photos by dragging images into the Photos window (and into the album you want).

Hi Uwe,
It may be related to the size of the embedded JPEG preview in the RAW file. Can you email me a sample file? (support@gentlemencoders.com). Thanks.
I looked into this some more. I modified the code so that the Enter key also selects the text so that you can type over it without having to do anything with your mouse. That will be 3.1.
I should mention that the shipping app has a behavior that is probably useful to you. You can use the up and down arrow keys to manipulate the value. For example, you type 1.0 for exposure and hit Enter. You can then use the up and down arrows to bump the number some (and option-arrow and shift-arrow will manipulate the values by smaller or larger amounts).
Thanks for the suggestion about clicking on the end points to get it to move a fixed distance. I’ll have to think about it (it’s certainly useful, but it violates how sliders are supposed to work).
Hi Andy,
I’m glad the re-index helped you. I have not heard about multiple revert boxes appearing – that’s a first…
Yes, I think running smaller batches will probably help, especially on iOS.

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).
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.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.
