– Jpegs have any previous edits baked-in and are (lossy) compressed, hence the smaller file size.
– Raw files are exactly that, just raw data and do not contain any edits by design, no matter what you set in your camera. They contain all available sensor data which gives more room for editing like highlihgt/shadow recovery, tone compression etc. but it also means a large file size.Every app (including camera software) renders raw files slightly differently. That’s why the raw and jpeg pairs look different once you put the raw file in editing mode, even if you don’t apply any in-camera edits to the jpeg.
When you edit the jpeg in Nitro, you edit “on top” of camera’s baked-in render and edits which you camera has applied.
When you edit the raw file, you start at the raw level without any previous edits. You basically replace the camera’s “raw developmenet” with your own.Sorry, my mistake, new images dropped in to the folder instantly show up in Nitro. Don’t know why I was on that thought.
Thanks for mentioning the article. Good one! I’ve been using ApolloOne for several years and Nitro from day one.
Just tested on macOS and also got that result. Turning off the raw standard processing has no effect.
It happens even if just a minimum of curves is applied.
macOS 15.6.1 (24G90)
Nitro 2025.09 (138)Just tested again to check where the different experience might come from. Panning indeed works when editing a mask. When not masking, it works differently by using three fingers on the trackpad or by klick-drag the mouse (but not by using the scroll-pad (magic mouse)). Using two fingers on the track pad or scrolling horizontally via mouse moves to the next/previous image.
Fantastic, thanks! Scrolling up to zoom in feels more natural to me too.
Related to zooming I have noticed that panning around by scrolling works fine for up and down. Scrolling left and right (trackpad or mouse) doesen’t pan the image but flicks (is that the correct word?) to the next or previous image. It would be nice if panning in all directions was possible. Imho it’s quite useful for a smooth workflow when working on details.
