Looking forward to iPadOS version..👌🙏👍

I released it today. The website is at nitrophoto.app/ios or search on the App Store for "nitro photo"

OMG, I've been waiting for years for you guys to make a Lightroom alternative that used the power of RAW Power!! Looks like my Lightroom days are finally limited!!

[@skeelo221]

Looking forward to trying Nitro, Nik! Does your "Auto Enhance" function use the same "engine" as the native Apple Photos app, or is it your own recipe that determines the Auto Enhance adjustments? Additionally, are the "RAW Tuning" adjustments the same as found in RAW Power or have those changed?

[@GentlemenCoders]

Auto Enhance is my own algorithm, similar to the one in RAW Power, but it has the ability to be "dialed up or down" using an intensity slider. The RAW controls in Nitro are the same as in RAW Power, but I moved them around to be more in line with workflow.

[@dominiclester3232]

Nice into, it looks great! 👏👏

[@dominiclester3232]

I’ve happily downloaded Nitro and experimented with three of my Raw images (Mac os) and it all seems pretty intuitive, bravo! One small niggle: I was very impressed with the negative Black point adjustment in your “Raw Power 3 shadows” video and I just can’t find it in Nitro please?

[@GentlemenCoders]

Black Point in Nitro is called "Blacks". It has a different range (it's zero based unlike the one in RAW Power, but it basically works the same).

[@Lysander-Spooner]

I love RAW Power but why would I choose Nitro over Photomator or Pixelmator Pro? What features of Nitro differentiate it from those apps?

[@GentlemenCoders]

More cameras, edge aware brushing, ratings, flags, smart albums that work in the Photo Library, exif tool, side by side metadata, synchronized n-up, compare mode, etc.

[@Johnthetripper]

Can you duplicate and invert a mask?

[@GentlemenCoders]

No. It's on the list to add in the near future.

[@johnscherrer8323]

How do we set white and black point

[@GentlemenCoders]

There is a slider called Blacks in the Tone Adjustment. There is a Whites slider too, but that is not strictly the white point. There is also Curves and Levels, where you can set the black and white points.
