I have been very happy with my Raw Power program from Gentlemen Coders. I am looking forward to using Nitro. This helps me to move towards an "Adobe free workflow!" Thanks guys!
Nitro is the perfect for an 8/16GB Mac:
1. Open the app
Photoshop: 2,02GB
Nitro: 0,10GB
2. Open a 24mpx photo (no edits or zoom)
Adobe Camera RAW: 4,08GB
Nitro: 0,14GB
3. Edit a 24mpx photo (sliders editing and 100% zoom)
Camera RAW: 4,90GB
Nitro: 0,26 GB
4. Edit 400 24mpx photos (edited 1 and paste the setting in the rest)
Camera RAW: 10,34GB
Nitro: 4,61GB*
The use of RAM in Nitro is 100% variable. The peak of the last test was 4,61GB, but during the test drops to 2GB and when it's done drops even more. It does not need all the ram all the time. That's a huge advantage!
*The only "drawback" is that it took 4 minutes because Nitro saves the 400 xmps at the moment, so when it's done you can close the app without ask you to save, preventing a crash from losing all your edits
I did the test on my Macbook Air M2 8GB Sonoma 14.5, with a 7 days trial of Nitro 2024.6 (33) and original Adobe Photoshop 2024 25.4 with Adobe Camera RAW 16.1.1.1733
Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
I'm glad you are having a good experience with the app!
Thank you so much for easing my fear of leaving Aperture - after seeing the UI and features of Nitro I think I'm finally ready to move on!
I tried Photomator now:
1. Open the app
Photomator: 0,20GB
Nitro: 0,10GB
2. Import 400 24mpx photos but edit just 1 photo
Photomator: 2,10GB (peak, then 1,20GB)
Nitro: 0,25GB
I close and open Photomator, with the 400 pics now imported in the last sesion, and I edit 1 with sliders, and it peaks 1,95GB, then 1,19GB... I did the same with Nitro and is was 0,19GB this time.
I didn't have any crashes with Nitro or Photomator, both works just fine. I don't like that in Photomator you need to accept an anual subscription in order to get the 7 days trial, Nitro does not do that, when the trial ends it will not charge you anything. I think that's the way it should be.
Also Photomator does not save any xmp while i'm editing. So I can edit 100 photos and if the app crashes, the light when out or something... I lost everything. Nitro is always savings xmps. And if I don't like the edit I did, just delete the xmp file and that's it.
I'm going to buy Nitro 💖
As a consumer, I don't like trials that force me to subscribe, so I made sure Nitro was completely free to try without a subscription.
Wow! I love raw power and this looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic work dudes
Great app! Do you have any plans to add film noise? It would be great to have this feature, thank you 🙌
Yes, I do have plans for this. I will probably start with a simple noise generator, rather than a full grain simulator.
@@GentlemenCoders Thank you for the quick response! A simple noise generator sounds like a great start. Looking forward to seeing this feature implemented. Keep up the great work!
Hi coders team,
Is Nitro now a replacement to Raw Power for Apple Silicon Mac’s and the latest MacOS?
I use your mobile app often, and nice to see an update for the Mac.
Nitro does not replace RAW Power. It is a next generation app. RAW Power will continue to be sold and maintained. It is less expensive and runs on older OS versions.
This is looking good. If you use Photos, so that rating/flagged albums show up, does it sync the photos via iCloud always? Even if they're in their own folders. Or does it just sync the 'metadata'? If it syncs the actual photos too, then that could be a large amount of storage space on iCloud.
The ratings and flagging albums are regular Photos albums, so they are synced via iCloud if you use iCloud Photo Library. Albums do not store copies of images, so they are not expensive to store in the cloud.
Am I right thinking there are no camera profiles? So I can't set my RAW files to 'Camera faithful' etc. like Lr? If not will that be coming? I want to love this software but there are a few things missing just now. Lens profiles too. I also find the shadows slider a bit strong as it seems to affect nearly all my tones and not just shadows? Probably me. Hoping to be able to jump the Adobe ship soon but not quite yet.. I will keep an eye on Nitro. 🙂
Camera Profiles aren't supported. They are not documented by camera companies, so I would have to reverse engineer each one. Lens Profiles don't exist, but for most cameras, Apple provides automatic lens correction. For others, there is a lens adjustment that learns from you to build a profile. If you don't like the shadows slider, you might try Levels or Curves.
@@GentlemenCoders thanks. I guess Lightroom uses Adobe camera raw files for the profiles? Not sure. Good point about curves! D’oh! Just didn’t think about that which is daft considering I’m a photoshop pro. I will have another look with my brain switched on this time. Many thanks!
So if I want to use this app in finder only mode like I do with Light Room, I would just copy the SD Card content into a folder on the MacOS file system, and then use Nitro to browse through them to do picks and ratings? There's no import required? I only really want final photos in the Photos App for sharing purposes and not all the raws.
Yes, that's right. There is no import step. In fact, you can even leave the images on the SD card if you want, though that will be a lot slower because of the speed of SD cards / readers.
The ratings and edits are stored in XMP sidecars next to the originals, wherever you choose to store those originals.
This looks great, will the ipad version be an additional purchase?
The iPad and iPhone versions are included with any purchase of Nitro on Mac (and vice-versa).
Great! What about iPad OS?
It's nearly finished. I want to get some beta testing first.
I love raw power app in my ipad
Hi! This app will be available for iPad? Thanks!
Yes. I hope to ship it sometime soon. If you buy it for Mac, you get the iOS / iPad version for free (and vice-versa).
@@GentlemenCoders Thank you! I have only an iPad Pro, excited to try! 👋🙌
Will Nitro in file mode point to files on a NAS?
Yes, and the use of XMP sidecars makes that a good workflow. I have not done much tuning for file servers, so I can't speak for performance in that case.
