Best Cross-Platform Photo Editor

If you are an avid photographer who likes to edit your images on an iPhone, iPhone, iPad, Mac, or a combination of these devices, I highly recommend Nitro! It is a powerful photo editor that offers advanced capabilities comparable to Lightroom, Darkroom and Photomator, but Nitro is significantly more user-friendly.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for

I’m a photographer that’s been eager to ditch Adobe products from my workflow as much as possible. Nitro Photo has been HUGE in helping me to do this. The software is great, the integration with Photos is awesome, the development roadmap has me hype. Great stuff here, and it’s clearly a labor of love.

Comprehensive photo editor for Apple users

I came across Nitro a year ago when looking for an editor designed specifically for Mac to replace DXO Photolab. Photolab is also excellent but has gradually become too demanding / slow for my ageing M1 machine. Nitro seems less demanding on the system which is a big plus for me.

In my experience, Nitro has a comprehensive set of editing tools for working on RAW files. In certain respects (eg local curves adjustments) it goes even deeper than Photolab and I can’t think of anything significant that is missing.

There were two major issues for me 12 months ago - namely the repair and masking tools which were both below par. However, both of these have now had major overhauls to bring them up to scratch. And that’s one of the great things about Nitro - if you buy a relatively cheap lifetime licence then the product keeps improving and expanding at zero extra cost.

There are too many positives to mention them all but
support for cameras / lenses that Apple has not yet adopted benefitted me when I bought some new equipment; and I really like the fact that the developer is highly engaged in supporting customers. All I can say is well done and keep up the good work!

XMPファイルが消えることがある

XMPファイルを使っていないのであれば、良いアプリケーションだと思う。バグは多いけど。

XMPファイルを使っている人は気をつけた方が良いかも。Nitroを使っているとXMPファイル自体が消えてしまうことを何度も経験している。XMPを使うのであれば、このアプリケーションは信用ならないのが正直なところ。

Printing

The one drawback to this app is there is no print function. Tried sending to Epson Print Layout, just got error. Most photo apps have a print function or the ability to send to a print app.

Insanely Great!

This is the app I've been waiting for ever since Aperture was discontinued. The RAW tools are insanely great (I compared them with Mac apps: Capture One, Luminar Neo (Luminar's RAW editing sucks), Photos, RAW Power and Darkroom). The highlight recovery is amazing: I had a blown out photo caused by using too much power with a manual flash; it rescued it in a way that the other apps couldn't quite match. The highlight roll off is excellent; can't tell that it was an (apparently) irretrievably overexposed photo. I LOVE that it syncs the edits across my devices. Finally, I can edit on iPad and then continue editing on Mac. Photos app syncs of course, but its RAW editing tools are not up to the standard of Nitro. I just bought this, but am really excited by its capabilities. Oh, and the Ul is lovely; clean, straightforward and highly functional. So glad that it offers a one-time purchase option; I generally don't use subscription apps.

An up and coming star

A younger relative to RAW Power, Nitro has the benefit of the same dedicated developer as well as attractive pricing and digital asset management features to boot. The developer (Nik Bhatt) has a passion for his work which shows in the update/addition cadence as well as his timely response to my questions/suggestions. Nitro has a way to go but it’s on the right track.

Una herramienta seria para edición profesional

La app recibe actualizaciones constantemente con funciones y mejoras que cada vez la ubican un peldaño mas arriba junto a los gigantes de la industria. El desarrollador extremadamente atento me ha solucionado todas las dudas y ha implementado las funcionalidades propuestas. Ademas, la implementación esta realizada con unos estándares de calidad altísimos!
Finalmente recalcar que si lo que quieres es editar con ipad y estas acostumbrado a la interfaz de los editores de ordenador, Nitro es la mejor opcion, con diferencia, por delante de toda la competencia. Y cuenta con borrador inteligente que resuelve de una manera extraordinariamente buena la tareas que he puesto en practica. Sin dudarlo, un 10.

An excellent photo editor

I’ve used Nitro for several months now as my main editor. Nitro has all the basic functions you need for effective editing, with some unique tools like Recover, which reaches deep into the Mac OS RAW engine to recover seemingly lost highlights.
Nitro has very few weakness in terms of basic functions. The Shadows slider pulls up the lower midtowns a little too much for my taste, but you can circumvent this using the tone curve. I understand from the developer, who is very responsive to feedback, that this is being addressed.
The user interface is a joy to use, whether you are using Mac OS or iOS via an iPhone or iPad. The iOS version is bundled at no extra cost, which is great.
The development roadmap for Nitro has some excellent planned features.
It is already highly useable, and the initial RAW file rendering is better than Photomator in my opinion.
Highly recommended for enthusiast photographers who wish, for example, to expand their editing options beyond apps such as the Apple Photos editor.

Remarkable !

Nitro by Gentlemen Coders has quickly become one of my favorite productivity apps on both iPad and Mac. The interface is minimal without feeling bare, and everything is exactly where you expect it to be, so you can focus on images instead of learning about the settings. I especially like how seamlessly it syncs across devices — I can start editing via the Apple Photos App (or stand-alone folders) on my Mac and continue on my iPad.

Updates and trial

Please consider to refresh the trial period after major updates (like the last one). Also it would be nice to add italian language.
The roadmap seems to be very interesting!

Internet connection required?

After the latest update I’m now getting an error when not connected to the internet and the app will not open. I hope this is a bug because if it’s by design I will delete this app immediately.

Excellent Lightroom Alternative

This app does everything I need all in one place, all the editing tools are intuitive and straightforward, the same with the cataloguing tools.
Highly recommended!

增加导出为DNG格式

Somehow fixes all the annoying oversights in other editors

Lightroom aside, I’ve struggled to use my iPad with any semblance of an organized workflow. Photomator can flag and rate photos, but not filter by more than a single category. Darkroom might be able to do more, but it also corrupts my photos on import!! Nitro seems to take these small frustrations and handles them with ease. It also does lens corrections, which Photomator doesn’t, and gives me the freedom to easily add my own lens correction, so I can get distortion free images of my Sony lenses adapted to my Nikon body. That’s something I can’t even do on desktop with photo lab (and not without difficulty in darktable).

没什么特别的。

我的评价是不如darktable。

App is Well Worth The Money!!

I have emailed the developer a few times, and he is very responsive and helpful. The product is very good, and using the “Finder” system let me move all my photos from Lightroom Classic and keep the same organization I set up in 2008.

Excellent photo software

I started digital photography with Aperture and Silver Efex Pro for my black and white work. I have been trying to find a similar combination since and I have found it with Nitro. I can work on the Raw file in Photos using the Nitro extension and then export it as a 16-bit Tiff to the Nik Collection using the export action feature. Nitro is an easy to use program but with abundant features available.

Just keeps getting better

I have been using this app since it came out. I use it on my iMac, Macbook Air, iPad and iPhone both with files in folders and in the Photos library. If you have a mobile photography life this an app that you should consider. It extends the Raw support beyond that offered by Apple and leverages all the tools offered by Apple that Apple itself hides. It has some unique tools as well - the extended curve feature is fantastic for getting blown highlights back into range. The masking is simple but effective. The best thing is that it is under active development with new features being added regularly and Nik is very responsive when dealing with problems. It is simply the best value app for cross-device image development on Apple devices. Strongly recommended.
