Nitpic is the exciting new tool for pro-photographers and hobbyists alike. DSLR owners know the frustration of sorting through thousands of images after a photoshoot. It's boring. It's tedious. It's slow. But Nitpic takes advantage of your device's intuitive interface to do what other professional apps have failed to do so far: make it quick, streamlined, and intuitive. With Nitpic, sorting photos has never been easier! Nitpic links up with the Nitpic Desk companion app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (now available, free on the Mac App Store). Then it loads all of your images into a simple and intuitive interface. Sort and cull your photos by swiping. Zoom in and check tiny details by pinching. Nitpic offers two sort modes: Rating mode (for photographers who like to use the 5 Star rating system): • Tap, hold, and slide right or left to assign a rating between 1 and 5 stars • Tap and slide left from the right side of the screen to undo the previous rating • Pinch to zoom in and out​ Swipe mode (for photographers who like to sort their photos into keeper and reject piles): • Swipe right to sort into Keeper folder • Swipe left to sort into Reject folder • Tap and slide left from the right side of the screen to undo the previous rating • Pinch to zoom in and out All sorting is NON-DESTRUCTIVE. No photos are altered or deleted in the sort process. Once you’re done, you can move your photos into your photo library of choice in a quick and orderly fashion and apply your ratings accordingly. Nitpic is currently compatible with RAW (CR2, NEF, etc) TIFF, JPG, PNG, PSD, and others!
