What’s new
Version 2026.08 · Updated September 24, 2026
NEW FEATURES: * RAW v9: Nitro now supports Apple's new RAW decoder (requires macOS 27, iOS 27, or iPadOS 27). * You can write captions in both the file system (XMP) and Photo Library. Photo Library captions require OS 27. * You can add keywords to the Photo Library on OS 27. * Support storing and reading ratings in the Photo Library when running OS 27. Because you may have existing ratings in Nitro, Nitro will detect when ratings are out of sync and help you resolve the issue. USABILITY: * Rearranged the Info Panel to improve readability and support editable captions. * Add Show Subfolders to the menu bar on the Mac. * Add "Unrated" to the list of filters that are easy to make (Quick Filter and in the menus). * Add alert when clicking the trash button in the window. If you hold down the option key on the Mac, it will not alert you. * Add preference to hide tool overlays. This does not affect point pickers like HSL Target mode, White Balance and Curves. * Add preference when single tapping on the image. On iOS, the default is to hide all panels. On macOS, the default is to do nothing. * Increase range of the RAW Sharpen and RAW Contrast sliders to improve their usefulness. BUG FIXES: * Work around OS bug when masking RAW images, in which the masked area would be rendered incorrectly when the same adjustment was used in both the mask and in the global sliders. * Fix bugs with color range masks on iPhone - now setting up a mask and picking the color works properly. * Fix Follow Edges for brushing when perspective has been applied. * Add preference to let people decide if ratings are synced to the Photo Library (it used to only be in the rating sync dialog box). * Fix bug with keywords, where the app would sometimes write the keywords to the wrong image. * Fix bug with Single File Editor showing the wrong buttons on the right side. * iOS 27 broke Move to Trash, so the error is detected, and the app will offer to delete the item immediately. * Fix bugs with key repeat and speed it up too. * Fix bug on iPhone when masking - the masking options in landscape screen orientation could not be scrolled so they were not accessible. * Fix bug where edits would not be saved if you had a filter for rating and changed the rating so that the image disappeared from view. * Fix bug where XMP files could be deleted when using Revert to Original, even if the preference to not delete them was set. CAMERA SUPPORT: * GoPro Mission 1
