When using the Open from Photos (in de Welcome pop-up window) or the New from Photos (in the File menu), the most recent photos, instead of the oldest ones, should show in the file picker by default, as when you open Photos.Īgreed, it seems to be a system level issue, rather than a Pixelmator one. A possibility to export an edited photo in other formats than PNG when using the Share - Add to Photos option. A possibility to save an edited photo in other formats than the original one when using the Pixelmator extension in Photos. Fix the metadata bug when importing a photo into Pixelmator by right-clicking a photo in the Photos Library. In summary (for your convenience), what I request is the following: Also, both DNG and HEIC files are being imported as TIFF files, where the HEIC file info correctly shows 300dpi, but the imported DNG file (same photo) erroneously shows 72dpi instead. To be more specific: while the creation date is wrong, the Info pop-up window also shows "Date Time Digit." that is accurate, and "Date Time Origi." that is also wrong. The metadata photo creation date and location are ripped off, and the new creation date set is the date/time of import. Upon further investigation, I believe this is not due to the exporting process where it goes wrong is when importing the file from Photos by right-clicking a photo in the Photos Library. Unfortunately, exporting a file as in method 2 or 3 will save this file without the (correct) metadata. In addition, it would be helpful if the Pixelmator extension would have the option to save changes to a RAW file back to Photos in JPEG format. For RAW files, the 4th option is the best choice for now, but it would be helpful if Pixelmator would open the most recent files first, as requested earlier. Now the metadata are preserved.Ĭonclusion: the Pixelmator extension is fine for editing and saving HEIC files, but not so much for RAW files (at least, if you want to save storage space). After editing, export photo as JPEG and import back into Photos. Open Pixelmator and select New from Photos, and select the (RAW) photo from the Photos library (will unfortunately present oldest files first, so need to scroll down to latest photos every time). Also in this case, metadata like date shot and location are lost. As in 2, but now the edited (RAW) file is being exported as a JPEG file, and imported back into Photos. Not sure why this happens anyway, it's not a good option.ģ. After editing, select the Share option Add to Photos the photo will be saved to Photos as a (large) PNG file, and certain metadata are lost, like date shot and location. Right/control-click on the photo in the Library, and select Pixelmator to edit with. HEIC will be stored in Photos as HEIC, and RAW/DNG as DNG there’s no option to choose another format, so no way to save DNG as JPEG to save storage space. Open a photo, select Edit, and select the Pixelmator extension. There are 4 options to edit a (RAW) photo in Photos with Pixelmator.ġ. I have looked into further, in particular relative to RAW file editing from within the Apple Photos app (I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max with RAW capability).
