Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
10.1.0 is a big update: a faster grid, reworked RAW development, safer metadata and plenty of new things for Mac and iPad.
A FASTER GRID
• Your whole folder is in the grid straight away, even with tens of thousands of photos
• RAW-only folders no longer weigh the app down, and iCloud folders scroll without stopping
• Your last folder reopens at launch with its selection, and going back to a folder brings you to the photo you were on
• Prefer the old grid? You'll find Classic grid in Settings
RAW DEVELOPMENT
• A new base rendering for RAW files (except Fuji X-Trans): highlights burn out far less when you push Exposure
• Lowering Highlights recovers bright areas without darkening the rest, and whites no longer turn yellow
• Shadows open up dark areas without lifting midtones and highlights; Contrast no longer crushes shadows to pure black
• The preview stays sharp while you drag a slider, and the image no longer jumps when you let go
DEVELOPING A SERIES
• With photos selected, the editor opens on those only, and the Unedited filter shows what's left
• Paste adjustments from the grid onto all the selected photos: an “As shot” white balance stays each photo's own
• Sync asks which photos to change, and you can undo it
• On iPhone and iPad, gradients are drawn right on the photo
A FASTER, STEADIER EDITOR
• More responsive sliders and Before/After without freezes
SAFER METADATA
• Rating a RAW no longer adds technical text to the caption
• Edit Metadata asks first on many photos, can be stopped and undone in one go; City and keywords are no longer lost if you rate photos meanwhile
• Details shows the Title, Caption, Author and Copyright stored in CR3 files, and exported files carry the same text in IPTC, EXIF and XMP
• If a file is locked or read-only, you're told, and your changes wait instead of being lost
PLATES AND FACES
• If covered areas aren't saved in the file, the photo isn't exported and the app tells you why
• “Show where” marks the areas you need to cover again
• On iPhone, Redact plates and Blur faces are now in the editor too
EXPORT
• Export starts from the format and quality you set in Settings
• Files are exported in the photo's own color space, or Adobe RGB if the photo doesn't say
• Long exports work in batches: if you stop one, what's already done is kept
• Existing files are never overwritten; if the disk fills up, export stops and tells you how many photos made it
• Rename and Move tell you which photos didn't make it and why
MAC
• From the Finder: right-click a folder › Services › Open in Cataimage
• A complete menu bar, with a Go menu, keyboard shortcuts and a Quick Guide
• A click selects, a double-click opens; hover over a thumbnail to rate and label it
• An Information panel beside the grid; Move to Trash now sends photos to the Trash
IPAD
• With a keyboard, the same keys work everywhere: 1-5 for stars, 6-9 (instead of R, Y, G, B), P and O for labels
• With two windows open, commands go to the one you're using, and the layout follows the window size
GUIDE, ACCESSIBILITY AND LANGUAGES
• The guided tour has been redone for iPhone, iPad and Mac; replay it anytime from Settings with Guided tour
• More VoiceOver labels, and larger text now reaches Details and the toolbars
• Letters on color labels with Differentiate Without Color, and an Automatic theme
• Clearer wording throughout, and corrected texts in German, Japanese, Russian and Chinese
