cristi_baluta··on Show HN: Imagin Raw – A 9MB Open-Source Alternative to Adobe Bridge for Mac
They look different, I display the jpeg preview backed into the raw, Bridge i believe decodes the raw and applies a default processing, they are more contrasty.

The only thing that i know that my ceo did was to sell his company, that went to shit after that

I logged an issue to look further into this, but being a proprietary format i don't think it will be possible unless they embed a preview

Can you confirm that Imagin Raw does not display the previews with film simulations applied? There is only one embedded jpeg as far as i know, and i display that. If you toggle the zoom you can see a decoded version of the raw with nothing applied which looks totally different. I do not have a Fuji to do proper tests.

That's some serious commitment there, i don't want to be responsible for people's files and i don't want to lock them into my software either. It seems to me highly inefficient to upload raws to a server then browse and edit online

Do you mean to show the jpeg when you have a raw+jpeg pair? I'm planning to add some options here in the next version, you'll be able to chose if to see both at once or only one and toggle between them

This is a type of software that can be feature complete quickly, so besides maintenance i don't see how long can you innovate. The nice thing though is that if the app disappears you go back to Bridge and you continue where you left off, you don't lose your ratings and labels and stuff. Can you tell me about Affinity, what kind of integration? You can currently open a photo to edit in Affinity

Yes, but comparing to Finder you could actually have a useful preview of your files, with caching and stuff

Hope it's to your liking

Unfortunately I have time to build only the software that I need, and I'm a Mac user. If I'd do a cross platform version it will end up like the other crappy cross platform apps out there.
cristi_baluta··on I wanted a camera that doesn't exist, so I built it
Thanks! I'm comparing with the latest Ms, I'm not gonna buy old tech. I want also autofocus which this cameras don't have. It might be fun to manual focus with their lenses (also expensive) but I don't see myself doing this all the time.

Thanks for pointing out, it is AI bullshit, I generated the structure of the readme and didn't look what it wrote there. I'll fix on my next push.
