Photomator • Re: RAW+HEIC pairs?

To my knowledge the pairs, be it RAW+JPG or RAW+HEIC, are displayed as such anytime there is two files with an identical name, and the respective extensions. Cameras always save two files, this is not specific to your camera. So if you copy two image files with same name but different extensions they should show as a pair.

With regards to editing one or the other, I find Photomator poorly designed and I reported it, there are also threads about this issue. However so far they have not executed fixing that. So if your right-click an image pair, you will not get something like "Edit RAW" plus "Edit HEIC" in the menu. The only control you have is in the global app settings, where you set the default to RAW or non-RAW and it will open the corresponding file when you click it. This is however a global setting so you cannot chose on a per image basis, which is what most people are looking for I believe - you edit the JPEG when it looks good enough, and switch to RAW when the JPEG is lacking (High dynamic rance, dark shadows, etc). As it is you need to change the app setting every time you chose one or the other, a real pain.

On iPad it is more usable because in the right-click menu, if you have the default to RAW it will offer "Edit JPG" and if your default is JPG it will offer "Edit RAW" allowing you to pick one or the other in a rather confusing manner. Simply offering both choices in the menu would be much simpler but ....
Thanks for the info, I will keep it in my mind.
