From a discussion I had with Nik (Very approachable, very responsive, knowledgable, lead of Aperture) at Raw Photo, when multiple extensions have touched the same image, the last extension is suppose to grab the edited image, not the original. That doesn't appear to be happening.

1. Open an image in the RAW Power app or any other app the supports Photos editing from the Photos Library.
2. Do some wonkie color adjustments to make it obvious a change has been made.
3. Save the changes to the Photos library.
4. In PP invoke New from Photos….
5. View the thumbnail of the edited image from within the File Open Dialog.
Notice: the color adjustments reflect what Raw Power did.
6. Open the image.
Notice: PP grabs the original and not the edited version.
Notice: When PP is used as an extension from within the Photos app. It grabs the edited image.

Expected:The second App, PP in this case, is suppose to grab the edited image from the Photos Library, not the original.


This is an article that Nik wrote on editing with Photos and extensions.

Yep, this one's on us. In order to fix this, we'll need to vastly update the Photo library integration in Pixelmator Pro. That’s in our plans.
