TODO: May be able to use NUAdjustmentSerialization directly to load an adjustment plist file from disk and bypass the permissions and other hacks for PhotoKit.

Did you ever have any success de-serializing the adjustment plist data?

I've added some PhotoKit methods (assisted by the work you did with PhotoHack) to osxphotos but would really like to be able to get the orientation for adjusted photos without messing with PhotoKit.

If you have done any more experimenting with this and have any pointers on where to start, I'd be happy to continue hacking at this.

Currently, osxphotos cannot export edited versions of RAW images because Photos stores no jpeg version of the adjustments -- it only stores the .plist with the adjustment data. I wonder if there's enough info in the adjustment data returned by photohack to re-create the edited image (e.g. apply all the adjustments via CoreImage) to create a rendered jpeg? Certainly beyond my skills at the moment but I'm willing to try to learn enough Swift to experiment with this. Alternatively, photohack might be able to request the rendered edited photo via PhotoKit.

Hi @neilpa I took a look at photohack again as I'm trying to figure out how to implement the multi-library mode PHPhotosLibrary interface you figured out into osxphotos. I've gotten the basic bits working but have not been able to figure out how to fetch all assets in the library. The usual methods, such as PHAsset.fetchAssetsWithOptions: fail with objc.error: NSInternalInconsistencyException - Calling single library mode API while in multi library mode. I can fetch a single asset given it's UUID with fetchPHObjectsForUUIDs:entityName: as you did in photohack but have not been able to find a method that will let me get all the assets or enumerate the uuids. Just wondering if you'd run across such in your hacking. I've combed the headers with no luck.
