    • Peakto vs Mylio

      I am wondering what Peakto offers that Mylio doesn't - the free version of Mylio seems to do a lot. Just wondering if anyone in the Peakto community has any advice. Thanks.
    • Map view

      When you select a photo and then switch to Map view, the map is zoomed out, and all photos taken in the area are shown with – as far as I can tell – nothing to indicate which one is selected. It would be useful if instead the map was zoomed in on the
    • Filter by aspect ratio

      Hi, It would be great to be able to filter images by a certain aspect ratio. For example, I like shooting in 65:24 so I'd like to be able to retrieve these pictures instantly. I think it would be useful for a lot of people, even with more "standard" aspect
    • Impossible to select "RAW image" in the filter

    • Panoramas and HDRs are not "Instants"

      A series of similar photos for panoramas, stacks and HDRs are not "Instants". I wish there was a recognition of these use cases (by similarity and time stamps?) and a way to group them differently from instants. Possible? :-)

    • Capture One Previews - Session Output

      I understand that previews are an issue with Capture One. I saw some posts that there was some collaborative work going on with Capture One, the company, to solve this issue. That seemed to be a year ago but as of now, with Peakto 1.9.5, the issue is
    • Peakto stuck forever in "Checking incremental changes from source.."

      I have updated macOS from 14.01 to 14.1 and updated my photo library (it did "something" on first startup of Apple Photos). In Peakto, it successfully synced new items from Apple Photos, but has not run AI analysis on them. I triggered this manually by

    • Peakto does show duplicates that I've deleted from Lightroom

      How to get peakto to actually synchronize to such changes in Lightroom? I deleted several duplicates in lightroom some days ago, but they still show up in peakto. I've tried to synchronize several times, but there is no change at all.
    • How can I add metadata in Peakto that gets synced to Apple Photos?

      Hi, I'm trying to use Peakto to help organise my Apple Photos library. Most useful are the various advanced smart filters and image similarity searches in Peakto, which helps me find images I want to delete or organise differently. Ideally I would want
    • Images in the wrong order (Capture One catalogues)

      Images keep showing up in the wrong order. It's always one older image at a time appearing among newer, unrelated images. And it's the same regardless of whether I sort by Original Date, Capture Date or Digitized Date. By the way, shouldn't it by "Sort

    • "Edit in Lightroom" switches to LRC and opens the correct catalog, but that's about it.

      When I try to open an image in LRC by clicking "Edit in Lightroom", LRC restarts with the correct catalog (if needed), but it does not open the image. LRC just stays at the last open image in the particular catalog. I see there has been a similar problem
    • Peakto analyzes image aesthetics for all images on every synchronization

      Peakto analyzes image aesthetics for all images in a catalogue every time this catalogue is synchronized. This takes quite a while. Is this how it's supposed to be?
    • Global Score identical to Aesthetic Score?

      Global Score appears to be identical to Aesthetic Score for all images. I assume this isn't how it's supposed to be? (Version 1.8.7 6868; default Aesthetic Score settings.)
    • Peakto Activation Server is currently down.

    • Four of each keyword?

      All of a sudden I have four apparently identical instances of many keywords: I have four Capture One catalogues in Peakto; I assume this has something to do with it. But is this how it's supposed to be – a set of keywords for each catalogue?
    • Option to filter images by clicking on keyword tag

      It would be useful if you could click on a keyword in the keyword section to show all images with this keyword. E.g. click on the keyword 'Architecture' to have Peakto show all images with this keyword.

    • Searching Instants

      I am pleased that the instants are finally working for my setup (they didn't before 1.8.1) but what doesn't work is searching instants. What I like to do is a search like 'find all instants that have a Capture One version AND an Apple Photos version'.
    • Details view in Versions mode: keyboard navigation

      When moving between images (that do not belong to the same instant) using the left and right arrow keys, Peakto will move the selection between the thumbnails of the images and display the preview belonging to the selected image. This works until the
    • macOS Sonoma is coming. What Peakto widgets would you need ?

    • Face search from LRC catalog isn't useful

      A lot of my data comes from people so face search is really important to me. I am fairly good at tagging faces in LRC, so I was pretty hopeful for Peakto to pull that data in. It does... but it seems to also pull in Lightroom's "this might be this person"
    • Option to select image currently selected in Capture One (or other applications)

      While Peakto has an option to open an image in Capture One (or other applications), it would be useful to have an option in Peakto to select the image currently selected in Capture One, for instance if you wanted to annotate this image or add it to an

      In Detail view, photos edited in Capture One appear like this: I assume the overlaid edited version is supposed to be fully rather than only partly visible. This is in version 1.8.0c 6622.
