    • 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
    • Peakto performance during AI analyzis has been degraded since 1.8.6 on Intel Mac

      Hello, Since the last update (1.8.6), I've noticed a huge degradation of the performance during the AI analysis. My Intel iMac is freezing up during the analysis, where before this update it was running fine. Currently Peakto is unusable in my machine.
    • Unanswered support re instagram and LR not opening images

      Howdy, I've been trialing Peakto, which has now expired. I put in a support ticket almost 2 weeks ago re Instagram not being added (even though credentials entered without problem), and a couple days ago re when trying to open an image in LR, LR opens
    • "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.

    • Sync between 2 Macs

    • 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.

      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
    • 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 ?

    • Expansion on Color filtering

      Would love the ability to filter by No Color Label (Clear). And would also love to see a small square or some sort of indicator icon for the color label while in grid view.
    • 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
    • Detail view issue

      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.
    • Auto detect/import Capture One sessions

      I use Capture One sessions for most work. How can I automatically detect and import these sessions? It's quite a bit of clicking about to import each of the sessions I have.

    • Moving RAW files to a new hard disk

    • Black & white / monochrome photo categorization by AI

      Does the AI have any way to identify and group/categorize black & white/monochrome photos? I would expect to see this in the "Colors" or "Style" section, but I don't see it anywhere.

    • Can Luminar Neo be added as a workspace?
