    • Centralized Keyword Management with Photos

      I'm trying to manage keywords from Peakto and to have them synced to Apple Photos or Lightroom CC. According to https://cyme.io/en/blog/how-to-effectively-assign-and-use-keywords-in-peakto-software/, Centralized Keyword Management works with Apple Photos.

    • QUESTION: What triggers Peakto's Face Tag import from Lightroom Classic?

      I tried tagging faces in Lightroom Classic, performing a CMD-S to Save Metadata in Lightroom Classic, and then did a Quick Sync in Peakto to import the face names. Nothing. Slowly, over time, some of those tags started showing up in the "Tagged in Other

    • FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to have numbers in Face Names

      Hello, I photograph a lot of volleyball players where a player's name needs to be annotated with their division and that division contains numbers. Unfortunately when tagging faces in the Peakto face view, numbers are consumed by the menu accelerators.

    • FEATURE REQUEST: Semi-automated Face Tagging, ala digikam.

      Shooting beach volleyball, I import photos of many, many faces that have already been tagged in older photos. Some type of automation for auto or semi-auto face tagging is desperately needed in Peakto. Perhaps something like digikam and Lightroom Classic

    • Bug when switching between versions

      Hi, Beta version 2.8.0 I'm in Detail view with a Mac Photos App library source, with the view mode as Instants. I have an instant which was taken using the 645 Pro app for iphone, which saved the original photo as a TIFF and a filtered version as a jpeg.

    • Inconsistent pick and reject tagging

      Not really a bug - but an inconsistency in the UI.. In 'Detail' view, hitting the P or X key to pick or reject an image sets the appropriate flag. Hitting the OPPOSITE flag (eg: if you have already set an image to 'Pick', and then hit X to set it to 'Reject'),

    • Customisable colours for 'picks' and 'rejects'

    • Filter 'exclusion' by source type

    • 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

    • Keyboard Shortcuts in Compare view when culling

    • Entire Lightroom Classic Catalogue reports as Virtual Copies

      I've spent the majority of the trial period importing my Lightroom Classic catalogue (v15.5) with over 600,000 photos. I thought it was strange that I couldn't edit many of the IPTC fields then read that Peakto doesn't support editing IPTC fields of Virtual

    • Trouble assigning faces

      Checking out Peakto again, it's really an amazing piece of software! Excellent UI design. I'm not a professional photographer, so maybe Peakto is overkill. My primary use case, at least initially, is to comb through the 61,173 photos I've collected over

    • Great product: Ideas to Make it Better

    • Questions about Culling

      I just installed the trial and so am very new to PeakTo. Is there a way to configure defaults for the culling tool? Whenever I launch it, it goes to a custom setting and if I then click on "Find Duplicates", it defaults to not an exact match. As a result,
