• The Moment info badge appears when there is more than one version within a Moment. The badge takes the form nn/mm, where nn is the number of versions within the currently selected scope, while mm is the total number of versions found by Peakto. For example, 1/2 means there is 1 version within the current scope, out of 2 total.
  

• The type of information displayed is controlled via View ➜ Grid View Options in the menu, or by using the contextual View Options menu accessible with Control+Click on the grid.
  

 Anatomy of a “Video Cell”   

Videos are distinguished from photos by a Play icon and a duration label. You can also display format labels by enabling all tags in the grid.

When hovering over a video thumbnail with your cursor, a scrubber appears, allowing you to preview the video. You can switch to Detail View to access the video player and contact sheet.

Video-specific information includes:

• Timestamps and icons: Videos display timecode and a small icon at the top, identifying them as videos.

• Hover preview: When you hover your mouse over a video thumbnail, a silent preview plays, built by sampling frames from the original video at a frequency that depends on its length. (This requires the video file to be online at ingestion time.)

• Contact sheet & player: An extra icon at the bottom opens a window with both a contact sheet and a player. The contact sheet lets you jump quickly to different parts of the video, while the player lets you watch the entire video with sound.

If the original video file is offline (for example, stored on an external drive), you can still view the silent sampled preview (summary video), but the full player will not be available—only the contact sheet.

 Additional Video Cell Features   

• Full player & contact sheet: Double-clicking a video opens the complete player with sound and a contact sheet on the left, helping you quickly navigate and play specific sections.

• Annotations: Videos can be annotated in the same way as other items in Peakto, letting you add detailed notes and metadata.

• Summary screen: The summary screen has been updated to include detailed video information such as video and audio codecs, as well as file-specific details like format, duration, and more.

Note for Capture One users: For videos imported from Capture One, Peakto ensures dates are set correctly. Unlike Capture One—where dates are often missing—Peakto retrieves all metadata directly from the video files, guaranteeing that all relevant information is accurately captured and displayed.

Panorama View

Note: Panorama applies only to the first preview frame of a video, not to its individual scenes.

Without altering the original structure of your catalogs or creating duplicates, Peakto gives you a sorted view of your images effortlessly. You can also use the AI-assigned categories as filters.

In Panorama View, your photos are automatically categorized by:

• Categories: Architecture, Astrophotography, x, Automobile, Event & Wedding, Fashion, Food & Drink, Nature, People, Portrait, Screenshots, Sports, Street, Underwater.

• Styles: Abstract, Aerial, Macro, Night.

• Harmony & Colors: Composite, Complementary, Triad, Split Complementary; Colors (Brown, Chocolate, Golden, Green, Yellow, Blue, etc.).

• People: Solo, Duo, Small Group, Large Group.

• Lighting: Bright, Dark, Highly Saturated, Under-saturated, High Contrast, Low Contrast.

Note: If a category automatically assigned by Peakto’s AI does not match your image, you can easily change it in the right sidebar under the AI tab.

Map View 

• In the Inspector, a mini-map centered on the coordinates of the currently selected image (if available).
  

• In the Action Bar, a full world map showing all the images from the current main view.
  

Faces View

Face Annotations Using Clusters  

Clusters containing more than five faces will be displayed in a dedicated Face Recognition view, accessible from the Action Bar.

To annotate these faces, simply assign a name to the suggested cluster. By clicking the edit button, you can review all the faces recognized within that cluster and confirm them. Once named, every photo in the cluster will automatically be annotated with that person’s name.

For example, if you name the cluster “James”, all photos in that cluster will be tagged with James. You can always rename the cluster later if needed, or choose to ignore the cluster, which will remove it from the view.

Within the cluster view, you can toggle between two display modes:

• A face-centered view

• A full-photo view showing the person within the complete image

This process makes it easy to organize and manage face annotations in Peakto, ensuring that your images are properly categorized and fully searchable.

If you notice an error in the facial recognition results—for example, if someone is incorrectly identified as Ana but is actually someone else—you can quickly correct it. Simply select the person, assign the correct name (e.g., Maureen), and the photo will automatically be moved out of the Ana cluster. A new cluster named Maureen will then be created with the correct image.

This ensures that face recognition in Peakto remains both accurate and well-organized.

Face Annotations Using Detail View  

In Peakto, you may encounter situations where some people are missed or only appear once or twice—meaning no cluster has been created for them. You can still annotate these faces directly in Detail View, choosing between two annotation modes:

• Manual Annotation Mode:

• This mode displays all recognized faces in an image and lets you annotate them individually.

1. Select an image with unannotated faces.

2. Click each face to assign a name.

• Flow Mode:

• This mode allows you to move seamlessly from one image to the next, annotating faces sequentially.

1. Start annotation in Flow Mode to cycle through your images.

2. If you come across a face you want to skip (for example, an unknown person), press the Ignore button to move on.

3. For new faces, assign names as you go. For example, when you see a new person, type in their name and press Tab to move to the next face.

4. If Peakto detects a face similar to one already annotated, it will suggest names from a list. You can quickly choose the correct name using keyboard shortcuts.

Merging Clusters  

If you notice that two face groups represent the same person but have different names, you can merge them:

1. Go to the Groups view and select the groups you want to merge.

2. Rename one of the groups with the correct name.

3. Peakto will merge the groups, combining all the images into a single, correctly named group.

Using Filters  

As with all other views in Peakto, the Faces View displays all annotated faces within a specific scope.

• The upper section shows the faces recognized by Peakto.

• The lower section shows the faces coming from the original catalog.

Note: Currently, Peakto does not allow annotation of faces that are not visible (for example, people shown from the back). This feature may evolve in the future, but for now, only recognized faces can be annotated.
