Announcing Avalanche for Lightroom 1.0 !

The CYME team is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Avalanche 1.0, the new photo migration software for macOS with Machine Learning capabilities.

Avalanche is designed to convert catalogs of photographs from one application to another while keeping the organisational structures intact, ensuring all metadata flows without losses and image adjustments are replicated with the best possible results.

Avalanche is available to download from the CYME website.
