Custom Keybindings for Assessment Overrides

The assessment overrides work very well, but the placement on the keyboard doesn't feel intuitive to me. I rarely (if ever) use "Replace as Keeper" for instance, but continually use "Duplicate." For me, the ability to map "Reject" as 'R', "Duplicate" as 'T', "Keeper" as 'Y', and "Highlight" as 'U' would be a huge quality of life improvement (it would feel like a 1-4 rating system, while using Opticull's intended workflow).The difference for me would be night and day, and I find myself going back to the Number/Star systems because they feel faster.

Filter mode for bracketed photo series (HDR)?

Thanks for a great culling application. For my landscape photography I rely a lot on bracketed photos (HDR) where the camera takes a series of three or five photos in a burst with one underexposed, one "normal" exposure and one overexposed in order to capture highlights and shadows. I use Affinity Photo later to merge the photos into one HDR photo. However, culling these shoots is a real pain as there are always three (or five) identical photos in the grid, where only one of them are normally exposed and suitable for comparing with the next normally exposed photo in the next bracketed photo series. I would love to be able to filter these type of shoots in order to more quickly compare the normally exposed photos for each bracketed series, so I can choose which series to go forward with. Perhaps it is possible to filter based on image timestamp and exposure compensation together, or to analyze the scene so that OptiCull understands these are bracketed photos of the same scene and only show the normally exposed one? I am not sure, but this would be extremely useful. Thanks again!

Export only side car files instead of original images.

I'd want to export only the side car files to a particular directory instead of creating a copy of my original RAW images along with it.

Grid sizing

It would be nice to have a slider to affect the size of the images in the grid view. I cannot seem to change that and there is a lot of extra white space on the right size of the grid view...seems wasteful. Thanks.

Photos.app integration

I need to be able to create a project from a folder in Photos.app. Or some similar way to better integrate with Photos.app. (See Darkroom app, they did a nice job)

So, besides faces...

This could be controversial but here goes. Culling software (Aftershoot, OptiCull, etc.) all focus on AI models based on the only belief that culling is about faces...in focus, smiling, eyes open, etc. There are a lot of photographers who shoot other subjects like wildlife, landscapes, etc. Here's the ask...are there other AI models to allow culling of these different genre? Aftershoot offers about six or so but they are all people-focused events (wedding, etc.). Can't find anything but face stuff in Narrative Select. I've not found any other culling software that provides options for "what" to cull around (meaning type of photos in the session).So here's an opportunity to leap-frog the others with the ability to choose the type of culling the user wants to run (which of course uses the appropriate AI engine).Thanks for considering this.

Home Screen image pick

Just started the trial for Pro. On the home screen, the image that OptiCull Pro picks is not always the best. It would be nice to right-click on an image in the Grid view and "Select as Home Image" or something similar. Then, on the Home view, if the image is not centered great, right-clicking on the image on the Home view would afford us the ability to reposition the image in the bounding box of the Home view. Thanks.

Documentation

I would like more documentation of all the capabilities and features so I can use the app in the best most powerful way.

When culling, I want to be able to discard images, not just tag them

As far as I can tell, I can ship files to a specific app list or export selected images to a new directory. Culling means removing or eliminating. It should be as simple to delete, or move to a trash bin, each photo as it is to classify it.

It should be possible to easily pause or cancel the ingest/ analysis process.

More options on where to send images

The list of programs that I can send images to should not be a fixed list but customizable so I can use more than one program. This is a significant nuisance to me in my workflow. I don't use Adobe or Capture One. Apple Photos is for snapshots.

File import feature request

The images come from the media taken from the camera. There should be a feature to import images from the card to a temporary working space, and only transferring non-rejects to a more permanent project folder.

Zoom mode

While the close up panel is open and we zoom by pressing the space bar, can the close up panel be hidden to give a bigger screen for the zoomed image. Then when the space bar is pressed again to resume Loupe view, the close up panel re-appears.

Zoom level

Please give us a drop-down option on the top task bar, to be able to select the zoom level (50%, 100%, 200%, 300% etc.) when the space bar is pressed. This way we will know at what zoom level we are seeing the face.

Scene View

In the 'Scene' view, can we have a keyboard shortcut to move between images only in that Scene (without going to the image in the next Scene, as is the case now by using the left/right cursor keys).)

Colour Blind

At least 10% of people using this will be colour blind. Could the rating system use symbols as well as the current colour rating system. For example : Green - A solid Circle.Yellow - A Square outlineRed - A TriangleBlue - A solid SquareOrange - An upside down TriangleEtc...

One click button to remove a project without deleting it

Could we get a One click button to easily remove a project without deleting it, please? I don't want the Home Screen to be full of projects, I just want to have current projects that I am working on visible. A one click button which would leave the ratings intact but remove the project would be great. This would mean that if I wanted to re-import the project that the ratings would still be intact.J

Improve AI to reliably detect faces at longer distances

Currently face detection is limited to faces large enough to take around 20% of the whole photo. Improve this to detect even faces at longer distances. Can be useful in sport shoots and even in wedding shoots for group photos.

Emotion detection and tagging

Detect emotions like smiling, kissing etc and tag photos to filter photos with selected emotions. This can be used to add exceptions to blink detection also.
