Planned
- Planned
A better Gallery
A cleaner, easier Gallery: pick photos, arrange the timeline, and switch between galleries with fewer steps and clearer controls.
- Planned
Smarter burst stacks
Group bursts more accurately, so manual stacking can be retired.
- Planned
Better face recognition
Find faces more reliably, so every face counts toward focus, eyes, and Scene Rank.
- Planned
Recover outside changes
When files in a project are moved, renamed, or edited outside Photodepot, it finds what changed, keeps your culling work, and shows you anything it could not match.
- Planned
Wildlife recognition
Detect animals and animal faces, so wildlife photographers get the same focus and face checks.
- Planned
Advanced review tools
Highlight and shadow clipping overlays, focus peaking, a histogram, and synced zoom when comparing frames.
- Planned
Export a selection
Export just the photos you have selected instead of the whole project.
- Planned
Quick JPEG export
Export JPEGs straight from Cull for fast, unedited delivery.
- Planned
Rename on export
Export sequences with your own file names and numbering.
- Planned
Collaborate without installing
Join a project from a web browser on any phone, tablet, or computer to rate and pick photos, no download needed.
Shipped
Scene Rankv0.8.0
Every stack is ranked against its scene, from Best in scene to Undesirable, by closed or partly closed eyes, subject focus, and clipping, and leads with the frame worth keeping. It never picks, rejects, or rates for you.
Progress while a project opensv0.8.0
Opening a project shows each step with counts and a bar, and the folder dialog says whether Continue opens a project or starts a new one.
File naming on ingestv0.5.1
Name copies as they ingest with templates: capture date and time, camera, contributor, project, and a sequence shared by a RAW, its JPEG, and its XMP. The card is never touched.
Cull opens where your plan startsv0.5.1
Cull opens in Stacks when your plan includes it, and in Single otherwise, with the views ordered Stacks, Single, Compare, Grid.
Grids that fill on first openv0.5.1
Wide grids no longer show missing previews until you scroll; every cell loads the first time.
Basic planv0.5.0
Ingest, cull, and organize on Basic, and join any team project with any account.
exFAT and FAT drivesv0.4.4
Ingest from and work on exFAT and FAT drives, which keep their identity between connections.
Fuller RAW and video metadatav0.4.3
Read camera settings from more RAW formats and capture times from video.
Color labelsv0.4.2
Label photos by color in Cull, read and written the way Lightroom does.
Guided tourv0.4.1
A short tour of each screen the first time you open it, with first-run setup.
Sorted stacks and a faster Cull gridv0.4.0
Stacks sort by capture time, the grid spans every item, and Cull keeps your place when a filter changes.
Lightroom-ready XMPv0.4.0
Ratings, flags, labels, and tags travel to other apps in standard XMP sidecars.
Accounts and plansv0.3.0
Sign in with a Photodepot account and manage your Macs and plan online.
Sorting and filtersv0.3.0
Sort and filter photos with compact controls, in one viewer shared by Cull, Organize, and Gallery.
Automatic updatesv0.2.5
Photodepot checks for new releases and installs them when you approve.
Contributor ingest
Ingest cards from several photographers into one project, and pick up a partial ingest later.
Galleries
Build named galleries and export them in order, alongside exposure settings in Cull.
Faster export
Export in parallel, copy to any mounted drive, and trim clips losslessly.
Tester program
The first testers started using Photodepot at real events.
Signed Mac builds
Signed and notarized by Apple, with analysis starting while cards ingest.
Folder structure editor
Lay out destination folders before you organize.
Team review
One Mac hosts and others on the same network cull and organize the same project live.
Video review
Play back clips, set In and Out markers, and trim on export.
Verified ingest and export
Copies are checksum-verified, duplicates are caught, and export previews every move first.
