What’s new in Select

• New onboarding highlight for Scenes View and a stepped tour of the view.

• Fixed the contact support button on the generic error screen.

• Narrative Select is now available on Windows! This update also comes with several fixes and imporvements over the last version of the beta.

• Added a new option when renaming images to apply the rename to all files in the project, regardless of any filters currently set.

• Fixed a scenario where Shipping could fail when a folder contained many non-image files.
• Fixed the count shown on the main button when renaming images which could be incorrect in certain circumstances.

• Improvements to Change Capture Time:
  • Filter counts corrected to show unfiltered totals for each individual camera.
  • Your currently selected image remains as the preview image if you switch from 'Selected images' to the camera containing that image.
• Various minor UI improvements including:
  • Moved the Survey Mode icon next to Loupe, Scenes and Grid View icons in the horizontal toolbar.
  • We've simplified the help menu.
  • Simplified the description that shows below the filter bar in the Ship modal.
  • "Best focus" is now highlighted in blue when you hover over image focus score tooltips.
  • Removed an unnecessary preference to permanently show frames around faces.
  • Updated copy and illustration on the screen that shows if you try to create a project directly from a memory card.

• First Pass
  

  
  First Pass is our vastly improved AI-powered culling assistant that saves you heaps of time by getting you to your best photos, faster.

  Think of First Pass as your junior culling assistant. They added one of three labels to your photos – potential picks, unlikely picks and undesirable picks. 

  If you’re in a hurry, you can save heaps of time by hiding everything except potential picks and just looking through those. In most cases you’ll pick something from these. If you have more time to hand you could also quickly check the unlikely picks in case you didn’t find what you wanted from the potential picks. It’s highly unlikely you’d pick something with the undesirable picks label, so you can safely ignore these (unless you know you were trying to shoot something weird or arty that First Pass doesn’t understand).

  First Pass doesn’t do your culling for you, it’s an assistant – you are still the creative, artistic expert here. Ultimately, you have the final call.
