In September, we introduced several updates, including an Info Panel with a camera HUD-style display and detailed metadata, max zoom percentage, max zoom toggle for non-Apple mice, the ability to archive projects, and a feature for cycling through photos in the current scene. These updates are a direct response to your requests and upvotes on our feedback hub. Keep them coming!

Keep your eyes on the important camera settings with our HUD (Heads-Up Display) feature! Now, essential photo metadata is right on top, ensuring you never miss a crucial detail while culling. This was shipped in version 1.3.0.

Max Zoom Percentage and Toggle

You can toggle the maximum zoom using the middle click, the shortcut key 'C,' or the standard macOS Smart Zoom gestures. You can also update the maximum zoom by selecting from the dropdown in the toolbar, with options for 50%, 100%, 200%, 300%, or 400%. Alternatively, you can use the standard shortcut keys (CMD =) to increase and (CMD -) to decrease the maximum zoom. The mouse button number for toggling the maximum zoom is configurable in the OptiCull settings. This was shipped in version 1.4.0.
