Even for manual culling, you can sift through duplicate scenes using innovative closeups panel, side-by-side comparison and synced zoom modes.

Updated review

OptiCull needs a sign-in, but the proceedure implies using the Apple password. The developer's response to my earlier quite negative review indicated this is a local matter, requiring the local password for the computer, not the general password for Apple. Once I entered my local password, opticull came up and I can continue testing its abilities. My thanks to the developer for their timely and helpful response.

Developer Response ,

Hi,

Short Summary of possible cause: If you are trying to Sign in with Apple on a Mac that doesn't have Touch ID or if it is not configured, the Apple dialog asks for your system passcode to confirm that you want to use your displayed Apple ID to sign in. Users often try their Apple ID password instead of the system passcode on this prompt, resulting in sign-in failure.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing with OptiCull. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we're committed to resolving this issue promptly. To better assist you, I recommend reaching out to our support team directly at support@dopeai.tech. I will personally work closely with you to resolve the login issue and ensure that our app functions seamlessly for you.

Details of possible cause: When you sign in with Apple on OptiCull, Apple displays the Apple ID login dialog. If you have already signed in to your Mac with your Apple ID, it just needs to confirm if you want to continue with that account. For the confirmation, it either uses Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode (in case Touch ID is not available or not configured). Users often try their Apple ID password instead of the system passcode on this prompt, resulting in sign-in failure.

Once you click the Sign in with Apple button, what you see is Apple's own sign-in flow, and OptiCull doesn't receive any of your credentials. You can find more information about this in Apple's guide: https://support.apple.com/en-in/102609 -> "Use Sign in with Apple" section.

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to assisting you further.

Best regards,

Subscriptions

Lifetime license used to be $60. Subscription is $100/yr. Not interested in another subscription, just research, there are other alternatives!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback regarding our pricing structure, and I appreciate your interest in OptiCull.

The $60 OptiCull Pro Lifetime license was part of our launch pricing and had limited seats available. After all launch pricing seats were filled, we settled on USD 10 per month (USD 8 per month when paid annually) for OptiCull Pro subscription. I believe that OptiCull Pro adds significant value to professional photographers by saving them a considerable amount of time during the culling process.

To better understand your specific use case and discuss how OptiCull can add value to your workflow, I kindly invite you to reach out to us at support@dopeai.tech.

I look forward to hearing from you and exploring how OptiCull can meet your needs.

Best regards,
