3.1 Improvements / Fixes Improvements - With Quick Check on, SnapView analyzes focus, exposure, closed eyes, and framing on this Mac as you browse, and shows an AI score with a short reason.

Close calls stay as joint candidates, and your selections stay unchanged until you apply a recommendation. - Auto Cull now suggests candidates and exclusions for standalone photos by measuring focus, closed eyes, and exposure. Photos that need a closer look are listed separately for review. - Summarize text in a photo or ask questions about it, with the source text and its location in the photo shown alongside the answer. - Check whether photos share the same scene and lighting before copying adjustments to them. - Compare a new development of supported RAW photos and save it as a full-size copy. - Photos with recorded AI generation or editing information now show a badge. - AI upscale is ready to use right away, and larger photos can be upscaled when your Mac has enough memory. - Thumbnails appear faster when you enter Grid, and photos on external SSDs load faster. - When you pause in the main view, nearby photos are prepared in advance so the next photo appears sooner. - Open PICT (.pct, .pict) images. - Translated new features and the EXIF editing and disk access screens that appeared in English in 12 languages other than Korean and English.
