This Avalanche update introduces improvements and increased compatibity. It is recommended to all our users. - NEW: added support for the latest cameras. - NEW: added the ability to not export the adjustment computed via Machine Learning. - NEW: added more flexibility when dropping a C1 project into the main view. - IMPROVED: improved conversion to Apple Photos. - IMPROVED: reliability of conversion in some specific scenarios. - FIXED: fixed a possible failure to generate a correct Apple Photos library when the duration of some videos were incorrect. - FIXED: added support for Apple Photos catalog with the new Sonoma format. - FIXED: when exporting folders from Luminar, the root folders where not properly set - FIXED: many smaller problems.

- NEW : updated for Adobe Lightroom v12. - BETA: added support for migrating to **Apple Photos**. All the structure and metadata is properly migrated but only the geometry adjustments are migrated. - NEW : added export route from C1 to Lightroom - NEW : vastly improved conversion of adjustments when migrating from Adobe Lightroom. - NEW : updated for Apple Ventura (macOS 13). - NEW : added support for Apple Photos library in Ventura. - NEW : full support for C1 v23 catalog format at export time. - NEW : support for collections of variants (introduced in C1 v23). - NEW : added support HSL Mixing in C1 (when migrating from LR). - NEW : added support Color correction in C1 (when migrating from LR). - NEW : added support for Clarity conversion in C1. - NEW : added support for Dehaze conversion in C1. - NEW : detection of versions using **Lightroom presets** (when migrating from LR). All variants based on a Preset are tagged in C1 using keywords. A new Smart album is automatically created for versions based on presets - NEW : when migrating from LR, keywords are used to tag the **preset names** to make it easier to find versions based on a specific LR preset. - NEW : when **migrating previews**, the variants for which a preview was generated or for which a preview was expected but is missing are now tagged with specific keywords. New Smart albums are created in C1 to easily identify those variants. - NEW : when **migrating from Lightroom**, presets can be converted into C1 styles. The styles do not need to be applied as their effect is already included in the migrated adjustments, but they can be accessed for reference. - NEW : added support for reading CaptureOne v23 catalogs. - FIXED : fixed the export of image titles when migrating to LR. - FIXED : fixed a very rare crash when opening some corrupted Aperture libraries. - FIXED : fixed the reading of keywords in CaptureOne. - FIXED : when converting to CaptureOne, we fixed a problem where the origin point of a curve would be missing causing some color artefacts. - FIXED : when converting from Apple Photos, we properly handle referenced files that were renamed. - FIXED : when converting from Luminar, we could fail to load some adjusted images resulting in missing masters/versions in the output. - FIXED : many smaller problems. - FIXED : when converting from CaptureOne, some master images (mostly RAW NEF files with specific compression:14bits,...) could be missing. - FIXED: fixed an issue where some C1 conversion could lead to non-editable images when the import date was unspecified. - IMPROVED : when exporting from Aperture, we improved how we separate the Albums and Project hierarchies.

• when exporting from Aperture, we now correctly separate the Albums and Project hierarchies. • when exporting from Aperture, we now preserve the order of all items in the Albums and Project hierarchies. • when exporting from Luminar, we now correctly export all exif. • added support for CaptureOne v15.x (including 15.2). When running Avalanche with C1 v15.2 beta installed, one could get an error message complaining about misplaced Film curves and Film profiles. • fixed the export of albums to Capture One. • the projects in CaptureOne now properly show the content below. • the original image names are preserved when exporting from Apple Photos. • a possible crash when accessing the preferences. • many smaller problems.

- added support for migrating **Apple Photos** catalogs (in Big Sur and Monterrey). Older Apple Photos catalogs are currently not supported. Please refer to our web site for the list of supported features when coming from those catalog types. - added a hint in the main user interface concerning the number of master images that are also present in the cloud. - included daylight saving when migrating versions to CaptureOne. Avalanche will use the timezone information inside the source catalog to ensure the migrated assets have the correct capture date and time and daylight savings are taken into account. - improved the handling of projects - the handling of photostreams is now improved in the case of Aperture → CaptureOne. Previously, all Aperture Photostreams would be systematically ignored when migrating to C1. Now you have the choice. - the images names are now handled in a case insensitive manner. In previous versions, the migration could generate a lot of errors when some image files had names differing only by case. Now, this is well handled. - fixed the export of LR catalogs containg assets synchronized in the Adobe Cloud. All images that were synchronized with the cloud used to be totally ignored. - the Preferences panel could not be launched. - fixed many smaller problems.

- added compatibility with Capture One v22. - fixed a possible timezone error when migrating versions to CaptureOne. Avalanche will use the timezone information inside the source catalog to ensure the migrated assets have the correct capture date and time. - improved performance has been improved in some situations. - fixed many smaller problems.

- improved compatibility with Lightroom Classic 11. - fixed a possible date error when migrating versions with modified capture dates (for example, scans) to CaptureOne. - fixed a possible bad profile assignment in C1. - fixed a possible crash situation when dealing with bad EXIF data (for example, out of range camera focal lengths). - fixed some filtering issues in the main user interface. - fixed many smaller problems.

• added support for migrating iView Media Pro, Expression Media and PhaseOne Media Pro catalogs. Please refer to our web site for the list of supported features when coming from those catalog types. • added support for v14.4 of CaptureOne • fixed some date reading issues when coming from Aperture • fixed a possible crash situation occurring when migrating libraries with PDFs, PSDs or other less common image types. • fixed many smaller problems.

This Avalanche update adds support for migration from Google Photos. It also fixes some important issues and improves reliability and performances. It is recommended to all our users. - add support for migrating Google Photos takeouts. Google photos and videos from a takeout can be imported with their annotations, the albums they belong to, into an output catalog that Avalanche supports. Faces are imported as keywords. - added the ability to export masters in a YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD folder structure. - improved the way we choose the Camera color profile for some cameras (e.g Pentax) and for DNG files when migrating to Capture One. - RAW+JPEG pairs are now properly migrated to Luminar when coming from Aperture - fixed many smaller problems.

This Avalanche update fixes some important issues and improves reliability and performances. It is recommended to all our users. - when migrating to C1, the image colours could appear dull (when the installed version of C1 was 14.1 or above). - in some situations, when migrating to C1 (mostly when using RAW + JPEGs) the metadata of some image could be wrong. - in some situations, when migrating to C1, the curves could be inaccurate causing some weird colour effects. - when migrating from Aperture, images that had a disabled WhiteBalance panel would have their migrated temperature set to 5500 rather than the AsShot temperature. - some missing German and Japanese localization in the C1 settings screen. - migration to C1 could fail when the app was run in Japanese or German. - some Luminar AI catalogs would not be properly processed (missing masters after migration). - when migrating to C1, the lens profile can now be changed after migration. - when migrating to C1, changing the lens distortion now has the proper effect. - keywords for videos are now properly migrated in C1. - fixed many smaller problems.

- Capture One export option would not always show up

• NEW: added full support for migrating to Capture One. • fixed a problem when accessing the master folders list in Apple Aperture. • fixed the spinning beachball could appear when launching a conversion from Aperture, making the whole interface unresponsive for a long time in the case of large catalogs. The underlying validity check that was causing this has been replaced with a super fast check. • the destination path is now unchanged between consecutive migration. Previously it was updated every time causing successive migration to be wrongly located. • DNG White Balance is properly computed for some specific formats (DNGs lossy compression) that were not properly handled. • fixed a number of user interfaces glitches and localization improvements.

• a clear dialog is now displayed when folders with masters in them are missing on online volumes. Choice is given to continue or cancel the conversion. In previous versions, the masters would be skipped without a good reporting on the error. • added support for Luminar and Luminar AI as a source. • Luminar previews are now supported and can be exported. • exporting Luminar previews is now disabled when migrating to Luminar AI. • the little arrow next to the catalog name allows to easily navigate to the catalog in the Finder. • improved error reporting in the logs, especially for missing files on disk. • the EXIF capture date could be wrong in some situations. Timezone information is properly taken into account. • the EXIF aperture value was wrong in the LR metadata/search field. • fixed a number of user interfaces glitches and localization improvements.

• Added support for migration of Aperture and Lightroom to Luminar AI. • Added support for migration of Luminar 4 catalogs to Luminar AI while keeping the vast majority of complex enrichments. The full list of supported filters is: Light, Enhance AI, Structure AI, Color, BW Conversion, Details Enhancer, Denoise, Landscape Enhancer, Sky Replacement AI, Augmented Sky AI, Sunrays, Dramatic, Matte look, Mystical, Glow, Film Grain, Face AI, Skin AI, High Key, Advanced Contrast. • Added support for photostreams in Aperture. You can now choose to process or ignore photostreams. • Added support for Apple Silicon Macs (M1). • Added support for Lightroom 10 database format. • new Big Sur icon style. • Vastly improved performance when browsing catalogs in the browser. • Added proper support for non-latin characters in all IPTC fields (it was only working properly in the main fields, like caption, etc...) • Fixed a possible error when accessing catalogs on network drives • Fixed a possible metadata loss when migrating IPTC fields to LR containing unicode characters (in particular when using the "©" symbol for the copyright). • Fixed a possible mixup in IPTC metadata between Job identifier and Job title. • Fixed a possible timezone conversion error when migrating images • Fixed a possible error when accessing catalogs on network drives • Fixed a number of user interfaces glitches and localization improvements.

- [NEW]: added support for Lightroom Classic v10 that was just released by Adobe. v10 catalogs are properly read by Avalanche. - [FIXED]: Several crash situations reported by our users - [FIXED]: Timeline display issues in the situation of dates spanning several decades - [FIXED]: a number of User interfaces glitches. - [IMPROVED]: added a better crash reporting system.
