See live catalog
Choose Finish fast for speed or Background to save points. Points are used only for successful new cloud AI results.
- ✓Finish fast uses 2 points per selected shot.
- ✓Background uses 1 point per selected shot.
- ✓Only successful new AI results spend points. Work confirmed not to have produced a new result releases its reserved balance; uncertain outcomes remain pending until resolved.
AI Analysis Points Packs
Points Packs are one-time purchases and never expire. Prices and Point amounts come from the live catalog; already-analyzed local material remains searchable without using points.
How Points are used
- •Finish fast uses 2 points per selected shot.
- •Background uses 1 point per selected shot.
- •Browsing your already-analyzed local library does not use Points.
- •Submitting analysis reserves the displayed amount. Only successful new AI results are deducted; work confirmed not to have produced a new result releases its reserved balance, while uncertain outcomes remain pending until resolved.
- •The app shows the estimated Point cost before submission and the exact settled amount after successful results are written.
What you keep
- •You pay for AI analysis of new shots. Shots you have already analyzed stay in your local library on your Mac, and opening or searching them again does not use Points.
- •Browsing and searching your already-analyzed library works offline and does not depend on an active subscription.
- •If you stop buying Points, your already-analyzed library stays usable locally. Unused Points stay in your account and do not expire.
