PM VERSION SEVEN

[Max Lemesh]

It was hinted recently that PM7 is on its way.
Though I don't expect PM to change dramatically, there are certain features that many would love to see.

I keep an eye on many of the alternative apps, and let me say that the backbone of PM remains unchallenged in workflow automation and working with metadata, but there are areas that must improve to stay current.

Recently AI changed everything from AI assisted or fully automatic culling, which in my mind made PM's fast culling not as exciting as before. Everything is doing it relatively fast now, even Bridge. So, I would love to see at the very least AI assisted culling features similar to Narrative or Aftershoot.

Please add your vision for PM7

I would like:

1. Basic photo editing just to fix a small problem with exposure for example.
2. A double window option so I can add captions and crop a photo in the same window.
3. More shorts cuts and a possibility to assign them myself.
4. If the weather is abd a trackpad can be a nightmare so assigning trackpad gestures to keyboard keys would be nice.
5. Now you can save snapshots but it takes time to get them again. Assign shortcuts or have a board visible so they can be chosen.
6. You can assign a trigger for jumping to next photo (star or tag). Would be nice if that could also happen with ftp.
7. Inbuilt automation instead of having to use other apps which doesn't work that well I think. We could have recipes like in photoshop.
8. Ability to write down speech. So I say a10 to the microphone on the camera and it writes it down and uses it as code replacement. With the above recipes I can then just send photos from camera and the only thing I have to do is accept or edit "a10" and it will be send with all captions.
9. We can paste a crop. I would like to add that when ingesting so I just have to correct the crop.
10 Faster is always great.
11. Faster FTP. Not as fast as separate ftp uploaders.
12. Maybe a range for uploaded jpegs instead of "limit file size to" But that might prolong the process.
13. Adding "metadata (iptc) template" (and choose a specific one)  under "save a copy of transmitted photos" so we could have two sets with different captions.
14. Ability to have stars trigger a process. So I could make a photo one star in my camera and i just have to ingest and certain actions will start.

Some ideas....

Thanks.
