NEW IN SNAPVIEW 3.0

From first pass to final edit, in one flow.

SnapView 3.0 introduces Creative Suite Preview for the first time, connecting AI-powered first-pass culling and photo editing without leaving the fast viewer flow.

01

Photo editing, now in SnapView

Keep a draft for each photo as you move through a shoot, with Light, Color, Tone Curve, Film, Crop and geometry, and Watermark & Frame tools ready in the same workflow.

02

AI-powered first-pass culling

Cull suggests Pick and Reject candidates in one analysis pass. It never changes source files automatically, and you stay in control of the final choice and result.

03

Bigger, clearer results with AI upscaling

Upscale smaller photos 2x or 4x with an on-device AI model, then inspect the result in split, side-by-side, or lens views. The source stays untouched; saving the result requires Supporter Pass.

Move between Edit, Film, and Cull, then keep editing steps in Recipe Timeline with named A/B snapshots—without adding a heavy catalog.

05

Move between Photos and folders

Improved Photos preview/original transitions and returning to your folder. Resize Navigator sources and hide or restore the Select Tray.

06

More reliable restore and save
