Thanks for the clarity and candor in your reviews. It’s greatly appreciated. I’m new to Peakto and trying to learn my away around in the app. One question I have is when accessing multiple catalogs and images, is there a way to keep keyword use consistent. For instance, I have been testing several programs over the past few months and I have found as a result that in Peakto I have a mix of flat and hierarchal keywords. Is there a way to avoid this issue when using multiple apps? Do I need to forgo hierarchal keywords to avoid duplicate keyword entries? For example, “ducks” as opposed to ANIMALS > birds > ducks. It gets confusing when the keyword entries are mixed.
Thanks mate. Not sure about the keywords as mine are always flat, but I don't see the harm in having the parent entities in any keyword listing. That said the AI search is on the money and I rely on that more than keywords these days. :)
Peak to looks like a good product & I would love to replace the Lightroom image management system. Question: can I edit images on my laptop, while all of my images are located on a desktop upstairs? Also I am “wed” to the print module in LR because I have custom print templates setup to print greeting cards. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks cgb
@@AndyhutchinsonBut it's easy to find the original photo from within Peakto and then just edit it or copy it from there right? I suppose in a way it is advantageous not to edit directly as this would be destructive, however it wouldn't be any problem to have an "open with" option to edit in Photoshop, Lightroom etc etc
Thank you Andy for an interesting review!!!!! I think this might reduce my brain fog and paralysis from a decade of LrC. And now the nightmares when thinking of 'How will I ever control video clips needed for Davinci Resolove'. What I would like to know more about is: Could I had voice keywords or phrases to video clips to save in a folder, then search to find clips of interest, and thrn export into Resolve for editing into a story? 📷 😢😊💜
Nice review, thanks for doing this. As intriguing as this is, LrC is still going to be my DAM, and with the cloud sync, I can always have everything with me all the time, whether it be computer tablet or phone. There is still no other product that can do this. ON1 is almost there and I like the new features coming, but their sync software sucks and does not allow sub-albums.
Did you check out the Peakto search plugin? Might be an option. Failing that I used a third-party plugin to generate keywords using AI for all of my images.
Helps me a lot and is now my new picture hub
Nice one. :)

It doesn't have any editing tools built-in - it simply indexes all of your photos.

Yes - it directly links to Lightroom so you can quickly move from the Peakto serach to the file directly in Lightroom Classic.

It doesn't do audio at the moment. Not sure if it's something they've considered adding in the future. :)

Nice one. Yea, the old cloud sync's always going to be a non-starter for me since I have about 14Tb of images. :)
sorry but after paying the prices of the editors monthly fees this softwares monthly price for what it does is out of my budget.

You may want to pay their one-off price instead. It's also on offer now.
