Hello,
thanks for the good work. Will there be updates to batch processing and CLI features in one of the next releases? (I am hoping for that every release, but the focus seems to be on smaller bugfixes, cameras and models).
Batch and CLI in their current form are not usable in a professional way when working with hundreds or thousands of images.
-
One cannot set what models to use for Batch Processing Autopilot (or alternatively disable specific models). Most of the time when batch processing one knows exactly what kind of images are going to be processed (computer generated, photos, and so on - but there is no way to specify that; it just autopilots over it…)
See Additional preferences for autopilot and Is there a way to disable models? -
One also cannot really batch process using the “Apply to all” feature, as it doesn’t only copy the selected models, but also the image specific values it detected for the first image to all other images (instead of re-detecting those values like sharpen strength / sharpen clarity / enhance suppression noise, … for every image)
See How can I apply current settings to all loaded images without their values? -
Since “Apply to All” is not really usable, one has to click on every image manually and change the models. But the film strip UI is not build for that in any way (if you have hundreds or thousands of images you can forget it). Gigapixel had a much better UI for batch operations and multi-value changes:
See Port the spreadsheet style interface that gigapixel had as a UI option -
The CLI is unusable as an alternative, as it does not allow specifying models or options.
Instead it will autopilot every image and then you’re no better off than having used the UI.
See Photo AI CLI - allow arguments to influence settings
Will any of these issues be addressed in one of the (near) future releases?
Thanks in advance!
