June 14th, 2023 – Salem, Oregon – As a leading provider of innovative photo editing software apps, we are thrilled to announce ON1 Photo Keyword AI 2023, a new simple-to-use application that makes your photos discoverable by intelligently finding and organizing them using the power of AI (coming next week). Anyone can now search and view their photos with Photo Keyword AI based on photo content without doing the work you would find in most other photo-organizing software.

Many photographers today are faced with manually adding keywords, finding specific photos shot in different years or locations, identifying duplicates, and more. Our new application leverages machine learning and powerful browsing capabilities to address these time-consuming tasks, making rediscovering or searching your photos effortless.

“We all know how tagging, organizing, and even managing photos, in general, can be a pain. Well, with Photo Keyword AI, we can all say goodbye to the time-consuming tasks of manually tagging photos and instead focus on more fun parts like rediscovering their favorite images just by doing simple searches,” said Dan Harlacher, VP of Product at ON1. “Our software combines the power of machine learning with a full-featured browser, delivering an intuitive solution that really improves the way photographers can search their photo libraries.”

To start, ON1 Photo Keyword AI’s automatic keyword generation feature will allow users to bid farewell to the tedious task of manually tagging photos. The advanced machine learning algorithms scan each image, recognizing over 800 objects and photo elements. Additionally, related keywords are added automatically, ensuring more accurate search results. This is accomplished locally, using on-device intelligence, without uploading your photos to the cloud.

The software’s capabilities go far beyond keyword tagging, though. ON1 Photo Keyword AI can also detect faces, estimate age and gender, determine location using GPS metadata, and classify photos based on photographic traits such as key, contrast, vividness, focal length, and predominant color. These features enable photographers to quickly find the images they need in their extensive photo collections.

One of the highlights of ON1 Photo Keyword AI is its lightning-fast browser, empowering users to view, organize, and cull their photos seamlessly. The complete metadata support, including nested keywords, descriptions, EXIF, IPTC, and XMP support, ensures all relevant information is captured and accessible in the app. Importing photos from memory cards, cameras, or phones is a breeze with the built-in import dialog, allowing users to select the desired images, designate their destination, rename files, and add metadata simultaneously. ON1 Photo Keyword AI is built on a robust database offering unparalleled speed and performance. It lets users view photos faster, search entire collections, and create albums of their favorite work.

ON1 Photo Keyword AI supports many file formats, including raw photos from over 800 cameras and PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG, HEVC, and most video files. The software’s versatile search functionality allows users to type a word or phrase to search any metadata field. Users can also search by star and color rating, number of faces, age and gender, file type, camera settings, size, and more. The advanced search capabilities will enable users to have simultaneous searches across multiple fields, with the ability to save searches for future use.

Finding duplicates and similar photos is effortless with ON1 Photo Keyword AI, freeing up valuable storage space. The software’s batch-processing feature empowers users to export copies of their photos in different formats, customize file naming conventions, control metadata, and even add watermarks. For photographers seeking to showcase their work, ON1 Photo Keyword AI provides a fully color-managed workflow for printing photos, including the ability to preview them with soft proofing, print packages, and contact sheets.

ON1 Photo Keyword AI differentiates itself from its competitors through its unique features. Unlike integrated platforms such as Apple Photos, Google Photos, and Adobe Lightroom Cloud, ON1 offers a browse-first approach that allows photographers to organize their photos however they prefer, without extensive cataloging or uploading to the cloud. The built-in import dialog simplifies downloading photos from various devices. At the same time, the automatic XMP embedding ensures all automatic keywords and metadata are viewable and searchable in other applications like Adobe Lightroom Classic or Capture One.

Fujifilm GFX100/GFX50S NP-T125 Battery Discontinued‽


Asobinet is reporting that the Fujifilm GFX NP-T125 battery is discontinued, which would be very bad news for Fujifilm GFX100 and Fujifilm GFX50S owners. I hope it is not true
but at this time Amazon has a few third-party sellers B&H Photo has a used battery and Adorama has the battery listed as coming soon.

[Manufacturer’s inventory limit]
* Only a few manufacturers and over-the-counter stocks are left. Please forgive me when it is sold out at the time of ordering.

Thankfully there are some third-party options for now and if I were to pick one third-party battery to stock up on it would be the Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack), but there are only 6 in stock.

Fujifilm Introduces INSTAX SQUARE SQ40 Instant Camera

VALHALLA, N.Y., June 14, 2023 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Imaging Division, announced today the launch of its new INSTAX SQUARE SQ40TM instant camera (SQ40), a new addition to the INSTAX SQUARE lineup of instant cameras. Fujifilm has also introduced a new INSTAX SQUARE instant film variety, “Sunset”, featuring a variety of film borders with soft color gradients designed to be reminiscent of a serene, peaceful sunset.

“Consumers love our INSTAX MINI 40 instant camera, so expanding the line to also include a SQUARE format option just made sense,” said Bing Liem, division president, Imaging Division, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “Not only can INSTAX fans now have another instant camera with a classic look, but they can also now enjoy the SQ40’s large, square image area.”

Key SQ40 features include:

Automatic Exposure function
The SQ40’s Automatic Exposure function automatically senses the level of ambient light when the shutter button is pressed, optimizing the shutter speed and flash output according to the scene. It allows even novice INSTAX instant camera users to take photos that are automatically adjusted regardless of interior or exterior conditions, producing high-quality photos on-the-spot.

Selfie Mode for quicker and easier selfies
Users can activate the Selfie Mode, perfect for taking selfies and close-up shots, by simply twisting the lens after powering the SQ40 on. Using this mode to take amazing selfies and close-ups is incredibly easy and convenient.

New Film Variety Introduced:
Also accompanying the launch of SQ40 is Fujifilm’s launch of the new INSTAX SQUARE “Sunset” variety of instant film. The design of this new square format instant film is inspired by the gentle gradation of the colors in the sky during a sunset. As with all INSTAX SQUARE instant film varieties, Sunset will be available in a single pack with 10 exposures.

Images can also be printed from a paired Smartphone camera roll using the INSTAX MINI EVO Smartphone App.
