![]() Our AI strategy will always put the photographer first and I want to make that clear. These new AI-based technologies are for helping you save time and give you superior results, not to replace YOU, the photographer. We are using AI to solve real-world problems photographers face today in their post-production workflows. As exciting as AI is, it also brings a lot of unknowns to the photography space. Most recently, our noise reduction, upscaling, sharpening, organizing, and masking breakthroughs are the beginning of a new chapter for ON1. It is so satisfying to look back at the remarkable progress and innovation the ON1 team has built into our software over the years. From cameras to software, everything has seen change. The photo industry has seen some big changes over the last 18 years. In June of 2005, we embarked on the ON1 journey with a vision of providing photographers like yourself more time behind the camera and less time editing the photos you cherish. It brings me great joy to express my gratitude for your continued support of the ON1 photography community over the last 18 years. I generally find it more effective to track down duplicate images in Lightroom Classic based on capture time or other metadata values, rather than trying to use the AI image search for this purpose.Hello everyone, Craig Keudell, CEO of ON1 here. Adding to the challenge, before you could use the AI search in the cloud-based version of Lightroom you would need to synchronize the source photos from Lightroom Classic, which could require considerable time depending on how many images are in your catalog and how fast your internet connection is. If you located duplicate images using Lightroom it would be somewhat cumbersome to then delete the original images from a Lightroom Classic catalog. Using the cloud-based version of Lightroom to identify duplicates from a Lightroom Classic catalog would also be problematic, since the approach to image storage for these two versions of Lightroom are so different. However, in my experience the results are not so good as to be very helpful for locating duplicate images. However, other times the results are completely off, such as when a rock formation is somehow interpreted as being a person in the photo.īecause this AI search is cloud-based and is being updated based on an ever-growing library of photos being evaluated, the results will certainly improve over time. Sometimes the search results are at least related, such as when images of helicopters are included in results when you search for “airplane”. In addition, I’ve found that there are a very large number of false positive results in search results. Based on variations in camera angle, lighting conditions, and more, many images that contain a subject you’re searching for will be excluded from search results. ![]() To begin with, in my experience the AI search results are never all-inclusive when searching for a given subject. ![]() While this can be a helpful feature when attempting to locate an image, I don’t consider it a great feature when trying to locate duplicate images. ![]() More Detail: The cloud-based version of Lightroom includes an AI-based search feature that makes it possible to locate images based on the subject matter of photos even if you had never added keywords or otherwise identified the subjects that appear in your images. In addition, a workflow that involves both Lightroom Classic and the cloud-based version of Lightroom can be somewhat problematic. Tim’s Quick Answer: While the AI (artificial intelligence) search feature in the cloud-based version of Lightroom is impressive, it isn’t perfect for tracking down duplicate photos. Today’s Question: Would it be worthwhile to upload the scans and derivative files to Lightroom (cloud) to be able to take advantage of its AI search capabilities based on subject to weed out duplicates? Or would this end up creating confusion between the two Lightroom versions? ![]()
