What’s new in Ingest

Ingest 0.8.6

A clearer first import and faster Photos browsing

  • A five-step walkthrough uses real app screenshots to explain inserting a card, tagging keepers, checking focus, copying with an optional backup, and handing off to Lightroom Classic. It appears once for new users; reopen it from Help or type “walkthrough” in ⌘K.
  • Settings links work directly from the walkthrough, shortcuts reflect your keymap, and the Command Palette is one action away on every step. Advanced workspace setup comes last. An optional practice guide offers hands-on lessons without changing your photos.
  • Enable Apple Photos for individual workspaces in addition to the global switch. Keep it available for Personal and hidden for Real Estate, for example.
  • Fixes excessive work when opening and displaying large Apple Photos collections. Source records and grid groups are reused, grouping runs off the main thread, and obsolete work is canceled. Opening Photos no longer starts whole-library image analysis; Analyze is an explicit action.
  • Help commands remain available during loading and ordinary field editing. Native menus follow the chosen app appearance, and Edge and Detail overlays are available during Ingest review.

Follow the new Getting Started guide.
