Installation#
FLOGVIT.photosuite is in public beta: it is free with a FLOGVIT account. See License & Beta for how the beta license works.
- Log in at your dashboard with your FLOGVIT account (or create one) and choose Get beta license.
- Download the app for your computer under Downloads on the same page.
- macOS: open the
.dmgand drag FLOGVIT.photosuite to Applications. Windows: run the.msiinstaller. - Start the app and choose Sign in with FLOGVIT. Your browser opens; pick the license for this computer, and the app is ready.
The first start opens Downloads: the models and data some features use (the masks for subject, sky, objects, people and landscape, search by content, detection and place names), with their sizes. Tick what you want now, before going out without a network for instance, or close it: each one also downloads by itself the first time its feature is used. Help → Downloads… opens it again, and it opens by itself after an update that brings a new one.
