Performance Improvements
We’ve significantly improved export speeds, especially for images with multiple people. Here’s what’s changed:
Single-person exports are faster:- On Windows, exporting a photo with one person is now 12% faster.
- On macOS, the same export is 18% faster.
Massive speed boost for multi-person images:- On Windows, exporting a four-person image is now 254% faster, dropping from 31m 46s to just 8m 58s.
- On macOS, the same export is now 199% faster, reducing time from 13m 40s to 4m 34s.
Batch exporting is now significantly faster:- On Windows, exporting five images now takes 220% less time, dropping from 80m 48s to 25m 31s.
- On macOS, the same process is now 240% faster, cutting export time from 23m 50s to 7m 13s.
These improvements mean much faster exports, especially when working with multiple subjects or large projects.
