Weaknesses / Known Issues in this version

• Performance – Can feel sluggish on older hardware, especially with multiple layers or large RAW files. Catalog browsing is slower than Lightroom.
• Stability – 1.20.x versions improved stability, but occasional crashes or freezes still occur (less so than 1.0–1.10, but not perfect).
• Limited DAM (Digital Asset Management) – The “Catalog” feature is basic. Don’t expect Lightroom-level keywording, smart collections, or advanced search.
• Export Oddities – Some users report color shifts when exporting to JPEG/sRGB (though less common in 1.20).
• No iPad/Android version – Desktop only (Windows/Mac).
