Questions and Feature requests

[N Kar]

Hello,

To follow up on AI update in new version, the tag is hit and miss. More
focus on identifying bird for example rather than what type of bird will
help in my opinion.

As for Image Quality Scanner, I find Aesthetic content detection is of
little use. I prefer to use Basic Factors with only Exposure; other three
factors should be even minor issues for a modern camera with acceptable
setting. This is really tough idea to implement, and I will get back with
some personal thoughts.

Sincerely,
NK.
