picu Pro 1.5.0 Enables Star Rating & Filtering

Marketing image for picu Pro v1.5+ software feature announcement. Shows 'Introducing Star Ratings' with text explaining clients can sort, filter and cull images using star ratings.

Introducing star rating and filtering.

We’re excited to announce a new feature that will provide your clients with a more flexible and nuanced selection process: Star ratings will allow for a multi-step, graded selection approach, giving your clients more control over image curation.

This is especially beneficial for collections with a large number of images, enabling clients to systematically narrow down and fine-tune their selections.

For example: Consider a progressive rating system where the client assigns one star in the first round, two stars in the second, and so on – before making the final selection.

We hope you find this new feature as useful as we do!
