Expected Speed

ai crop takes a fraction of a second to load the artificial intelligence model that underpins its functionality that means cropping a single image can take one or two seconds however, when running in batches of more than 5 images performance should be in the ballpark of 2 to 4 images per second on recent macs the speed of ai crop for larger batches depends on two main factors computer speed ai crop uses gpu, cpu, disk speed, and the dedicated ml core of m processors a souped up m3 macbookpro will outperform a low end m1 mac mini preview size this can be adjusted in \[capture one > preferences > image > preview size] ai crop will run faster if the preview size is smaller however, capture one needs a large enough preview to fill your monitor with the image; otherwise it will have to draw the image from the raw file therefore use the lowest resolution preview appropriate for your monitor see capture one support website for more detail for reference, here are the results of a speed test conducted on ai crop in dt nexus beta 0 5 0, on a macbookpro m3 max with 36 gb of ram 600 images 1024px preview size 180 seconds \= 3 33 images/sec ai crop processing speed 600 images 3840px preview size 296 seconds \= 2 03 images/sec ai crop processing speed 600 images 5120px preview size 336 seconds \= 1 78 images/sec ai crop processing speed we'd love to hear about your performance – please email doug peterson with your preview size, computer specs, and ai crop per image speed
