Newsticker: Excire Search and OMDS Cashback

Excire Search 2024, the Lightroom plugin, has been available since today. This means that AI free text search is now also available in Lightroom. (Of course, I found the image above with Excire Photo – also with free text search. ) Newsletter recipients have a discount code in their newsletter with which Excire Search 2 customers can get the new version for 99 euros. In addition to the AI search, there’s also the aesthetics rating. (You don’t have to. You can have fun with it for half a day, but then it’s enough….) Oh yes, the plugin requires Lightroom Classic.

OMDS. The year is still young and OMDS has already been forced to announce on Facebook that they are having a few problems with the cashback. Normally, this can take a month (yes, the reduction in bureaucracy. If fast, flexible “start-ups” can’t get their act together…..) And if it takes longer, you should contact camera.support ät om-digitalsolutions.com with the exact information.

And cashback for the LS-P5 is currently only available by e-mail to camera.support. With all the necessary documents. And invoice. Because cashback is not possible via the normal form. And if it doesn’t work, see above.

But OMDS is “continuously working on” optimizing their customer service according to the wishes of Facebook users. The post on FB got five (!) thumbs up. And a comment in which someone complains that they have not received a reply to two emails about a repair.

Perhaps the people at OMDS should get together with the Pattern Recognition Company in Lübeck. They also advise companies on the use of AI and program something for them. “Industry, medicine and photography”. They also do insect and facial recognition. And, above all, they get their software (Excire) to run….
