We will continue to develop Excire Foto. This includes functions that allow the management and support selection of photos and also the extension and improvement of the image analysis. There are also simple functions for image editing and enhancement planned.
Unfortunately this is not possible. But this is not due to Excire Foto, but much more to the methods that are currently used for image analysis. These methods were developed with several million photos trained on special hardware.

Unfortunately, such procedures cannot be trained with just a few examples, or if this happens the detection performance is (often) unacceptable.
