Reliability: 1.0

Mostly very reliable except for the one thing I really need it to do. The < > buttons for advancing are greyed out and don't function. Intel Mac 10.15.7

not ready for use. When doing basic editing (contrast, exposure, sharpness), the editing tool blocks the image (despite being quite small), and not moveable. I'd say, the application is not useable yet.
