Canto 5.6 Release

 

New Features:

 

Metadata Templates

Users can now save time when adding metadata by predefining Keywords, Tags and Custom Fields as a Template. Once a template has been created, use the Metadata Editor to select it and the Template would display during an upload.  You can create up to 25 templates in your account.

 

Saved Queries

Canto will now allow you to save a query, which can be a combination of a search, filter and folder (or album). Queries are saved at the individual user level with a maximum of 5 per user account. 


To save a query, perform a search and/or filter within the desired folder/album in the Main Library or even a Private Portal, and after the results are populated, mouse over the magnifying glass in the Search bar and save the Query by giving it a name.


To run a Saved Query later, mouse over the magnifying glass in the Search bar and you would see the list of saved queries in the dropdown. 


 

Read Text from Images

Taking full advantage of Amazon’s powerful Machine Learning capabilities, Canto will now read text from images and can add them to the Description or Tags field. 


To read the text, simply open Preview of an Image with a Text and click on the AZ icon. You could also do it in bulk by selecting multiple images and then clicking on the AZ icon from the multi-select options toolbar.

Tags exclude common prepositions and conjunctions (and, but, for, nor, etc).

 

Curated View as a Default Option in Main Library 

One of our popular features, the Curated View, can now be set as the default view for all users within the Main Library. 


And, in addition to that, Canto now has included an additional layer of protection to ensure that users don’t lose their well-designed Curated Albums. A new setting called Manage Curated Content has been added to the permissions page, which will prevent users who don’t have the rights to modify an album, from changing the curated Album. 

 


Text-Based Watermarks 

Canto will now support text as Watermarks. In the Digital Rights Management section under Settings, Admins would be able to create, either a Text or an Image based Watermark.
