ImageBrowserProBeta user guide

Get started

Install and activate ImageBrowserPro

Use this guide to install the invited macOS beta and reach the workspace. Have the installer supplied for your Mac, your invitation name and email, your individual license key, and an internet connection ready. Optional tools depend on the edition and plugins included with your invitation.

Install and open

  1. Check whether your Mac uses Apple Silicon or Intel in Apple menu → About This Mac. Download the matching ARM64 or x64 installer provided with your invitation.
  2. Open the downloaded .dmg. Read the included READ ME – Beta Tester.md before continuing.
  3. Drag ImageBrowserPro.app to Applications. Open the app from Applications, not from inside the disk image. Eject the installer disk image afterward.
  4. If macOS blocks the invited build, close the warning and use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway when available. Confirm the app is the expected invited download. Do not disable Gatekeeper for the computer.
  5. In the app, read the beta agreement, enter the requested name, and accept only if you agree. The documentation cannot accept it for you.
  6. Enter the name and email associated with your invitation and the exact beta license key. Complete activation and wait for the workspace.

Options and saved information

Activation requires the real invitation license; this controlled beta is not an unlocked demo or guest build. A key can expire, be revoked, reach its device limit, or belong to another app. Optional diagnostic consent is separate from agreement acceptance. Application preferences and local workspace records are retained on this computer; installing the app does not copy your photo archive into it.

Check that it worked

Open Settings → License and check the reported license state. Record the app version when reporting problems. Start with a small copied practice folder and follow Open your first folder, or Ingest a camera card.

If something goes wrong

For activation errors, check the exact invitation identity, internet access, system date, and the key supplied by your contact. Report the displayed error without posting your license key publicly. Do not delete application-support folders to solve a routine activation problem: they may hold sets and settings. If the installer does not match your Mac, obtain the matching installer rather than renaming it. See Troubleshooting and Updates.
