What is new in Pluck 3.9.8
The photo could show enlarged and off to the right on the Photo page. It's centred and sharp again. ### Download Pick one of the two files below, open it and drag Pluck into Applications. | File | What you get | |---|---| | **Pluck-Studio.dmg** | Pluck Studio: the creative studio. Editing, Photo, the Player for camera raw, Offload, the Logo Animator and Brand Pack, Delivery Check, Search and local AI, plus everything in Pluck. | | **Pluck.dmg** | Pluck: downloading videos and music, the Library, sharing to your phone and converting files. Small and focused. | You can switch between them any time in Settings → General; your downloads, Library and settings stay. The first time you open it, macOS will say it can't verify the developer. Go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security** and click **Open Anyway**. You only need to do this once; later updates install from inside the app. Nothing else to install: Pluck downloads yt-dlp, ffmpeg and Deno on first launch and keeps them up to date. <!-- pluck-editions studio=3.9.8 basic=3.9.8 -->
