Show HN: How to get control of your digital photo collection (photo-sorter.appspot.com) 3 points by vamonos 13y ago ↗ HN
[–] nevster 13y ago ↗ I think there's already a Show Duplicate files in Picasa. What does this do that it doesn't? Does iPhoto have a duplicate finder? [–] vamonos 13y ago ↗ Its not about duplicate photos - almost every photo manager can do that.But consider this - I've got over 25000 unique photos, never really been looked at or sorted. Nothing ever deleted.I could use Picasa to go through them individually and tag/upload/share the good ones, but I'd have to remember where I was up to.I could set up tags Good & Bad and tag them all like that and if Picasa could show me all the untagged photos that would help.What PhotoSorter does is simply this - step through each photo one at a time and flag it as a keeper or not.You can exit and resume from where you left of at any time, and export the flagged photos at any time.So I'm using it as a convenient way to reduce my crazy photo collection to one that is worthy of loading in Picasa and manage/share there.
