Title: Tools or techniques for checking image defects?
Post by: modellocate on September 05, 2007, 22:22

Anyone know of automated ways to check an image for defects? I know IS has at least once told me how to check an image in Photoshop for a specific defect... I wonder if they have tools or suite of tests that trigger red flags and if something similar is available to us.

"I wonder if they have tools or suite of tests "

YES! There is a a program for automatically checking for defects in any photographic image!
This program does an amazing array of automatic check points on any image:
1. It checks to make sure your image is properly framed.
2. Checks on contrast.
3. Checks color.
4. Checks for noise.
5. Determines if the image is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
6. Determines if the image is properly focused.
7. Evaluates the image for saleability of any stock website.
8. Automatically spots jpg artifacts.
9. Determines and evaluates proper lighting. (blown highlights and shadows)
10. Evaluates the image for proper key wording and description.

RJMiz,

I'm baffled that a program can do all that!  I'm going to check it.
