By images in demo i guess you already know it will be extremely useful for event wedding or booths. Good luck! Always a pleasure to see people creating something new :)

Thanks! And yeah, our primary audience would be wedding and event photographers but I thought that it would be a good idea to share it here to see what other professionals have to think about it too!
And I agree with the app looking like Adobe's (I guess that's because of the logo haha!). But we're currently reworking the logo and that should help set it apart.

I'm in a very bad time. But thank you very much for sharing. I save your nick, I save the link to this thread and as soon as I have time I look at the topic. I do not think it works for me, I am an expert at being a novice.
I only have bad files and finding something decent is the hard part. Sharing your work seems a big thing to me. Sounds like a good initiative.
Thanks and take care of yourself too.
I could not help but enter the forum to congratulate you.

I'm glad that this is something that you might be interested in!
If you want to use the app once it's out feel free to share your email via a direct message or by signing up on the website.
Thanks again and have a wonderful week!

I'm currently working on a desktop app that can identify and cull potentially bad photos from a photoshoot and help in shortening the image culling process.
It has built-in integration with Adobe Lightroom and instead of deleting any of the images, it simply star rates and color codes them.
More information about the app and a video walkthrough can be seen here: https://www.aftershoot.co/coming-soon
I wanted to hear the community's thoughts on this and know if this is something that you might be willing to incorporate into your workflow.
The software is still in active development and we are planning on a beta release this July that would be free for all.
If anyone's interested you can let me know via a post here or by emailing me and I'll be happy to share the app with you.
Thanks!

a) I'd have to say it depends on the quality of the algorithm. I'd have to test it out myself to see how good it was.
b) While I focus mainly on video (I do some photos as well) - when I do photos - I tend to review the photos right on the spot (in the back viewfinder/zoom) - and delete ones I don't like, and/or retake shots I think retaking.
c) I'm not sure how much time it would really save me. (Might be good for some other photographers). But I have a very high end graphics system (actually very top tier/'lambourghini' system of computer systems) - so reviewing videos/graphics/etc is a fast process for me. It would literally take me about 1-5 seconds (with the current system I have set up) - to decide if I wanted to use an image or not. If I was taking 1000's of images on a weekly basis - maybe it would be something I'd find useful. As it is - I maybe only do 300-500/month, so I'm not sure how useful that would be to me.
Now - one thing that WOULD be useful - is software that identified WHAT kind of picture I have - titled it accordingly, & applied accurate keywords. Now I know (personally) it would be very difficult to write that kind of software - but that is actually something I would find useful. While I could (& should) outsource that - I haven't - so I know that is something that would definitely save me time.

Hm, that's an interesting perspective.
About the software that could identify your images; how would you like it to behave? For instance, if it is an image of a person using a phone, should it detect the important objects (Person and phone) and mark them in the image?
