Photoscope - Select the Best

I just opened it for the first time. I don’t have much experience yet. But my first look is positive.

In principle, this app brings back a functionality of the wonderful Aperture app that allowed you to compare similar photos and intelligently select which one to keep from a batch. Unfortunately, as it is currently implemented, it really does not match my needs for this process. The current workflow is just to move from one picture to the next and select when you find one you think you like more. But for this functionality to be useful, I really need to be able to go back-and-forth and compare any two arbitrary pictures to one another rather than just flick through everything once and be done. Also, the idea of keeping just one out of the set isn’t very helpful. I think if this used the film strip more interactively and allowed you to select pics and comparisons directly from it, then it might start to be really useful. Also, I think it very much needs to have a built-in assumption that you may choose to keep any number of pictures from the sequence, not just one

It’s a great app, and now I can use it on my iPad. Very much helps me comb through the many near-photos in the library. An endless process. One thing I wish was an ability to remove items from an auto-group, or “ignore” a group. Sometimes the photos, although taken in rapid succession, are quite different and I don’t want to choose.

The best way to choose the best photo is to switch between two photos to immediately see the differences between them. And when you put two almost identical photos in front of each other, it turns into a game of finding a million subtle differences — this is the most stupid and inconvenient way. It's strange that he came to someone's mind. And the application does not analyze your library and does not offer to process similar photos — you will have to find and mark them to add manually. But it is not worth doing this, since the method of choice is stupid and inconvenient.

Great app which is terribly needed! One feature request would be to add an ignore rest button. If you’ve already found the best pick, you should not need to go through all the other candidates to reach the delete step.

It’s delightfully great for culling. Automatically detects clusters of photos, and lets you select the best of the bunch. But what if you want to keep more than one? Simple, just skip. Unfortunately, skip doesn’t have a speedy button at the bottom. It’s hidden under the triple dots. And that’s the thing that would bump this to five stars: embrace a flag-skip-reject cull.

Thanks for the quick fixes! After ignore stack is added I’ll go up to 5.

I use a mirrorless camera and will sometimes take a *few* too many photos at the same time, often trying to capture just the right shot. I’ve looked all over for an app that directly integrates with my Photos Library and allows me to pick the best photo(s) from a bunch. This app does the job really well, and I am excited to see how the app gets even better with further development. Mac and iPad apps would be amazing; I hope they are on the road map!

I have looked for a tool for comparing and removing duplicate photos for years. Nothing else compares at all.

I have been taking thousands of photos for years. My friends and family have always complained that I never share them. Well, 75% of them are awful and I have had the intention that one day, I’d go through them, make albums and ‘clean’ out the duplicates, blurry and poorly lit images. I never had. Photoscope is changing that! I have started with a trip I took 10 years ago with my elderly parents. It’s ten years later, but this Mother’s Day, my mom is going to get to relive some precious memories. Thank you, Photoscope!
