Software Recommendations

I have some quite dark indoor photos which were taken with low ISO settings, thus having a lot of noise. I am not happy with the results I get within Affinity Photo. The results look too blurry and I think it can be done better. I am quite sure I bought some software which used camera profiles fo...

I don't know what this kind of software is called, so I just describe the condition. Maybe I can call that album or catalogue. Images are stored in the project(or database) file, and can be viewed using same software. Most of the image viewer/manager just look up the file path in the system and s...

You know the challenge: You spend a weekend with your phone or your camera and you took plenty photos. For each location or event, you took several. I call that a "series". Now I want a super-fast and efficient tool for keeping only the best photo out of each "series" of several. It works like th...

I am trying to trichrome film, which is the process of taking 3 different colored images, and then combining them into a final colored image. This is a relatively common practice, but I am running into one really big issue, which is that I cannot get my three images perfectly aligned, due to slig...

I'm looking for a free lightweight image viewer that allows to browse an entire collection of photos (e.g. D:\PHOTOS\ which has thousands of sub or sub-subfolders), without having to click on each subfolder to view them: Picasa is an example of such software, but is sadly discontinued: The viewe...

I'm looking for an app which allows to shoot more photos in a row and then that combines the pictures in one. I tried some apps based on timer-shooting but I would prefer something manual.

I'm looking for the any trusted phone Android app that simply helps to split all photos by swiping into Top100, Top1000, Default and Trash folders or so. Is there any?

I am in the process of scanning and archiving thousands of old family photos, and many of them have a date in one corner left by the original camera, like this: Not all images have it and some do not contrast the background well, but it would save a tremendous amount of time if I could set the m...

I am using Windows. I wish to move a lot of family photos based on the EXIF data, date created or date modified. I came across this software called PhotoMove 2.5. The software moves photos to Y>M>D while I want it to move to Y>M. The paid version the the software does what I want. But I tried to ...

Of course ideally with customizable formats. I'm on Mac so can use either macO...

Recently, I purchased a Forc Digital Picture Frame, 15.6 Inch Digital Photo Frame, 1920x1080. It works well for the intended purpose, but it is tempting to expand its functionality. The device has USB input and output connectors, and WiFi... it would be nice to use it as a display, or even a low-...

I scanned in a ton of old photos. I took care to clean the photos and the scanner as much as I practically could but I still have some faint thin lines on some photos and some have the random spec of dirt. What software would you recommend to BATCH process these photos to remove the lines and spe...

My collection consists of photographs of a mostly white letter paper on black surface. The photos now need to be cropped (about an ...

Sometimes I stumble upon a folder of old photos that don't have EXIF information and therefore have not date/timestamp of when the photos were taken. I can go through them one by one and set an estimated datetime based on my recollection, but this is tedious to do for hundreds of photos. I am loo...

The Google Photos app for Android has a feature where you can view photos on a map. Photos appear as icons on the map, based on where they were taken. Unfortunately the Google Photos website does not offer this feature. I am aware of this question: Online photo SHARING APP to show my album pictur...

I'm looking for a software like PhotoPrism, But I don't want to host it on a machine permanently. I can host it temporarily on machine so that it saves all tags with photos on a external drive.

I was traveling and I want to post 10 pictures from this trip on Instagram. However, these pictures are all of different sizes. Some are landscape, others are portrait, and others are custom.

I have recently downloaded 100's of thousands of of classical paintings, all in the public domain. They are organized very well already, but I want to be able to select individual images and "star" them or mark them as "favorite" pictures. Some things I want to avoid: Making copies of the files...

I'm searching for an app/software to handle stock (in this case, second-hand clothes). I'm a web developer myself and so I thought of developing something by my own, but as usual, this is something that should be done already, adding to the lack of time and the fact that I'm don't have that much ...

I'm trying to create a photo slideshow of my last travel, and I'd like to show on a map where I were. Ideally, by displaying a minimap on each photo of their geolocation (it's in the exif metadata), or by displaying the full map before each group of photos that are roughly taken at the same place...

I'm looking for Linux software that allows tuning the exposure of the RAW image. I want to make an "auto HDR" script that would change the exposure of the photo automatically and then combine the results into one HDR image. I know I can certainly use RawTherapee or Darktable to do this, but I'd s...

I would like to find an unlimited free desktop or web-based tool that can input or upload a folder of JPEG images and remove the backgrounds, creating JPEG output retaining the height/width of the original image. I have found many background removers, such as Adobe's, but none meeting all the req...

I often take pictures of distant buildings with a Pixel6pro Android phone which has a 4x optical zoom (telephoto). The building is typically a bit too high and large to take in a single 4x shot, but fits in 4 shots: Question: What app helps me take the necessary shots, and stitches them into a h...

For quickly posting pics to Facebook, or uploading to cloud sync, I like a function to select a list of photos while viewing each photo on the full screen, and swiping through. Ideally, I'd long-press the photo when I see it, and it places a tick mark which I can also unselect. That's opposed to ...

Today, many phones can process images to imitate the effect of large aperture on professional lens, to blur the background and achieve small depth of field (DOF). My question is: is that algorithm available on some separate software (not the camera app)? The tutorials I have seen includes instruc...

I have photo taken in burst mode. I want to automatically realign them so I can superpose them to compare the change between them. Any non-Apple platform will do

I'm looking for an Android app (must work on Android 10) which supports mass geotagging of photos. I have a GPX file with the GPS log data and a folder on my SD card with the photos imported from my system camera. The app should geotag the photos based on the location in the GPS based on the time...

I am running ArchLinux and Ubuntu on an AMD system. While I really like what Meshroom does, their main 3D reconstruction pipeline requires the use of an NVidea GPU. I found a supposed workaround online but it was really slow and didn't very well compared to running the same example data because s...

Looking for a piece of software that would help digitising a family album of many hundreds of photos. Requirements are as few manual work as possible.

Sometimes I want to print out a batch of photos - all with the same small white frame and the Title or Caption metadata as text underneath the photo.

Free photo software offers the function that will show a RGB code instantly when I mouse over a pixel.

I have a lot of family and travel photos and I'd like to make albums out of them, but to save time I'd like to find a software that prefilters photos using artificial intelligence. For example, often there are groups of very similar photos of the same landscape. I'd like the software to automatic...

I very often need to remove people faces in pictures. Ideally the app would detect and blur faces automatically or semi-automatically, but if no app does that then doing it manually is OK too. Ideally the app would not change the pixels at all in unmodified parts of the picture (lossless JPEG tra...

I'm looking for a photo organizer and viewer that would allow me to publish my photographs on my personal website (running on Linux CentOS Stream 8).
