A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Find all the low-value photos in my collection (alien.top)

As a family photographer, I have amassed a large collection of 100,000+ and it's getting harder and harder to maintain backups and feels like I'm hitting scale limits within Lightroom. I'm certain that 20%+ of my photos could be deleted and never missed. Short of going through them 1 by 1, there has to be an app that can help me find all the crap : blurry, eyes closed, poor exposure, etc.

Any ideas?

How would an AI know what you were focusing on? There might be a number of shots where the majority of people are slightly out of focus of have closed eyes but aren't the subject of the shot along with the ones that the subject is blurred.

Let's say you were taking photos of the family dog, and the people closer/farther away in the shot ended up out of focus, but the dog comes out great. How is the AI going to grade those shots? Of if you are taking a scenic shot of a building or vista and there's people in the scene?
