Clarifai-Powered Adobe Lightroom Plugin Automatically Sorts Your Photos by Image Quality

Table of Contents:

With our recently released Landscape Quality and Portrait Quality models, we built an Adobe Lightroom plugin for photographers to use to automatically sort high quality photos from low quality ones. This helps make the post-processing workflow more efficient by filtering out blurry, over-exposed, and otherwise low quality images!

Digital photography advances have made it easier and easier to take more and more photos. On the one hand, this helps photographers capture the perfect shot. On the other, it means there are a whole lot more bad photos to sort through, too. We built an Adobe Lightroom plugin from our recently released Photography Quality visual recognition model that will automatically sort your high quality photos from your low quality ones and save you tons of time and effort in selecting the best pics for post-processing!
