United StatesPhotoStatistica lets you stand back and see the big picture. PhotoStatistica's innovative tools gives you the ability to draw powerful insights about your photography by visualising EXIF data across large libraries of your images. PhotoStatistica is the perfect tool to help you buy the right piece of equipment, think about how to improve your photography, research artists, run a competition or manage a team of photographers. PhotoStatistica quickly scans in EXIF data from directories of images, then gives you a powerful set of charting, discovery and filter tools to analyse the images and help answer questions such as: - What prime lens should I buy, based on the most common focal length I used on a zoom lens over the last year? - Is it worth investing in a high ISO camera? - What gear do I most use on my trips? - Which lens do I get the highest rated images with? Or if you are an archivist, researcher or manage a team of photographers, PhotoStatistica can help answer questions such as: - What was the artist's most prolific period? - What was the photographer's technical approach? - Which camera systems does the photographer use the most? You can save multiple analyses, refresh the results as more photos are added to your sources, before exporting the raw data as CSV, delivering the results as CSV or PNG files, or sharing your insights via Mail or Messages. PhotoStatistica is an essential piece of software that no photographer should be without in their digital camera bag! What's more PhotoStatistica is super easy to use: 1.PhotoStatistica rapidly scans in EXIF data from a number of sources and cameras: - Include images from any directory, or nested set of directories - PhotoStatistica supports all image formats / cameras that Apple support. - In addition PhotoStatistica can work with compressed RAF files, for those FujiFilm cameras for which Apple provides non-compressed support. - Supports XMP sidecar files 2. Use a powerful set of filters to focus your research - all imported EXIF dimensions are available to filter against, with full set of logic operators 3. Visualise your photos using histograms, pie charts, pivot tables, pivot charts and a drill down discovery tool to easily analyse over 50 dimensions. 4. Drill down into image sub-sets and inspect individual images and their EXIF data 5. Export data and results in CSV format, or export your charts as PNGs 6. Save all your analyses and easily refresh your results as you add more images to your archives Other features include: - Dark mode support - Banded dimensions, to help work with range of values - Powerful date filter tools: for example select all photos taken on any Tuesday - Drill down data discovery tool
Wow!
Was curious about what focal length I use most often. Did a google search for an app and found this. No trial version available but thought I could eat the $5 if it was a bust. Just did some initial tests and two things are immediately apparent. (A) This thing is fast and flexible. And (B) At $5 for a Mac OS based app, this is a steal! Was able to scan my entire Apple Photos library (>25k Images) in no time at all and do an analysis. Plus I was able to change the parameters & thresholds of the analysis quickly. It also has the flexibility to look at folders of images as well. Not certain how I often I will use, but for the info I initially needed Very impressive. Documentation is a little weak but the get started video is all you really need.
United StatesUseful, excellent support
The general purpose of the app is very useful. Most photo library programs are bulky, slow, and inefficient. This program is simple in all the correct ways. It gives you quick insights into a library of photos which can be used in interesting ways. Support is great. A feature request I made was implemented super fast.
United StatesInsightful
I’ve just scratched the surface of this app at this point but can safely say that it will provide tremendous insight into your photography. Like everything else, practice and self-evaluation is what will make you more and more proficient and skilled. Part of that analysis includes the technical aspects of how you took a particular picture as well as composition, lighting, etc.. How could I improve on the results? Maybe a faster shutter speed, etc. Is there a pattern to what is working and what isn’t? This tool brings the specifics to light in a simple visual way yet allows you to drill down for a deeper look. The training tutorials are short, sweet and topic driven. I’ve had the occasion to request support and was impressed at how quickly my question was answered. This is a “must have” tool in my bag!
United StatesGreat way to explore equipment use
This app works well and is easy to use. It scanned a folder with approx 16k images in just a few minutes. The data are placed in a database that can be saved for future use … no need to scan the same folder again. If you rescan the folder, the app is smart enough to only scan photos that have changed since the last scanning. Once scanned, working with the data is very fast. Graphs are created almost instanteously. Filters are applied with immediate changes to the displayed graph. The developer is very responsive. I heard back within a few hours when I sent in a "wish list" for additional filter options (e.g. filter by keywords). I grabbed this app because I was curious about the focal lengths I tend to use with my 24-70mm lens on my fairly new full frame kit. I was thinking I should add a 70-200mm lens because I had this sense that I frequently wanted to zoom in more than my 24-70mm allowed. Sure enough, with just a couple of clicks and a few filters (narrow the 16k down to the specific lens and raw images), I could easily see that I have a large number of photos at 70mm. I was surprised to find a large number at 24mm as well (I didn't have a sense of wanting/needing a wide angle lens). Then I asked the app to filter the data to a Micro Four Thirds kit with a 14-140 lens that I have used a lot in the past. It immediately displayed a breakdown of the focal lengths (as FF equivalent values), which clearly showed I shoot frequently in the 70-200mm range when I have it available. Exploring the data has been interesting. I feel more confident that I would put a 70-200mm lens to good use. It also has me thinking about a wide angle lens now.
United Stateslearn more about your own photography habits
Great app for understanding what settings you use on your camera(s). Gee, I didn't realize that half my photos were taken using ISO 200-400 settings, or that I really don't shoot as much telephoto as I thought I did. This is a great (and cheap!) companion app for whatever you use to organize your photos (Adobe Lightroom, Bridge, Luminar, etc). While those apps let you filter and search in your photos to find individual photos, this one is showing you overall stats/charts of your photo characteristics across all your photos. Feeds my inner data geek! Especially nice for us propellerheads: the EXIF data is exportable in both csv, and if you save photostats, as JSON, which is great if you want to use the data from photostatistica in your own geeky data science fun. Lastly, I reported a bug to the developer yesterday.... and it was fixed within 24 hours! Insanely responsive developer.
United StatesVery good
New application and the authors are very responsive to any problems. We're using it regularly to show shooting patterns to improve workflows. (Could do with being a little more expensive to be honest. It's current price is a bit of a bargain.)
United Statesstruggling
I am struggling to get any data out of this app. I am attempting to read mulitple types of raw files from Canon, Nikon and Fuji and keep getting results that show no data. UPDATE - found out that this app is not reading data from external drives. If I move the folder of images to my desktop it works as advertised UPDATE #2 - the developer has been responsive and has pushed multiple updates out since my intial review and has fixed all issues that I originally had with the software.
