![]() If you need to catalog and track your AP files within your DAM this isn't the solution for you. I had a bit of disappointment when I realized it doesn't directly support/display AP format in the app, but I actually don't keep my edited work with my source files so this ultimately doesn't affect me. Lots of Search options and refinements (type of content, predominant color, etc). It doesn't do any editing, only the management of the files, building it's database independent of the actual assets, so external disk doesn't need to be mounted to search. I was very pleasantly surprised at how accurate the auto-cataloging is. I suspect it's roots in Windows keeps it from performing better, but that's only a guess.Įxcire has AI for auto-generating tags (lots of pre-configured things like animals, landscape elements), as well as facial recognition than can be tuned. I found ACDSee to actually have a lot of capability as an image editor (not something I need but was willing to have), and very functional as a DAM, the whole interface is sluggish and dated in my tests. While I was impressed with all the capabilities with ACDSee and actually leaning towards it as my solution, I've ultimately decided on Excire. The final decision came down to two apps, ACDSee and Excire. Very interesting, but didn't care for their pricing approach. Indexes external drives and can search when they aren't mounted. ImageRanger - Dedicated more for organizing than editing, includes facial recognition. Phototheca - Alternative to Picasa, with similar functionality. Luminar - Lots of AI to "fix" bodies and faces, but no facial recognition, and the management side was supposed to be great but I wasn't able to find much hard info Facial recognition is apparently weak on the Mac version.Ĭapture One - Editor focused, and no facial recognition Subscription model.Ĭyberlink PhotoDirector 365 - Has similar DAM to Lightroom built in. Supposedly has facial recognition, but not as organized as I'd like.īigMIND - Cloud based storage only. Takes the "put it all in a pile" like Google approach. ![]() Tonfotos - Not enough control in the management area. IMatch - Lots of power and management capability, including facial recognition. May be just the capability in the Editor app, but not very functional from what I was able to discover. Movavi - Mostly editor, there's conflicting information on the site regarding a dedicated photo manager which doesn't actually seem to be accessible. ON1 - Editor with organization tacked on, but no facial recognition NeoFinder - Not full manager, more of a Finder replacementĮagle - Not full manager, but references and browser I looked at and rejected the following apps If you don't have similar goals/needs this may not be useful information for you. Locally stored/accessed, not cloud storage I don't need an built-in editor (since I use AP) To be clear, I have no relationship with any of these developers and am not shilling or getting free copies of anything out of this.Īs a reminder, this is all based on my own needs and parameters I use a 2020 MacBook Air (M1) to do my editing. I have a total of about 30K images going back decades, from low-res JPEGs to RAW taken with a midrange Nikon digital SLR.
