Open a shoot and find your way around
Choose a folder of photos, use the grid's filters and know what the counters mean.
Open a folder
Click Select Folder and choose the folder with your photos. Optelect reads JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF and BMP files (RAW files aren't supported).

The grid
- Filters at the top: All, Unreviewed (not decided yet), Liked, Selected and Needs a look (photos with closed eyes, soft focus or bad exposure).
- Sort on the right: by file name or other orders.
- The checkbox on each photo adds it to your final selection (see Liked, disliked and selected).
- The status bar at the bottom counts Active, Total, Liked, Disliked, Not best and Selected photos.
The analysis runs on your computer
As soon as a folder opens, Optelect checks every photo for sharpness, exposure, faces and closed eyes in the background. You can keep working meanwhile. Nothing is uploaded: your photos never leave your computer.
Your decisions are saved as you go
Every like, reject and note is saved automatically in the folder itself, so you can close the app and continue later.
