Sorty

Sorty is a friendly, yet powerful photo organizing application, which allows you to process hundreds or even thousands of pictures per hour. The tool is particularly suitable for photographers, graphic artists or other users who work with large batches of images on a daily basis. The tool can help you sort and tag thousands of pictures in one hour.

Sorty is a reliable, Java-based tool, designed to help you reduce the time spent browsing through thousands of pictures, organizing and sorting them. The program features useful functions for picture viewing and tagging, also enabling you to work with keyboard shortcuts.

For a photographer who shoots thousands of frames at an event or an animated movie creator, for instance, the speed in sorting images is of the essence. Sorty enables you to view images in a quick succession and organize them into separate folders, by assigning certain tags to them.

Sorty can easily manage the pictures from the selected source folder, by moving them into newly created sub-directories. Each sub-folder corresponds to a particular tag, therefore, you may easily move pictures by assigning them the proper tag. Moreover, a picture can receive one or several tags, in which case it is automatically duplicated and moved according to the rule.

The picture slideshow can be rendered in chronological or alphabetical order, considering your preferences. The program displays the tags for the current pictures, as well as previously processed images. The keyboard shortcuts allow you to add or remove the selected tag, mark the picture, repeat tagging, delete picture or browse through the images.

Sorty can calculate the time remaining in the photo organizing process, based on the speed of your work. The progress bar also indicates the evolution of your task. Sorty can detect bursts of photos and automatically tag them with the same name as the first one. You may easily move back and forth between the pictures in the selected folder.
