You can go ahead and take the application for a spin as soon as setup is over. The set of features is wrapped around a classic window frame with regular elements, but this is only to keep accommodation simple, because there is quite the variety of tools to work with.

On top of that the application makes it possible to customize your search parameters. Defining new filters lets you create a custom list of target items for the search engine, such as capture time, filename, size, time, keywords, contains face, geotags, orientation, resolution contrast, average brightness, metadata, as well as rating.

In fact, the application is capable of putting all picture details to good use, including GPS coordinates, metadata, portraits and selfies, and camera settings. You can also choose to exception filters to narrow down results.

Custom folders and collections can be created, with options to store your favorite pictures there. They don’t physically have to be moved, but the application does offer you the possibility to bring up source locations, move, or just copy files to locations of interest.

Bottom line is that pictures are such a common resource that you need a proper image finding tool, and ImageRanger is sure to satisfy most of your needs.
