PictureFilter

PictureFilter is a software program whose purpose is to aid individuals in viewing pictures, finding similar ones on the drive and inputting geo tagging details to them.

The installation process you are required to go through does not bring any surprises and does not last longer than a few moments. Once you wrap it up, you are greeted by a pretty well-organized and clean interface, as it is comprised of several buttons, a few tabs which enable you to view all sorts of different information and a pane which displays a selected photo.

Although there are no Help contents incorporated, both novice and power users can work with PictureFilter, due to its simplistic and user-friendly build.

This tool supports a limited range of image formats, including PNG, JPG, BMP and GIF, which can only be uploaded with the help of the integrated file browser, as the “drag and drop” feature is not integrated. Nonetheless, you can view all uploaded pictures as a folder structure or as a list, and sort them according to file name, size, time and objects detected (the latter process might take a while).

In addition to that, you should know you can find similar pictures to the one you are currently looking at, according to name, size, date and histogram. It is possible to copy all of them to a different folder with just a click of the button, as well as resize them and save them to another location.

Metadata pertaining to all uploaded items can be viewed in another window, while you can also clear the geo tag information and append new GPS points using GPX files.

To conclude, PictureFilter is a pretty efficient and reliable piece of software when it comes to viewing and managing images. The response time is good, the interface is accessible to all users and there are sufficient options incorporated to keep you busy for quite a while. Certain processes may take a toll on your computer’s performance, yet mainly the CPU and memory usage remains at a comfortable low level.
