About photoc

Photoc is an open-source command-line interface designed specifically for photographers seeking efficient JPEG workflow management. It offers a suite of tools to inspect EXIF data, summarize entire shoots, identify exact duplicates, and detect potentially blurry images. Photoc also facilitates previewing renames and sorting operations, creating contact sheets, and generating compressed copies of images. An important privacy feature is its ability to scrub GPS data before sharing, ensuring user privacy. Currently focused on Sony ARW raw files and JPEGs, it caters to photographers who prefer or require CLI workflows over graphical interfaces. Its open-source nature makes it highly customizable and appealing to those comfortable with command-line tools and scripting, making it especially suitable for photographers managing large collections or automating repetitive tasks.
