Artificial Intelligence Aims to Highlight Your Top-notch Photos
AUSTIN, Texas, June 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
The word Artificial Intelligence is increasing. The latest example is Picturesqe
[http://picturesqe.com ], a tool for photographers that uses AI-powered automation to help
pick out the best snaps and filter out the dross.

Founders of Picturesqe, a machine-learning powered piece of software, are confident
that it can select the good photos from your large stack. But unlike similar mobile Apps,
Picturesqe is targeted specifically at professional photographers and semi-pros.
Features of the application include smart grouping, which automatically groups similar
photos based on visual content, intelligent zoom so that you can quickly compare the same
spot on multiple shots, and aesthetic ranking. All in all, Picturesqe picks out the best
photos for you and culls the duds.
Use of the software is easy and straight forward as its screens
[https://youtu.be/Ib6P22S-HnY ] are tailored exclusively for photographers.
And, of course, the software's algorithms claim to get smarter based on an individual
user's feedback.
"The problem is that professional photographers take thousands of photos and have to
spend countless hours to manually delete wrong shots and select the best ones," Picturesqe
co-founder Daniel Szollosi recently told TechCrunch
[http://techcrunch.com/2016/05/09/picturesqe ]. "Speed to market is a crucial factor, such
as in live sports. And in other fields (e.g. weddings, events) dozens of pictures are very
similar, therefore the final selection becomes an expensive, time-consuming task."
As it stands, Picturesqe is aimed strictly at professional and semi-pro photographers,
along with photo enthusiasts, which Szollosi describes as photographers using
interchangeable lens cameras (DSLR). "We're not targeting the casual or smartphone
photographers for now, maybe at a later stage," he says.
The first release of the software has been on the market since January, 2016
attracting already thousands of photographers.
Picturesqe also offers its own API, therefore businesses can incorporate that into
their own software solutions thus offering more value to their existing customers.
Picturesqe, Inc. headquartered in Austin, Texas with R&D office in Budapest, Hungary
has just released version 2.0 for Windows with fine-tuned workflow and enhanced
automation. In the meantime, they have changed to a freemium business model: the FREE
version is for photo enthusiasts, the PROFESSIONAL is for professionals - available via
monthly subscription.
Tech and photo portals apparently find the approach appealing as seen in early press
coverage [http://picturesqe.com ].
