Common use cases from our users include:
Navigating through the photo collection based on content.
With the automatically assigned keywords, one can navigate through the photo collection based on content, finding many old treasures and awakening beautiful memories. This often directly generates new ideas for creative photo projects.
Find and delete duplicates
Find duplicates is one of the most popular features in Excire Foto. Duplicate photos can be easily found in the archive and the unnecessary versions can be deleted. Editing variants or almost identical images from series shots can also be selected and deleted. This creates space and order on the hard drives.
Add automatic keywords and create your own keyword hierarchy
After automatic keywording by the artificial intelligence in Excire Foto, it is much more fun to dive deeper into the photo collection and add your own keywords to the AI keywords. After all, the AI can't know what the occasion was for a particular group photo.
Searching for people and assigning names
Which leads directly to the next common use case: Finding people in the photos and assigning names. Since Find People in Excire Foto works on the basis of an example photo, many users proceed by searching for a person with an example and then tagging all found photos with the person's name as a keyword. This way, people can be easily retrieved later using the keyword search.
Select and rate images after vacation
With the help of the quick image viewer, you can easily view your photos in Excire Foto after your vacation and rate the best pictures with a star mark, while unsuccessful snapshots can be deleted directly from the hard disk again. To select a photo, first click on the folder with the vacation pictures and then double-click on the first photo to start viewing. With the arrow key you can easily switch to the next picture or quickly switch between two pictures for comparison. The number keys 1-5 assign star ratings (0 deletes them again).
Create photo books and family albums
Often, occasion-related collections are also created using the search functions in Excire Foto.
For example, you can create a collection for a family member's birthday album or your daughter's wedding album, and then gradually fill this collection using various searches. Search results can be easily assigned to an existing collection by right-clicking. In the end, the photos can be exported to a shared folder for easy photo book creation.
For this task, GPS search can be used well, too, when it comes to finding photos from a certain region and retracing a travel route. Or to document the changes of a place over the years that one has visited again and again.
Search and export photos for social media
The export function can also be used to output the best photos, which you have selected with the help of the search functions and the star filters, for use in a web gallery or on social media in a smaller resolution. To do this, simply specify the desired image resolution when exporting and output the photo in the selected directory for this type of photos (e.g. "Photos for Facebook").
