Effortless RAW/JPEG photo culling and organization
A photo-culling application that treats RAW and JPEG files with matching filenames as a single asset. Users could rate or favorite photos while browsing fast JPEG previews, and the app would automatically apply the rating and organize, copy, or move both paired files together while preserving folder structure. It could also detect unmatched files, duplicates, and batch-export selected photos.
The problem
Photographers with large libraries containing paired RAW (.dng) and JPEG files must manually identify favorites in a photo viewer and then locate and move the corresponding RAW files. This is slow, repetitive, and error-prone, especially when photos are distributed across nested folders.

Users could rate or favorite photos while browsing fast JPEG previews, and the app would automatically apply the rating and organize, copy, or move both paired files together while preserving folder structure. It could also detect unmatched files, duplicates, and batch-export selected photos.
Why it matters
Every hour spent on a task a computer could do is an hour not spent growing the business.
