The shooting software

The whole school day, in one piece of software

Available on Mac and Windows

The photo lands on the student, the AI culls, sorts the class photos and edits the series. You approve.

The school photography software in a session: the student's first name large, their photo in the center, the previous and next students on each side, the class as a filmstrip.
01
Tethered capture

The photo lands on the student

With the camera connected, you shoot as usual: each photo joins the student on screen, and the next one follows without a gesture. In the evening, there is nothing left to match.

Tethered capture
A school photo session: the photo taken lands under the name of the student on screen.
02
Culling

The best shots, kept for you

The software keeps automatically what needs no choice and flags the doubtful ones. You cull from the keyboard, student by student, on your computer or online.

Culling and retouching
Culling one student: the best shot kept, a doubt flagged.
03
Retouching

The whole series, in one setting

Suggested light, portraits aligned on the eyes, tilted photos straightened: one setting applies to the whole project, and the original stays intact.

04
Export

Yearbook sheets and thumbnails, in an instant

An ultra-fast export: yearbook sheets by class and thumbnails for the whole school come out named the way you want, with no waiting.

05
Cropping

Cropped to the head, if you want

As an option, each portrait is cropped to the face, with the eyes at the same height across the series. Without the option, the photo comes out as you framed it.

06
Online sales

To your sales platform

Do you sell online with your usual provider? The photos come out named and organized the way it expects them: all that is left is to upload them.

64-bit Windows
Processor
Intel or AMD: no version for ARM-based PCs

The application, plus your photos: the software keeps a copy of every shot and warns you when less than 5 GB is left (adjustable)
Camera
A USB port, to connect the camera during the session (tethered capture)
Internet
Not needed to shoot. It is used to sync your photos with your online space and to receive updates

What never changes

No facial recognition

The software finds where a face is in order to crop, nothing more: it does not know who is in the photo.

The school's list, imported

The file the school sends you is imported as it is: no list to type in again.

Synced, without getting in the way

The session runs on your computer; your photos join your online space when the network is there.

The software in detail

Find out more

School photography software has to last a whole day: hundreds of students, several classes, sometimes without wifi. This one starts from the school's class roster, follows the session student by student, culls, edits, sorts the class photos and prepares the files for the school, without switching tools.

It installs on Mac and Windows and connects to your online space: your photos are there, organized by school and by class.
