In brief · compiled from muskegman.com

What is it?
Pro Photo Sorter is a Windows desktop app for sorting, tagging, comparing, editing, and storing photos. It creates Adobe-standard .xmp sidecars for Lightroom.
Who is it for?
It is for photographers who manage large photo libraries, including people working offline or with multiple photo sources.
How does it work?
Users open photo sources, add tags and ratings, compare or edit images, and store them into paths created from nested categories. The app can also resize images for printing and write XMP sidecars.
What does it cost?
The app costs $29 as a one-time lifetime purchase. A free trial includes every feature, but stored photos have a small watermark until a purchase key is entered.

Why I built this

after decades of photography I have multiple hard drives filled with unsorted photos. Everything I tried required a lot of steps to archive each photo so I built Pro Photo Sorter edit and sort large volumes of photos with very few steps.

Pro Photo Sorter is a Windows desktop organizer for photographers who sort and tag large photo libraries. It works entirely offline with nested tag folders, side-by-side comparison, a built-in editor, and Lightroom-ready Adobe-standard .xmp sidecars. Photos remain on the user’s PC with no account, cloud storage, or telemetry.
