PhotoMentor - AI Critic

Elevate your photography with instant, constructive feedback from a professional AI mentor — and cull whole shoots, RAW included, with Bulk Culler in the PhotoMentor desktop web app. PhotoMentor helps you understand why a photo works or fails. It gives detailed critique, visual annotations, practical advice, and a serious second opinion for photographers who want to improve, not just collect praise. 🔥 NEW in 2.7.0 — Bulk Culler for real photography workflows: - Camera RAW and RAW+JPEG pairs: drop a card folder as it is. Bulk Culler judges each RAW file by the preview your camera embedded in it and counts RAW+JPEG pairs as one photo. RAW and full-size files never leave your computer. - Creative mode: choose Event / reportage or Creative / personal work before the AI sort. In Creative mode, silhouettes, motion blur, fog, grain and unusual exposure are treated as possible intent: on their own they send a photo to Review at worst, never to Rejected. - Back to Lightroom Classic and Capture One: set stars and colour labels, then export statuses, ratings, labels and keywords as XMP sidecars. In Chrome and Edge, Bulk Culler writes them straight into your shoot folder without touching your existing edits; your photo files are never modified. - Shortlist separate from critique: choose up to 100 finalists. Detailed critique runs automatically for the first 3 finalists on Free, 5 on Pro and up to 50 on Pro Workflow; any other photo can be critiqued with one click. - Faster review: keyboard shortcuts, multi-select, undo, side-by-side comparison of similar frames and “keep the best of a group”. - Find any photo again: search across all your shoots by description (“fog on a bridge”) or find similar photos, gather favourites into collections, and on Pro Workflow add older shoots to search without culling them. - Uploads keep going while you browse your sessions, and once your photos are uploaded, the AI sort keeps running on our servers even if you close the tab. 📸 What PhotoMentor Does: PhotoMentor analyzes your photos using advanced AI and gives a structured, professional critique across composition, light, color, story, subject separation, timing, and technical execution. It is built as a serious sparring partner for photographers. ✨ Key Features: 📷 Google Photos Integration: Open a photo on photos.google.com, and PhotoMentor can recognize whether you have already analyzed it. If a match is found, you can reopen the full critique. If it is new, send it to PhotoMentor directly. The floating Google Photos panel can be collapsed, moved, or disabled in Settings. 🧠 Instant Professional Critique: Upload any photo and get a detailed breakdown of what works, what fails, and what to do next. 🎯 Pinpoint Visual Analysis: PhotoMentor highlights specific areas of your image with visual boxes, so you can see exactly what the critique refers to. 🧩 Bulk Culler in the Desktop Web App: For full shoots, open PhotoMentor on your computer (app.photomentor.pro). Upload a folder of photos, RAW included. The AI sort puts every photo into Keep, Review, or Rejected and groups similar frames. A short written brief shapes the ranking. You choose your finalists and send your decisions back to your editor. It is built for real editing sessions, not tiny mobile screens. 🔁 One Account Everywhere: Your Pro or Pro Workflow plan, credits, saved critiques, and Bulk Culler sessions belong to your PhotoMentor account. Use the Chrome Extension for quick critiques and Google Photos, and the desktop web app for culling whole shoots. 🌐 Anywhere on the Web: Right-click any image on any website and choose “Analyze with PhotoMentor” to learn from images you find online. ✂️ Screen Area Capture: Use the built-in snipping tool to analyze a selected screen area, including videos, protected images, or details that are hard to upload directly. 💬 Choose Your Tone: Select how direct the mentor should be — from supportive guidance to a stricter “Hard Truth” critique. 📈 Track Progress: Save critiques, search history, compare revisions, and watch your photography improve over time. 🗣️ Multi-language Support: Get feedback in English, German, Russian, or Spanish. 🚀 Who is this for? Wedding, event and portrait photographers: Let Bulk Culler take the first pass through a 2,000-frame shoot, then spend your time on the decisions that need you. Fine-art and personal-project photographers: Creative mode doesn’t punish deliberate blur, grain or silhouettes. Serious hobbyists: Stop guessing why a photo “doesn’t feel right.” Get clear, specific explanations. Students: Get fast feedback on assignments, experiments, and practice shots. Working photographers: Use PhotoMentor as a second opinion for selects, portfolio review, and client-session triage. Creators and visual learners: Analyze images from the web, Google Photos, or your own archive and understand what makes them stronger or weaker. 🔒 Privacy: Bulk Culler uploads only reduced copies of your photos (up to 1024 px on the long side); RAW and full-size files stay on your computer. PhotoMentor never modifies, renames, or deletes your photo files, and your photos are not used to train AI models. Uploaded copies of a Bulk session are kept for a limited time that depends on your plan. Your work remains yours. Start using PhotoMentor today — critique single images from anywhere, and cull whole shoots in the desktop web app.
