Portland, OR—ON1, a provider of photo-editing software apps, launched ON1 Photo Keyword AI 2023 (June 19). The simple-to-use application makes your photos discoverable by intelligently finding and organizing them using AI (artificial intelligence). You can now search as well as view your photos with the AI photo organizer based on photo content.
Photographers often must manually add keywords to find specific photos shot in different years or locations or identify duplicates. However, the new app leverages machine learning and browsing capabilities to address these time-consuming tasks to make rediscovering or searching photos more effortless.
“We all know how tagging, organizing and even managing photos, in general, is a pain. Well, with Photo Keyword AI, we can all say goodbye to the time-consuming tasks of manually tagging photos and instead focus on more fun parts like rediscovering our favorite images just by doing simple searches,” said Dan Harlacher, VP of Product at ON1. “Our software combines the power of machine learning with a full-featured browser, delivering an intuitive solution that really improves the way photographers can search and view their photo libraries.”
ON1 Photo Keyword AI 2023 Features
To start, ON1 Photo Keyword AI’s automatic keyword generation feature eliminates the task of manually tagging photos. The advanced machine learning algorithms scan each image, recognizing more than 800 objects and photo elements. Additionally, related keywords are added automatically, for more accurate search results. Moreover, this is accomplished locally, using on-device intelligence, without uploading your photos to the cloud.
The software’s capabilities go beyond keyword tagging, though. ON1 Photo Keyword AI can also detect faces, estimate age and gender as well as determine location using GPS metadata. It will also classify photos based on photographic traits such as key, contrast, vividness, focal length and predominant color. These features enable photographers to quickly find the images they need in their extensive photo collections.
Another highlight is the software’s fast browser. The complete metadata support, including nested keywords, descriptions, EXIF, IPTC and XMP support, help ensure all relevant information is captured and accessible in the app.
Further, importing photos from memory cards, cameras or phones is accomplished via a built-in import dialog. You can select the desired images, designate their destination, rename files and add metadata simultaneously.
In addition, the new ON1 app supports many file formats. They include RAW photos from more than 800 cameras, PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG, HEVC and most video files. The software’s search functionality also allows you to type a word or phrase to search any metadata field. You can also search by star and color rating, number of faces, age and gender, file type, camera settings and size. What’s more you can have simultaneous searches across multiple fields, with the ability to save searches for future use.
Other Features
In addition, you can find duplicates and similar photos with ON1 Photo Keyword AI, to free up storage space. The software’s batch-processing feature also empowers you to export copies of photos in different formats, customize file naming conventions, control metadata and add watermarks. 
For photographers seeking to showcase their work, the app provides a fully color-managed workflow for printing photos. This includes the ability to preview them with soft proofing, print packages and contact sheets.
Furthermore, unlike integrated platforms such as Apple Photos, Google Photos and Adobe Lightroom Cloud, ON1 Photo Keyword AI offers a browse-first approach. It enables you to organize your photos however you prefer, without extensive cataloging or uploading to the cloud.
Plus, the built-in import dialog simplifies downloading photos from various devices. At the same time, the automatic XMP embedding ensures all automatic keywords and metadata are viewable and searchable in other applications, like Adobe Lightroom Classic or Capture One.
The app is now available to download as a 30-day free trial and to purchase. It is currently on sale for $39.99 (normally $69.99) Note: Photo Keyword AI is also now integrated inside ON1 Photo RAW 2023.
