Photo selection that sorts itself.

After the shoot comes the most thankless hour.

Hundreds, often thousands of images. "Whose eyes are closed? Which one is actually sharp?" That culling pass costs you an entire evening. SelectivePro takes over exactly this step: load a folder, automatic analysis, then just click through.

What SelectivePro spots for you.

Two analyses that do the work for you, plus a review workflow that runs entirely from the keyboard.

Eye detection, face by face

Open, half open or closed, shown as green, orange and red markers right on the image. Head pose counts too: someone looking down is not falsely scored as "open". With several people in frame, every face gets its own rating.

Sharpness, measured on the face

What gets rated is the person in focus, not the background. A portrait with beautiful bokeh counts as sharp, a motion-blurred face as blurry. Reliably sorted.

1 to 5 stars from the keyboard

Rate with the number keys, 0 clears. Ratings survive a reload.

Filters, combined freely

Eyes, sharpness and a minimum star count together. "All sharp 4-star shots with open eyes" is one click.

Crop, rotate, flip. Non-destructive.

A full crop editor with a rule-of-thirds grid, fixed aspect ratios or free-form, plus 90° rotation and flipping. The original stays untouched; the crop is only rendered on export.

People view

A panel shows detected faces as tiles. One click zooms the large preview straight onto that face.

EXIF at a glance

Camera, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, date, resolution, format and file size.

Zoom & detail

Double-click zooms to the spot, pinch on the trackpad, or use the zoom buttons. Check sharpness and eyes precisely.

RAW & pair merge

ARW, CR2/CR3, NEF, DNG and more. RAW + JPG with the same name are merged into a single shot.

Export your selection

Exactly the filtered images into a target folder, crop included. Originals stay unchanged.

English & German

Switchable live. Analysis mode "Fast" or "Accurate", thresholds freely adjustable.

Through the shoot in three steps.

  1. Pick a folder

    SelectivePro reads in every photo, RAW included, and merges RAW+JPG pairs automatically.

  2. Analyse automatically

    Eyes, sharpness and faces are evaluated locally, with a progress indicator. No upload, no waiting on the cloud.

  3. Review & export

    Click through with the arrow keys, filter, rate, crop. Export your best images in one go.

The list on the left, the big picture on the right.

Every photo carries its status on itself: eye marker, sharpness marker, number of people, RAW and crop badges. The arrow keys take you calmly from image to image. Rating, zooming, deleting: all from the keyboard.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The entire analysis runs locally on your Mac. There is no upload and no account.

Does SelectivePro alter my originals?

No. Ratings, crops and rotations are non-destructive and are only applied on export. Deleting moves the file to the Trash, so it can be restored.

Which formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF as well as common RAW formats (including ARW, CR2/CR3, NEF, DNG, RAF, ORF, RW2). RAW+JPG pairs are shown as a single shot.

How accurate is the detection?

Eyes open/half/closed and sharp/blurry are detected reliably. Sensitivity can be fine-tuned in the settings. Two modes, "Fast" and "Accurate", set the balance between speed and precision.
