Photo Curator vs Sonatype Lifecycle

Photo Curator helps photographers sort large photo libraries and identify likely keepers. Cull groups images as Sharp, Soft (recoverable) or Blurry using a contrast-normalized sharpness measure. Dedup clusters near-duplicates using perceptual hashing, capture-time metadata and ORB feature matching, then keeps the sharpest frame in each group. Rank scores composition, lighting, focus, color and contrast, showing top selections with per-photo radar charts. It reads JPEG, PNG, HEIC, HEIF, HIF, TIFF, BMP, WebP and RAW formats supported by LibRaw. Processing runs locally on the user's machine; the app binds its server to 127.0.0.1 and says photos are not uploaded. Files are not moved or deleted unless the user chooses an action. The GPS view can make optional requests for OpenFreeMap tiles, loaded by the browser. Photo Curator is free and open source under the MIT license. Its offline Linux bundle supports x86_64 and requires glibc 2.28 or later; ARM and musl distributions are not covered by that bundle.
