Hey guys

I was looking for a tool to show me some statistics on my photos a little while ago in order to better understand what my most common camera settings were. I think I was trying to justify buying a new lens, although it was a little clunky using the Lightroom interface to get this info.

I wanted to know

  • my most common apertures
  • my most common focal lengths
  • my photo volumes over the past 2 years
  • how much usage my lenses get
  • how much usage my cameras get

I found some other tools online that claimed to use your Lightroom library to do some of these, although they all sucked, required me to install plugins or pay money and they were pretty ugly to look at.

I’m a software engineer, so I wrote my own. It’s free to use, doesn’t require you to install anything and runs completely in your browser. None of your data is uploaded, nor does it leave your machine.

Simply drag your Lightroom Catalog (.lrcat) file onto the page and it will analyze your data and visualize your catalog meta data for you into some nice charts.

I have plenty of ideas for more features to add, although i’m releasing the base version now to see what people think and if there are any “must have” features that are requested.

You can consider it beta software for now, please let me know if you spot any bugs. Tested in Chrome and FireFox

Take a look, and let me know what you think

      JPEG options?

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
