Tack

Tack revolutionizes photo organization for wildlife photographers by automatically identifying the sharpest images. Key features: * Bird and animal eye detection * Precise sharpness scoring on subjects * Extensive RAW file support * Direct Lightroom integration * Local processing, no cloud uploads This dedicated photography tool was developed specifically for the unique demands of wildlife and bird photography. Unlike general culling software, Tack's underlying models are trained to recognize various animal anatomies, ensuring accurate identification and sharpness analysis of eyes, even when subjects are small in the frame. It supports all major camera brands, processing CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, and other RAW formats efficiently using embedded previews. Photographers can simply point Tack to a folder, and it automatically analyzes every image, scoring sharpness at the critical eye region. This eliminates hours of manual review, allowing creators to spend more time on post-processing and less on culling. The processed results integrate seamlessly into existing workflows; Tack generates XMP sidecars that Lightroom instantly recognizes, flagging best shots as 'Picks' and soft ones as 'Rejects' without requiring plugins or catalog imports. Built for Mac, Windows, and Linux, Tack offers a one-time purchase model. It's an indispensable utility for wildlife, bird, and nature photographers who need to quickly sift through thousands of frames to find their top-quality captures.
