Tack – AI Photo Culling for Wildlife & Birds

Summary: Tack is an AI-powered photo culler designed specifically for wildlife and bird photography. It uses machine learning models trained on animal eyes to identify the sharpest shots by scoring eye-region sharpness. The software runs locally without cloud uploads and exports XMP sidecar files compatible with Lightroom and similar programs.

What it does

Tack analyzes photos using ML models focused on mammals, birds, and reptiles to rate sharpness in the eye area. It generates XMP sidecars to display ratings in photo editing software.

Who it's for

Wildlife, bird, and nature photographers who need to quickly find sharp images from large photo sets.

Why it matters

It reduces the time spent manually culling wildlife photos by automating sharpness detection without relying on cloud services.
