Polarr Next

Polarr Next utilizes artificial intelligence to revolutionize the photo culling and editing process for photographers. It aims to significantly reduce workflow time by learning a user's unique editing style in real-time. As users make edits on reference photos, the AI observes and applies these adjustments consistently across relevant images within a gallery, promising up to an 80% reduction in workload. The tool features a proprietary processing engine for high-speed import of RAW files directly within a web browser or desktop application, ensuring files remain offline and are not uploaded to the cloud for processing, thereby maintaining user privacy.

The platform offers features like AI-assisted culling, which groups photos and analyzes faces to help photographers select the best shots efficiently. Users can either train their own AI based on their edits or utilize pre-trained AI Styles provided by Polarr Next. The AI is capable of learning various adjustments, including global settings like lighting and color, as well as local adjustments using masks (radial, gradient, subject, background). Polarr Next can also import existing Lightroom presets, integrating into established workflows while offering a standalone editing experience. It requires Google Chrome for the web version or offers a downloadable desktop application.
