Even without the 36-roll roll of movie or memory cards that go out quickly, it won’t take long to fill an iPhone and cloud storage with photos. So can Canon release iOS app that can make the hard decisions for you when it’s time to erase memories by using AI to reasonably decide which scenes aren’t worth keeping.
Access to terabytes of cloud storage is a two-edged sword because if you are not willing to pay for the benefit of being a digital collector, eventually you have to clean up your camera roll, and years of being happy can leave you with thousands of photos combed by hand. But now you can transfer the hard work to PHIL (short for Photography Intelligence Learning), which is what Canon has named its computer vision platform.
in the Photo killing app, there are two ways to put PHIL to work. The “Culling Whole” option analyzes your entire camera roll and scores each image based on four different criteria: sound, sharpness, closed eyes, and detected sensitivity. Users set a score threshold and then the app displays a list of non-measurable and removable images, allowing users to take one last look for keepers any they do not want to part with, even though it is a bad bullet.
It is also known as “Similar Culling” and uses AI to sort similar images into groups, evaluate each bullet, and then give the user the best of both worlds. images from each series and the option to quickly delete the rest. He promises to make decisions process when it comes to deleting photos is much easier because the fact that it was as beautiful as the sunset last night, there is little chance that you will ever go back and look at 40 pictures of the sunset.

Other features include a running count of how many images your device has and the amount of storage they are taking up. and automated record sorting based on timestamps or photos taken at the same event. When a record starts to grow too large, the app automatically reminds you that it may be time to clean a house. However, according to the fine print, the app does not work with photos uploaded to iCloud and instead users need to make sure that the “Download & Keep Originals” option is turned on so that all the photos are seated on the own machine.
Canon is a photo shoot available from the Apple App Store right now and while you can try it for free for three days, after that it requires a $ 3 monthly subscription or a $ 15 annual subscription cheaper if you think it’s something you use often .
