CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jason Parker on November 24, 2008
If you're looking for a way to sift through an enormous image library for specific photos, this app might be just the ticket. A simple interface based on the .NET framework features a dark gray background and large easy-to-read buttons for the programs feature set. Images are displayed as thumbnails with the ability to flip through pages if you're just looking to browse. Some editing tools are available for red-eye correction and image rotation, and you can sort photos into groups made easily accessible on the bottom of the interface. But Photology's true strength is the ability to quickly sort through giant photo libraries and find images fitting a specific criteria. You can sort by date, time of day, location (inside or outside), content (faces, flowers, sunsets), and you can enter a search term if you have previously named images. But our favorite feature is the ability to search by color simply by using a mouse-over tool to select different gradations. Though some may be turned off by the required extra download of the .NET framework, this program is a great choice for anyone wishing to search and collect photos from large image libraries.
Publisher's description
From Enoetic LLC :Photology helps you navigate the flood of digital photos on your computer by finding photos using simple and intuitive filters like faces, sky, color, location, and time of day. Photology's intuitive user interface is simple and straightforward. It only shows you what you need, when you need it, and all functionality is accessed via large, clearly identified buttons.
Most photo software requires you to tag your photos or relies on organized folders. But not Photology! Photology analyzes your photos so you can search for them as if you were telling a story, using intuitive search filters that reflect the way people think and remember. No tags, no folders--Photology just knows your photos.
What's new in this version:
- Increased the �¢â?¬�?quality�¢â?¬? setting for JPEG files shared from Photology. The new setting is similar to the best available quality from popular digital cameras.
- When an original size and unadjusted photo is �¢â?¬�?shared to file,�¢â?¬? a copy of the original file will be shared (instead of a compressed version).
- Fixed a bug relating to an error when a file is moved with Photology in detail view.

Version: Photology 2.0.117
Pros: Nice concept that helps me to store my pictures in an ordently way.
Easy in use after reading the help-file.Cons: Takes to much time to download pictures. While downloading slows down the pc considerably. Consumes 100% CPU.
Some pictures where not recognised at all as I ordered the program to do.Summary: The program helps to classify a whole image library. Acces to the library is easy.
The toolbox is rather poor but more than enough for starters.
One has to be patient when searching the net for images and using them into the program. -
Version: Photology 2.0.117
"This is what I always wanted!!"
Pros: I have over 10000 images and phology provides the best access to them. I love the email option with the Amazon S3 link
Cons: start is a bit slow but that seems to be .NET starting
Summary: I found images i forgot where i stored them. Photology also scans network drives. That takes a while but it happens only once. After this it recognised all new images i stored. Search results have the same quality as googles. I always find what I am... read more >>

Version: Photology 2.0.117
"Did they test it before release?"
Pros: Don't know - none, I guess
Cons: Uses 100% CPU, so after 5 minutes it had managed to scan only 6 images... Then I gave up.
Summary: Good looking, quick download - but useless because of CPU usage.

Version: Photology 2.0.117
Pros: Can't think of any
Cons: This must be beta. Sounds more useful than it is. Slows everything on the computer down; features, when they work, are very slow. Between downloading & using, used up about a half hour of precious time. Wait for new version
Summary: The download took much longer, given its size than it should have. Suddenly on the computer I found everything had practically slowed to a halt. When finally opened there was no help given, and while the web page added some ideas of what to do, th... read more >>
