Welcome to Project Kestrel v(Tufted Titmouse)!

Project Kestrel gets bug fixes, UI improvements, and a new logo.

Key Changes

  • New Logo! Project Kestrel features a new logo, an American Kestrel morphing into a Camera lens aperture.
  • Fixed bug where the software would detect the same bird multiple times, often with poor quality auxiliary detections. (Thank you @TechKno see GitHub.com/#14)
  • New Write XMP Metadata button - Don't need to through Kestrel Culling Assistant to write metadata; you can directly export Kestrel's star ratings and import them into your favorite RAW workflow editor.

Minor Changes

  • Updated tutorial
  • Fixed analytics data collection issues.
  • Fixed a bug where TIFF and TIF files would not be supported
  • Expanded Adobe Lightroom metadata handling to include more fields. (Thank you @TechKno - #14)

Upcoming Features

  • Video Tutorial is coming soon on projectkestrel.org
  • Projectkestrel.org will be updated to reflect the full capabilities of Project Kestrel
  • No major features are planned at this time; user feedback is requested as soon as possible.
  • GPU support is on the roadmap; as is improvements to image quality classification.

Thank you

#14 Thank you to GitHub user TechKno for providing some of the code that is included in this release

Feedback? Please visit projectkestrel.org/contact or use the in-app feedback feature!

I am especially interested in feedback on the new culling assistant tool! Does it have the customization you need? Is the XMP metadata export working? How about the RAW previews? Are the star ratings and quality scores accurate?
