Identifying pictures that are blurred for movement or out of focus

[cerp]

Dear all,

The first thing we do when we download the pictures from a shooting  
session is a quick round to eliminate all the pictures that are not  
above a basic quality threshold: those that are blurred, out of focus,  
or blurred because of movement, or for other defects.

Of course, when you shoot two thousand pictures then this quick round  
is actually not quick at all, but it is a very long process.

So here is the question: is there a way to automatically identify all  
the blurred images in an album, highlight them, maybe label them or  
tag them, and then decide what to do?

Best Regards

Hi,

Yes, there is. Look in maintenance tool, in Quality section. check the settings page where an option to verify the blur level exists.

Start the maintance tool with only the Quality stage. The Pick tags (red, yellow, green flags) are used to store the Quality scan results.

There's a quality sorter option in the maintenance tool, have you tried that?

Dear Gilles, Remco,

I have tried to use the Quality tool, but it misses some very blurred  
out of focus pictures, and classifies as blurred pictures that are  
not. I do not udnerstand all the options either.

If you help me through it, I would be happy to update the help page as well!

Best,
