ViolaScope for macOS
Photo review and culling features for Mac
Review, compare and organize large photo collections in a native macOS workspace that keeps the image, selection tools, metadata and project context together.
Review and organize
Keep the entire selection workflow in view
ViolaScope combines the main image, project navigation, filmstrip, ratings, color labels, favorites and metadata in one focused workspace.
Move through a collection without constantly switching between separate windows or tools.
Compare
Put similar shots side by side
The comparison view places two selected images next to each other so differences in composition, timing and detail can be judged directly.
Zoom controls support closer inspection when the decision depends on fine image detail.
Focus
Give one image the space it needs
Switch to a focused single-image view when sidebars and project controls are no longer needed for the current decision.
Zoom and panning make it possible to inspect details while keeping the interaction direct and uncluttered.
Location and GPX
See where a photo belongs
ViolaScope can work with embedded or XMP location information and provides dedicated workflows for map positions, GPX tracks and reference photos.
Existing source location information is protected, while project-specific positions can be managed without changing the original image files.
Common workflows
Start with the task you want to solve
Explore focused ViolaScope workflows for reviewing and organizing photo collections on your Mac.
02
Rate photos
Assign one to five stars, use favorites and color labels, then filter the visible collection according to your selection.
03
Organize photos locally
Keep photo review, ratings, metadata and project information on your Mac without depending on a proprietary ViolaScope photo cloud.
04
Geotag photos with GPX
Match photo capture times with GPX tracks, account for time offsets and review assigned locations on the map.
Projects under your control
Original photos stay untouched
External folders can be used as temporary review sources. Images only become part of the permanent ViolaScope project through an explicit export workflow.
