ViolaScope workspace for rating photos with stars on Mac

Star ratings

Rate photos while you review them

Assign one to five stars as you move through a photo collection. Ratings become part of the review process instead of a separate task that has to be completed later.

The main image, filmstrip and rating controls remain available together, so a decision can be recorded while the photograph is still in view.

More than stars

Mark photos in the way that fits the decision

A star rating is not the only way to describe a selection. ViolaScope also supports favorites, color labels and culling decisions for different stages of the review process.

These selection signals make it possible to distinguish between a quality rating, a favorite image, a visual category and a keep-or-reject decision.

Filter and compare

Turn ratings into a working selection

Filter the visible collection by a rating, favorite, color label, culling status or tag and continue working with the matching photos.

When two similar images remain, the comparison view places them side by side. Synchronized zoom and panning help inspect fine details before making the next decision.

Keep the decision attached to the workflow

ViolaScope brings reviewing, rating, filtering and comparison together without turning the process into image editing. Your original image files remain untouched during review.
