ACQUINE

This is certainly an interesting way to evaluate an image.

I saw that the other day and thought it was interesting. I know a lot of people will be offended by the idea of a computer ranking image quality but it does seem to do a decent job of a general ordering. If you dig far enough into, there is a definite trend as you go down the rankings. Most of the really nice images are near the top and more poorer images near the bottom. And there certainly are some that I look at the ranking and go "Huh?"

I'd be curious to know how it works behind the scenes.

And remember that in the end, we are doing this because we enjoy and not to get some computerized score.

I ran about a dozen of my images through the process. Apparently, my photography sucks. Thank goodness acquine is not my customer. Oh wait, I don't have customers.

I ran an image that placed third in a gallery juried show and it was also one out of 5 images that sold during that show and it received a 35 out of 100 from acquine. Glad they did not use that software to judge the exhibit...
