I got this plugin for free in an online &#8220;advent calendar&#8221;. As it was free, I can&#8217;t expect anything, obviously. But still I can tell you what I think about the tool. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me mention that version 1.4 is not the latest version as of today. So the more recent 2.0 version may be performing much better than the one I tested, but I have no way of verifying this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what is this tool about? Excire Search is a photo organizing software that sifts thru your photos in order to organize them. The company claims Excire Search is &#8220;The best software for organizing your photo treasures&#8221;, using AI it analyzes and tags photos automatically so that &#8220;image management [is] fun again.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, let&#8217;s see how helpful the tool actually is. One category that Excire creates in your keyword hierarchy is &#8220;Image Color.&#8221; So if you are searching for images of a certain color, this should be helpful, right? Well, have a look yourself. This is the hierarchy it created for some 15K photos I have in this Lightroom catalog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"289\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1730\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Image Color&#8221; keywords<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s have a look at some of the images Excire classifies as &#8220;black&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"814\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1731\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos of the moon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, ok, that&#8217;s certainly a lot of black, so I agree the tag is useful.
