Amateur and professional photographers culling large RAW shoots on Windows, macOS or Linux
About CoolCroco
CoolCroco is a free image viewer built for one job: getting through a shoot without waiting. It decodes a whole folder of RAW files on background workers and holds them in memory, so once the first pass is done you move through hundreds of frames instantly, forwards or backwards, with no re-decoding and no cache thrashing. Cull with one key. A files a photograph into an Approved folder, X into Rejected, and Ctrl+Z puts it back. Nothing is ever deleted - files are only moved beside the originals. Rate from 1 to 5, written as XMP where Lightroom, Bridge and Capture One read it. It reads RAW from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Leica, Hasselblad and Phase One through LibRaw, plus HEIC, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WebP, up to 100,000 photographs in one folder. It also finds duplicates and bursts, detects out-of-focus frames, and searches a shoot by what is in the pictures, entirely on your own computer. Windows, macOS and Linux.
