Score this shoot and show me the twenty worst frames and why they scored badly.
Scoring is the step that makes everything after it cheap. Once every frame carries a number and a reason, culling, ranking and re-selection are all just queries.
The scores are readable by the agent, so a shoot can be interrogated in plain language rather than clicked through.
What happens, step by step
Run the pass
analyze_photos scores pending photos for sharpness, exposure, eyes and composition.
Ask questions
list_photos and get_photo expose scores, EXIF and edit state, so the agent can explain why a frame was dropped.
Check the shape of the shoot
get_library_stats returns counts per status, which is how you know where you are.
Why it is worth doing this way
A score with a reason attached is auditable. You are not asked to trust a black box; you can ask why any individual frame landed where it did.
The tools behind it
Nothing here is a black box. This workflow is these tools, in this order, and you can read exactly what each one does:
