A tool for sorting and judging your own work

Look closer before you decide.

Loupe helps you sort a shoot and get a second opinion on your strongest frame — without ever making the decision for you.

Keep Maybe Reject

Two jobs, not one

What you're trying to do decides which tool you need.

01 / Cull a shoot

Sort a full take

Upload hundreds of frames from one sitting. Loupe flags what's sharp, what's soft, and what a tighter crop could still rescue.

  • Never deletes anything — every call is yours
  • Compares near-identical burst frames side by side
  • Shows what a crop or a stop of exposure would reveal

02 / Get a critique

Judge one image properly

Submit your strongest frame, pick your competition level, and get a critique calibrated against real judges' scores — not a generic opinion.

  • Scored on the scale your own club actually uses
  • Tuned to beginner, advanced, or national level
  • Flags techniques that divide judges, instead of marking them down
Submit for critique

Field notes

What Loupe won't do

Deletion

It never deletes a photo. It marks and explains its reasoning — you decide what stays.

Editing

It never touches a pixel. Any crop or exposure change is a suggestion you apply yourself, in your own software.

Calibration

Scores are anchored to real judged results, contributed by photographers who've had prints scored — not just a generic 1–10 scale.

Your data

Runs on Anthropic's API, not the consumer chat app — which means nothing you submit is used to train anything.

Why contribute a score

The critique tool is only as good as the real scores behind it.

When you submit a photo alongside a score it actually received from a real club judge or PAGB panel, that pairing becomes part of the evidence Loupe uses to calibrate everyone's critiques — including your own next one. A handful of real, varied examples teaches the tool far more than any single "perfect" shot ever could.

Contributing takes under a minute. Faces are automatically blurred before anything uploads, and each person can contribute up to five examples at a time — oldest replaced first as new ones come in. Nobody, including other members, can browse the pool directly; it's used only to inform scoring, never displayed.
