Organising photos by colour

Tigjaw · 4 May 2023 at 18:35

So, strange request, but I'm wondering if there's some photo album software that can arrange photos by colour according to the most prominent colours in the image (rather than by the average).

I create a lot of grids, organising photos of similar hue into rows, but I have thousands of photos and it would be unbelievably useful if some software could help me do it.
The closest I've found is a now obsolete app called ImageSorterv4. It still works but it's very slow and doesn't quite fit the bill.

Any suggestions?

I think people do it to create mosaics. I'll have a look at my old apps.

ohh yeah that's a great shout. If you find anything, let me know, and I'll explore than avenue in the meantime too.

Flickr does it kinda. Couldn't find anything else.

Long time since I worked with photos and graphics like that.

You're a legend, thanks mate. If I can't get any of those softwares to work for me, looks like I might try making my own!
