A collection of scripts used for managing photos
Project description
photo-sorter.py
master | develop |
---|---|
This is a python script to automatically sort photos from a Canon camera. In principle, this should also work with other directories containing images, but it is primarily done for the Canon Powershot G7 X's image structure.
The script assumes a directory structure like this;
- DCIM
-- images&videos_1
-- images&videos_2
-- ...
-- images&videos_n
-- CANONMSC (optional, will be deleted)
What does the script do?
1. Set up new folder structure
First, it will create a new directory structure like so:
- DCIM
-- Images
--- Raw
--- High Quality
--- Low Quality
-- Videos
and move all relevant image and video files in the directories.
- Raw files (.CR2) will be put into the
Images/Raw
directory - JPG files will be put into the
Images/High Quality
directory - MP4 files will be put into the
Videos
directory
2. Look for missing JPG files
If Raw files exist without a corresponding JPG file, the .CR2 file's
preview image will be extracted and equiped with the same exif data as
the .CR2 file and stored in the Images/High Quality
folder.
3. Rename according to exif data
All image files will be renamed according to their exif timestamp. The
file names will follow the format YY-MM-DD---hh-mm--ss
4. Create lower quality JPG files
All High Quality JPG files are converted down to ~1080p (1920x1080 / 1080x1920)
and put into the Images/Low Quality
folder
Optional: Merge
If more than one directory is passed as an argument, These directories are first
processed with Steps 1-4 indivdually and then merged. The resulting folder will
be called Merged
How do I use this script?
Just call the script using
photo-sorter <directory 1> <directory 2> ... <directory n>
.
This will process each directory individually and then merge them together.
