The Excire/PRC team just launched a groundbreaking Lightroom Classic plugin, Excire Search 2024, which brings the company’s innovative AI image-management software directly into the Lightroom interface and is poised to change the game for Lightroom users everywhere.

You and I have communicated previously about Excire Foto 2024, which debuted back in the fall, and I’m pleased to report that the Excire team has successfully integrated the most powerful tools from the standalone program into the new Excire Search plugin. Highlights include:

• Search by Text Prompt: Instantly locate any photo in your Lightroom catalog with a simple text description.
• Intelligent aesthetics ratings: AI-powered ratings highlight your finest work for faster, easier culling.
• Enhanced auto-keywording: Excire’s intelligent, precise file tagging ensures effortless image categorization within Lightroom.
• Search for People: Find and manage photos of specific individuals using state-of-the-art facial recognition.
• Next-gen duplicate management: Streamline image culling and keep your Lightroom catalog organized by rapidly identifying duplicate files, near-duplicate files, and burst sequences.

The Excire Search 2024 plugin is an essential addition to any Lightroom user’s toolkit; with the aid of Excire’s cutting-edge image-management features, Lightroom Classic users can organize, cull, and search for images faster and more effectively than ever before.
