Image search engine that finds photos on a computer based on the data contained in the EXIF meta data with support for RAW image formats.
PhotoGrok is a powerful and user friendly freeware image viewer app and digital camera tool, developed by Brad Grier for Windows.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below.
Search through photos based on their EXIF metadata
PhotoGrok was created as a small, accessible and useful tool that is able to categorize images and various other multimedia files by metadata.
By default, when looking at raw files you're seeing the preview image embedded in the file (extracted by ExifTool). It's possible to configure PhotoGrok to view RAW files using GraphicsMagick and dcraw. See below.
