Photographer accumulates excessive RAW files causing storage and organization overwhelm, and struggles with time-consuming manual sorting and decision-making on which files to keep or delete.
Existing file management and photo editing software do not provide smart, automated tools for culling and archiving RAW files based on usage, edits, or user-defined rules, forcing manual sorting.
