Minkrop is the part between the shoot and the delivery: it groups the bursts, crops on the action and straightens the horizon on the frames you keep. You decide; the tool does the repetitive work. Everything below is the real app.
Put the card in the computer and open the folder with the match, or with the whole weekend. Minkrop reads the files and shows them as bursts and matches, so you don't hunt for where one ends and the next begins.
Your originals are only read. Whatever Minkrop makes is a new file, written to the export folder you choose.
Every photographer picks differently, so there are three flows. The photos you already starred in camera always stay.
Minkrop goes through the photos, finds where the action is and prepares the crop and the angle for each frame you keep. Meanwhile you can do something else.
In Automatic, an AI model can help propose the frames from a burst. It is an assistant: every proposal can be changed.
Frames come grouped in bursts. Picked frames stay in colour with an outline, the rest fall to black and white. In a burst you pick the frame you want, and the others step back.
The crop follows the action and sits on the rule of thirds, with boxes for the subject and the other players. Choose how it frames: Auto on subject, Full frame, Like my edits, or Fit the whole group, and how tight: normal, tight or max.
Don't like it? Move the crop or change the angle. The last word is yours, on every photo.
The horizon is levelled only on the frames you picked, so no time goes on the ones you won't deliver. Before and After shows the original with the tilted crop next to the finished frame.
Export the picked RAW files with an .xmp next to each, so the angle and the crop show up in Lightroom, or write cropped JPEGs. Before anything is written you see what is about to happen.
Send to Lightroom opens the result in Adobe Lightroom. Nothing new to learn: you carry on in the program you already use.
Measured by us on a PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 graphics card. Your computer can differ: Settings › Speed measures it on your own photos.
Minkrop runs on your computer, AI included. Your photos are not uploaded anywhere; the app talks to our server only to check your licence and look for updates.
Originals are never touched, and at the end Minkrop checks and tells you so. Works on Windows 10 and 11 and on macOS, in 9 languages.
