Lightroom Plugins
Plugins for Lightroom Classic that take on the unglamorous work of a large library: finding the photographs you already have twice, counting what you actually hold, checking capture dates against their folders, putting missing files back where the catalog expects them, and naming the people in a photograph and the place it was taken.

Finds the photographs you already have twice — the burst frames, the re-export at a different size, the re-edit — by comparing what the images look like rather than the bytes they contain, and gathers each group into a collection.
Tells you what a selection actually holds — how many RAW files, how many HEIC, how many in formats the rest of your workflow cannot read — and can check the HEIC files among them for ones that no longer open as HEIC at all.
If your photographs live in folders named by year, the folder is a second opinion on when each one was taken. This compares the two and gathers every disagreement into collections, without changing a single capture date.
Lightroom marks a photo as missing when the file moves out from under it. This searches the folders you point it at for files matching those photos and puts them back at the paths the catalog still expects.
Finds faces in the photographs you select, learns who people are only from the faces you confirm, and applies the person keywords you already use — on your own Mac, with no cloud service, and nothing written until you press apply.
City names are rarely the answer. This reads a photograph’s GPS position, asks OpenStreetMap what is actually there, and proposes the specific landmark — the temple, not the province — for you to approve before anything is written.
