Thanks for the feedback! Any tip on how to make that button more salient?


It looks like a dropdown / <select> box.


Well depending on the picture it may give you very direct tips on what criteria to improve, especially on low score photos (<5).


Fair enough! Few specific issues:

- Can't add pictures to the hall of fame after the fact.

- Can't remove pictures from the hall of fame.

- Re-uploading a ribbon picture doesn't work.


Well these are mostly intended, but are kind of leftover of the phase where we had no user authentication implemented. You can still delete pictures from your profile (https://keegan.regaind.io/profile), that will remove them from Hall of Fame as well. Your ribbon shows there by the way! (ribbons are implemented as one time events which depend on your user status, and are not stored alongside the picture. maybe we could fix that)

Thanks for the report tho, I'll see what we can do for reenabling the hall of fame button after the first show!


Well done :p gaming AI systems is always great fun ^^



Full red gets only 1.9 but... 82% in composition!

Hey there! I'm Regaind's CTO and will be happy to answer your questions :) We built this as a coaching tool aimed at helping amateurs take better photos, in the context of building a smart and flexible automatic roll curation system that goes beyond the "bad exposition/motion blur detection" that's often used. The end goal is to fluidify the use of photos by killing the last bottleneck: sorting.


I haven't seen any comments that I would classify as coaching. Instead they seem to be simple critiques.

"Overall, this image is good, but it could be great." https://keegan.regaind.io/p/whFZsOsRRfG4sRBGCDiA7g

"The blur and the subject together, so good. " https://keegan.regaind.io/p/HopS2XrnSmGhXiMg6AFoLA

"This is a solid image." https://keegan.regaind.io/p/USKPgJgfRE-h_n7rh2QnHg

"So simple, but so good" https://keegan.regaind.io/p/xbQHksWyRsOPWhW3hhs6RA

Don't get me wrong, I think this is pretty cool, but there is no real actionable feedback, so there unless you can guess as to what triggers the higher scores, there isn't much coaching, so much as "gaming" the AI.


Hey there, Coaching/advice is provided when you score much lower than that! We kinda don't take the risk of telling you "improve your composition" when the overall picture looks good and the non-standard composition may actually be what makes it work so well. Just a few examples with coaching: https://keegan.regaind.io/p/ne5Xql3LQ4Wcp3lNTwpA3A https://keegan.regaind.io/p/JAi7xXNsSw6CLzALqmdNpQ https://keegan.regaind.io/p/RA1BIfwLTwmdo44ACxsctg


Makes sense.

My bias as an Asian American: I translate a 7.4 to a 74/100 to a C, which is not a good grade, hence a desire to see coaching to achieve a score of 9.8 and above.


Fun how it saw the good timing but put such a low score. Keegan is tough with low-light photos overall. Gotta improve that!

Thanks, gotta investigate :)


The scores range is explained in the modal, 5 is for decent pictures, 7-8 for great ones, 9 for exceptional ones. Your average is really good, and all the scores you got are pretty good as well, congratulations! Keegan definitely makes much worse mistakes than these ^^ Ribbons are one time events that have very different thresholds for happening, if you already got a given ribbon on one picture you won't get it again even if your new picture would be an even better fit for it!

Overall aesthetics is a very subjective subject, and getting perfectly accurate scores for it on the wide variety of photos out there is still an open challenge :)


I think it heavily dislikes the obstruding object at the bottom. Not his tastes :(


Everyone has some bad tastes at times, no ? :) But yeah, it's not perfect yet!


Actually there's absolutely no face detection in there !


No face detection? It noticed there was a baby in my picture and commented on the expression: https://keegan.regaind.io/p/XCBCz-9_TrC31c4Opa1mdQ I'm sure there are many different definitions of face detection. Care to elaborate on what kind of face detection it doesn't have?


But it loves contrast, no? Global contrast as well as local contrast.


Normal BW portrait, 8.5:

Same image with clarity upped to 100% (horrible, IMHO), 8.6:

https://keegan.regaind.io/p/JbMQUyfBTNuoAWveabPCwg


It does like contrast! Hm, the score change is sufficiently low to be within the error bars I'd say. I agree that the upped clarity is less beautiful, but it adds a nice touch of sharpness which Keegan likes a lot as well!


The first one looks too blurry to me and the second too sharp; did you try an intermediate one?


You can do a lot worse with contrast/clarity than that.


Actually it likes some pictures of the famous paintings :) "Simple but it's good" https://keegan.regaind.io/p/z7gQYuFxTTWTK00kHMuaPg


Truly impressive. I've been putting in pictures of my daughter from my phone and I think Keegan really shines at evaluating the pictures I take of my life. Sorta like a writing coach for a diary.


Thanks! This is exactly the use case :)
