The installation works as with Excire Search 1. Simply download the corresponding installation file for Windows or Mac OSX and execute it, or start the installation program in the corresponding DMG file.
Whenever we improve the Excire algorithms, the photos in the Lr catalogue have to be analyzed again. This is the only way we can let you benefit from novel features and improvements.
However, we have now developed a migration procedure such that you always have an Excire Search system ready to use: your photos are analyzed in the background and the database is update incrementally.
Migration is especially useful for users who have large Lightroom catalogs (more than about 100.000 photos) for which initialization may take several days. Please visit this webpage for more information on how to upgrade to Excire Search 2
You can interrupt the re-initialization and continue at any time.
There is no user manual, but we provide numerous tutorials on our website. You can also find helpful information about Excire Search in our forum.

Excire develops AI based software for fast image recognition content, now powered by the new OpenVINO™ toolkit, which is capable of delivering impressive computing and graphics performance, allowing Excire’s for fast image Initialisation. Search is based on keywords, images examples, gender recognition, age, or facial expressions.
Excire Search has become essential in building customized client-specific presentations. By using ’search by example photo‘ to find alternative photographs to those on my website, I can show fresh, unique pictures. Selecting the option of seeing 100 images from the search usually brings up enough different images, many of which I’ve forgotten, to create a fresh collection. This feature is extraordinarily useful and quite remarkable in its precision-

I just installed Excire on 80,000+ images in one of my Lightroom catalogs! Once initialized, I'm amazed at how fast it is at finding the images I'm looking for. I especially like how easy it makes the process. Search by example/photo is smokin' fast!

I’ve been dreaming of a product for my clients, students and my own work that can look at the images in my Lightroom catalogs and create quality keywords. Excire’s search tools have made the whole process much, much easier.

Being a corporate event, advertising and landscape photographer, I try to organize my photos as best as possible, but it’s not always easy to locate them after the fact. Excire Search has allowed me to quickly and easily find the images I’m looking for, no matter what the subject. It’s made a huge difference in my workflow, as it’s quick and very accurate. For anyone who has a large Lightroom Classic catalog, Excire Search is a must-have tool no matter what kind of photographer you are.
