Every shoot, every backup drive, one search away.
Years of shoots sprawl across a pile of backup drives. GetFerret catalogs them all, so you find the frame and know exactly where it lives, even on a drive sitting in a drawer.
A client asks for a photo from a wedding three years ago. It is on one of a dozen backup drives, and you cannot remember which. Spotlight only sees the drive that happens to be plugged in, so finding it means a plugging-in marathon. There is a better way to remember.
One catalog of every drive you have ever backed up to.
GetFerret keeps a local record of every drive it has seen, and every photo on it. Search it all at once, even the drives that are unplugged.
Search unplugged drives
Find a frame across years of backups without hunting drive by drive. A disconnected hit tells you which drive it is on, and even which drawer you stored it in.
Search by camera, date & location
GetFerret reads each photo's metadata as it catalogs, so you can filter to shots from a specific camera, a given year, or the frames that carry GPS. Your archive becomes searchable, not just listed.
Thumbnails, even offline
See what a file is without mounting its drive. GetFerret keeps a thumbnail for cataloged photos, so an unplugged archive still shows you the picture.
Find duplicates across drives
See the same shot sitting on three backups, ranked by the biggest space wasters, and clear the copies you do not need. Content-verified, so it is never fooled by a rename.
Gather a shoot as a Nest, export it as a clean folder.
Nests are virtual collections above your folders. Pull the selects for one client out of a year of shoots into a single Nest, no copying, no duplicates. When it is time to deliver, export the Nest as a tidy folder or zip. Tag by client, Stash your active jobs, and let a Smart Collection keep your latest work in one place automatically.
Know every gallery is still safe on both drives.
Ferret keeps a fingerprint of every file it catalogs, then checks your backup drives against each other and flags any photo that has quietly gone bad or lives in only one place. Find out a raw is corrupt now, not the day a client asks for a reprint.
