I want to take a database of photos and gather information from it. I want to be able to have a list of things to check for like color, shape, content, etc. Then add weights to them based on frequency in relation to each other.
You know those programs that take 100s of faces and merge into one face that people find more attractive because it is the average if them all? I want to do much the same thing.
I have Excel, but Excel is terrible. What program do you use to weight your general information?

You already have a table with the information for each photo or you want to extract the information from the photos? The latter is much more difficult. In both cases however I'd suggest to use a scripting language like python or perl.

The former. I'll be typing out the list myself.

Noted, I just hoped there'd be something already made I could use.
what exactly are you looking to do?

Just information gathering then looking for any obvious patterns that jump out then refining variables, gather info again, repeat.

this is incredibly vague

Science isn't exactly all that exciting. Perhaps you should peruse a popsci thread instead?
>>8724886
what you are referring to is basically
Big Data, Data Mining, RDBs, Machine Learning
or CS as a whole
months ago on 4chan here someone uploaded a huge dataset about meteorological data from a japanese base on Antarctic i think it would be a funny thing to start with.
if you want it just ask i will start searching on my computers if you wanna
