First, did you build this project to solve a personal pain point OR was it just a fun technical challenge?
First, did you build this project to solve a personal pain point OR was it just a fun technical challenge? If the former, great, continue on. If the latter, your first order of business is to find out if this solves a pain point for anyone . If it doesn't, you don't have a business. Next, start getting in front of people you think might be customers, talking to them, showing them a demo, and showing them where they'd save time and/or money. Having working in the photography space, my hunch is that you're unlikely to have success selling this to consumers or even smaller companies (I could be wrong and not understand your product). Two other things to chew on: This might be a project you open-source and then provide a "premium" level on top of (premium support or help with installation). I know HN is generally against software patents, but this might be a situation where you could get a patent and that could help you license the technology. IANAL and JPEG has/had its own patents but it might be worth investigating.
