Photo culling software · limited private preview

Cull the shoot at photographer speed.

Cutflash helps compare a full shoot with attention to the subject—not just the center of the frame—while every final pick remains yours.

Availability: the video beta is open to approved Windows testers. Photo culling is still being expanded through a limited private preview, so registering does not guarantee immediate photo access.
A calm first pass

Technical signals, creative control.

Cutflash uses measured and learned evidence to organize the decision, then keeps picks, rejects, ratings, comparisons, and overrides in a keyboard-first workflow.

01 · Read

Look where the subject is

Subject-aware focus checks help distinguish a sharp person from a sharp background or empty center.

02 · Compare

Reduce bursts and near-duplicates

Similar frames are grouped so the strongest expression and sharpest subject are easier to compare.

03 · Decide

Keep the photographer in charge

Pick, reject, rate, compare, and override at keyboard speed. Your corrections teach the next cull.

Is Cutflash photo culling available to everyone?

Not yet. It is in a limited private preview while access, performance, and professional workflow coverage are being hardened.

Does Cutflash make the final picks for me?

It proposes and organizes a first pass. You can change every decision, and those overrides help your private FlashPersona learn your culling preferences.

Does culling delete my rejected photos?

No. Culling marks and organizes decisions without deleting the originals.

Can it work with RAW photos?

The private preview includes RAW-oriented ingest and preview workflows across supported camera files, with original files kept intact.
