What software do you use for culling photos?

We use different software for culling photos. It really depends on how you’re going to deliver your photos for culling to us. We cull photos with Lightroom and PhotoMechanic. The easiest way to get your photos to us for culling is by creating a Smart Preview Catalog in Lightroom. This way you can send thousands of photo for both culling and editing in a few minutes by uploading to the cloud. We really recommend this way because this is by far the easiest and fastest way.

If you don’t use Lightroom and have a good internet connection, you might consider uploading your photos with FromSmash. When we receive and have downloaded all your RAW files we’re going to cull your photos in PhotoMechanic.

While PhotoMechanic is way more advanced and faster for culling photos, it is way harder to get around 100GB of wedding photos to us overnight. That’s why we really recommend you using a Lightroom Smart Preview Catalog for outsourcing your photo culling.
