Description

Culla is an innovative photo culling application designed specifically for Mac, iPhone, and iPad users, enabling photographers to efficiently sift through extensive photo collections prior to the editing process. This app allows direct access to memory cards, external drives, folders, and Photos library albums without the need to import images into a catalog, streamlining the workflow significantly. Photographers can easily keep, reject, or tag images using keyboard shortcuts or touch controls, with rejected photos being set aside rather than permanently deleted. Additionally, Smart Cull operates on the device itself, quickly identifying blurred or poorly exposed shots, grouping similar images, and assisting users in narrowing down their selection to a predetermined quantity. Tags can be saved as XMP star ratings or color labels, making them compatible with software like Lightroom, Capture One, Photo Mechanic, and darktable. Culla supports a variety of common camera RAW formats, along with JPEG and HEIC files, and functions offline without requiring an account or subscription. A single purchase from the App Store grants access to the app across Mac, iPhone, and iPad, making it a versatile tool for photographers on the go. Overall, Culla simplifies the photo reviewing process, ensuring that photographers can focus on their creative vision while efficiently managing their images.

Description

Light Studio serves as a desktop application designed for photographers and creators, enabling them to manage and edit their image collections effectively. The software can directly open Lightroom Classic catalogs or convert them into its proprietary Light catalogs, and it seamlessly integrates Lightroom presets and XMP sidecars. Users have the ability to browse their images by date, folder, or album, conduct photo searches, organize faces, manage keywords, and edit metadata, as well as batch-rename files with ease. The editing capabilities are extensive, including adjustments for exposure, color, curves, grading, detail, optics, and cropping, along with features for HDR and panorama merges. Additionally, users can utilize local masks, denoise, super resolution, and tools for removing, healing, and cloning to refine their images further. It also accommodates compatible video files, allowing them to be stored alongside photos. For advanced retouching, users can send images to Photon Studio and subsequently retrieve them back into the library. The system ensures that libraries, edits, face groups, search indexes, and local AI processing remain on the user's computer, and Light Studio is anticipated to be available for macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms in the near future. This software aims to provide a comprehensive solution for photographers seeking an efficient way to manage their creative workflow.
