Compare Culla vs. PhotoViewerPro

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.
