A complete FastRawViewer
alternative

This is the app I had been waiting for to handle my photo culling workflow. After trying Photo Mechanic, I found it to be far too expensive and unnecessarily complex for my needs. I then purchased FastRawViewer, which is easy to use and offers some nice features; however, its interface feels outdated and it receives very few updates. When PhotoCuller was released, it immediately stood out. It's fast, packed with useful features that are consistently being improved, and has a clean, modern interface. All of this comes at a price equivalent to about a week's worth of my morning coffees, which makes it an easy decision. Highly recommended for photographers looking for an efficient, well-designed culling solution.

I only needed 5 minutes with the free version to see how great this software is. It makes managing RAW files a breeze, and both the previews and labeling are lightning-fast!

It's fast, it's intuitive, and week after week it continues to roll out features I didn't know I needed but now can't imagine living without, like the independent side-by-side view and the fact that it maintains zoom setting while scrolling through images.

As a wildlife photographer I often go home with 4,000 to 6,000 pictures to be reviewed. With 10 to 15 pictures a second, it's easy to shoot series of 25 to 100, more or less similar, pictures of which you want to select the two or three best. Within the popular photo editors' tools, this takes a lot of time, pollutes their underlying databases, and takes away the joy of taking pictures in the first place. I looked at AI photo culling tools but, today, they are great for wedding and fashion photography, but offer very limited help for wildlife. Via a post on Reddit, I read about PhotoCuller and decided to download a trial. I love this tool as it's fast, easy to understand, has no underlying database, and has great customer support. I love the possibility to compare photos zoomed in on the subject to find the best pictures from your series. PhotoCuller is customizable to your own liking and, depending on the capabilities of your hardware, tunable to find the performance optimum. On top of all this, the price is a one-time charge, so no subscriptions or auto-renewals.

The UI felt modern and fresh, and the feature set, though missing a few things I needed, was a great starting point. Thanks to the developer who was open to feedback and suggestions from working photographers, the app quickly evolved into a powerhouse, absorbing the best features from rival apps and industry leaders, while trying to avoid their drawbacks.

I wanted something with a look as clean and powerful, but with no scanning, locking in, or bloat. PhotoCuller is the only software that truly stands out. From simply browsing photos in a beautiful interface, to culling and routing them somewhere else, it is unmatched.

PhotoCuller aligns perfectly with my preferred workflow. I only shoot in raw, often burst sequences that yield images that differ only slightly in composition, focus, and content. The culling of images to keep is the first processing step; the second step is the selection of the best raw photos to post-process with different tools. PhotoCuller's performance advantage enhances the workflow with its smart stacking, Loupe Zoom, image strip, and full view with side-by-side comparison features. The support of external editors or showing the browsed image in Finder guarantees a smooth integration with other tools in my workflow. Furthermore, PhotoCuller's routing support and intuitive content filtering options based on file type, camera, lens, ISO value, and standard culling metadata are valuable tools when browsing through the images.

PhotoCuller is a powerhouse. It's dramatically sped up my photo workflow, helping me cut down on cloud storage costs, and making it easy to back everything up to my NAS. I'm really excited about the future development plans.

After trying several culling products, I've settled on PhotoCuller as my go-to. Its speed, flag/reject features, customizable workflows, and overall usability beat everything else I tested.

I wanted an application that would not take forever to load and didn't require a monthly fee. I recently used the PhotoCuller app to screen about 5000+ photos and I found the software easy to use and it saved me hours of time. The program loaded the photos quickly and the various sorting features helped out a lot.
