If I understood your question correctly, you are looking for a tool to reduce the time spent during the culling process.

You can use software like FilterPixel to cull your photos automatically. (Full disclosure, I am the founder and CEO of FilterPixel)

How does this work?

Step 1:

Import Files & Create Your Project

When you come from a photo shoot, you can create a project & can drag and drop the folder containing Raw Files or JPEG's into FilterPixel App.

Step 2:

Use AI To Filter Out Bad Photos

The app automatically find photos with less focus quality & eye quality and filter them out into accepted, rejected, warnings & unlabelled.

1. Accepted: FilterPixel AI provides control to the photographer to accept any photo, so it doesn't accept any photo by default.

2. Rejected: Photos that are completely out of focus & have closed eyes are classified into rejected view automatically.

3. Warnings: Photos with minor quality issues such as soft focus are classified into warning view automatically.

4. Unlabelled: Photos without any issues are classified into Unlabelled view automatically.

Step 3:

Quickly Select Your Best Photos With AI Metrics & FaceViews

Every photo is provided with a quality metrics which can be used to narrow down your selections.

Step 4:

Export Photos to Lightroom or Local Folder

After your culling is done, you can export your photos to Lightroom or to a local folder on your hardrive.
