SUMMARY

It organizes shoots by scene, ranks each frame based on focus and expression using AI, and provides transparency on its rankings. The software features AI First Pass for initial sorting, Survey Mode for comparing near-identical frames, and Face Assessments to check eye state and focus on individuals. Key Element Detection handles shots without people, and People Filter allows users to track specific individuals within a shoot. Post-culling features include AI Presets and Batch Apply Crop, with seamless import into editing software like Lightroom.
