At the moment you leave with your camera in hand, you know when you start but not when you finish. It doesn’t matter if it’s for a job or just for pure leisure, you keep pressing the shutter button until the battery or the SD card can hold out. However, the worst part comes afterward, when you have to review hundreds of photos to choose the best ones. Fortunately, with the arrival of Assisted Culling<\/strong> in the latest versions of Adobe Lightroom<\/a><\/strong>, this process will feel less burdensome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we will delve into what Assisted Culling<\/strong> is, how it works, and how you can use it as a photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n

What is Assisted Culling?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Assisted Culling<\/strong> feature is found within Adobe Lightroom<\/a><\/strong> and uses artificial intelligence to intelligently organize photographs. When using it, the program identifies<\/strong> the highest quality<\/strong> images and also highlights those that do not meet certain standards. By itself, Assisted Culling<\/strong> cannot delete photos<\/strong>, it only indicates which ones you should theoretically keep and which ones to discard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest update of Lightroom, the feature has especially improved in face detection<\/strong>, so it will be very useful if you take photographs at weddings or other social events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use Lightroom Classic<\/strong>, you will need to activate<\/strong> the feature from Edit ><\/strong> Catalog Settings > Metadata > Assisted Culling<\/strong> and check the box for Analyze photos of selected source when Assisted Culling Panel is open.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest version of Lightroom<\/strong>, you will find the option much more visible in the tool panels as soon as you open the program. It doesn’t matter whether you are working in Cloud<\/strong> or Local<\/strong>, the option will be there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use Assisted Culling in Lightroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you will see below, it is quite easy to use within the new Lightroom<\/a><\/strong>. First, start by importing your photographs<\/strong> (although you can also use a folder of photos that you have previously exported in Lightroom). You have two practically identical ways to do this: the first is to click on Add Photos,<\/strong> located in the left panel. The second, in case you do not see or the Add Photos<\/strong> button does not appear, is to go to File > Add Photos.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, you have two organization options to choose from: Cull<\/strong> and Stack<\/strong>. Cull<\/strong> will help you select the best portraits from a group of photos. With Stack<\/strong>, you can organize them according to the times they were taken or by their visual similarity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Select<\/strong> section, click on the options you prefer when analyzing the images. These are the ones available to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
