Camera RAW & photo culling

A shoot leaves many similar frames. Opening files individually makes it harder to compare quality and keep the candidates you want, especially when RAW needs its own decoding route.

THE PRACTICAL VALUE

Why this step deserves its own workflow

Inspect supported camera RAW files and use eligible photo rating/culling tools to organise the selection. Ratings, rejection marks and filters help separate review decisions from the original image data. This is useful for choosing what deserves further editing rather than trying to replace a full RAW development studio.

A PRACTICAL SEQUENCE

Start with the material you actually need.

Check representative material before deciding how much more to process.

  1. Open a supported image collection and inspect representative files.
  2. Apply the available rating or rejection marks.
  3. Filter the selection before continuing your editing workflow.

EDITION & SCOPE

Know the scope before you commit.

RAW decoding depends on camera/file variants. Photo rating and culling require Standard or Pro; specialist RAW Free limits apply. This is not a full colour-managed RAW editor.

Free has no trial expiry: common-format reading, ordinary PDF annotations and supported ordinary document/image-to-PDF export remain available. Recognition, specialist formats and advanced tools have their own allowances or tier requirements.

Images may retain historical layouts. Demonstration books, dictionaries and media are not bundled.

A USEFUL QUESTION

Does a rejection mark mean a file is deleted?

A culling decision and a filesystem deletion are different actions. Review the actual control before removing originals.
