Imagen’s Culling Studio is an in-app solution tailored for photographers to swiftly cull photos using AI.

Imagen Culling Studio’s photo culling process is based on the “Culling In” method. This is a process of adding a rating or ranking to the images you wish to keep, as opposed to “Culling Out,” which involves rejecting the images you want to discard. Users can customize their culling preferences by rating their photos with stars, colors, or flags, and choose their preferred grouping criteria based on their desired level of similarity.

Another unique advantage of the Imagen Culling Studio is the fresh and optimized perspective, allowing culling your entire catalog using previews of their edited versions. This means you can review photo previews with your preferred AI profile already applied, directly within the Culling Studio.
After making selections, move on to editing, apply your desired AI tools, and download your fully culled and edited photos.
