How do you deal with culling without losing your mind?
After a big shoot, the worst part is coming back to pick the best photos and edit them.
Sitting there with 1500+ RAW files and just… deciding. Keep. Reject. Keep. Reject.
I’ve tried doing everything in Lightroom. I’ve tried faster viewers. I’ve tried rating systems, stars, color labels, even some AI tools.
Every time I start simple, and then somehow it turns into overthinking.
I’ve been experimenting with stripping it down to the basics. Full screen image. Keyboard only. Make the call and move on.
Curious how ya'll approach it. Do you do multiple passes? Separate emotional picks from technical rejects? Trust AI? Or just power through in one go?
