cullnest: a local Lightroom culling plugin
A Lightroom Classic plugin for Apple Silicon Macs that analyzes photos locally and helps photographers compare similar shots while keeping distinct views.
- For
- Photographers sorting shoots in Lightroom Classic
- Worth noticing
- Groups retain at least one photo; if none meets the threshold, the highest-ranked image is kept for manual review.
Field notes
The plugin offers a choice between sharpness metrics and local MUSIQ image-quality scores, with thresholds set for the shoot. Similar-view groups can be adjusted after analysis, and changes to thresholds or grouping settings can reuse cached scores; photo or develop changes invalidate that cache. The page lists English, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Thai, with language selection inside the plugin.
