Note: Cull-to-Target is a work-in-progress feature that is still in BETA.
Sometimes you just want to see the best images from a photo session. At other times, you need a concrete number of the best images selected and ready to go.
Once you import your images, click on the Cull Tab or on the Start AI Culling button. Then select AI Automated Cull, and on the preferences screen click on the Cull to Target tab.
In Cull to Target, you decide the exact number of images the AI should select from your album. To do that, interact with the percentage slider in the middle of the screen. Note that the minimum you can set is 10% and the maximum is 60%.
The minimum is locked at 10% because Cull to Target isnât supposed to be used to deliver sneak peeks to clients. For that purpose, we recommend using Auto Target set to Few, Standard, or More, so Aftershoot can select Highlights for you. Those are perfect to be used as sneak peeks.
The approximate number of images you will get is displayed in the field above the percentage slider. You can also enter the exact number of images you want to get by clicking the field and typing it in.
Note that if you set the slider to a very low or very high percentage, the number of selected images you will get might be inaccurate.
Keep in mind that when you cull with Cull to Target, Aftershoot wonât select any Highlights. Instead, there will be a Maybes filter group under For Review.
Refer to this article to see how your workflow can benefit from the Maybe Filter Group.
After you set the Cull to Target percentage, you can further customize your cull by switching to Customized AI Cull.
After you set up these preferences, the AI will consider them when selecting the number of images you indicated on the slider.
Note: When running a Cull to Target, Detect Duplicates cannot be disabled.
