Cull Me uP
Grouping signals — bursts, similar frames, focus stacks, near-duplicates
Grouping signals — bursts, similar frames, focus stacks and near-duplicates, surfaced as cues. You pick the frame.

Cull Me uP Lab · algorithms

Signals, not verdicts.

Cull Me uP reads the shoot's structure — bursts, time gaps, similar frames, focus stacks, near-duplicates — and surfaces it as cues. It helps you see the session; it never decides which frame is the keeper.

Why it's different →

Suggested, not decided. Reversible, not destructive. The algorithm organizes attention — it doesn't replace judgment.

What the app can structure

Turn a folder into a reviewable session.

01

Time & EXIF grouping

Capture time, camera, lens and session breaks reveal the natural rhythm of the shoot — before any visual analysis.

02

Burst candidates

Likely bursts from time intervals, sequence behaviour and similarity cues. Nala finds the burst; you choose the frame.

03

Similar frames & near-duplicates

Visual repetition is grouped so you review candidates without drowning in almost-identical images.

04

Focus-stack candidates

Technical sequences that likely belong together — macro, product, landscape and controlled work.

Controls

Simple by default. Adjustable when it matters.

01

Burst sensitivity

Tune how aggressively sequences are grouped when your shooting style or camera behaviour needs it.

02

Similar-frame threshold

Keep grouping conservative for safety, or more active when the shoot is very repetitive.

03

Subject priorities

Humans, animals, birds, vehicles and other subject signals become workflow preferences — never forced decisions.

04

Simple / advanced

Light for the first pass; deeper controls available for Pro use.

Honest limits

The best frame is not always the safest one.

The strongest frame in a sequence is not always the sharpest or most conventional. That is why algorithmic output organizes attention — it never overrides the eye.

Structure makes selection lighter.

The point isn't to make the decision disappear. It's to make it easier to reach.
