What Lightpanel Does for You

Once you’ve installed Lightpanel and run your image analysis inside Lightroom, it automatically sorts your shoot into categories like:

  • Duplicates

  • Eyes closed

  • Blurry

For this walkthrough, we’re focusing on duplicates—the subtle variations that clog up your workflow and make decision-making harder.

Step-by-Step: Culling Duplicates in Lightroom with Lightpanel

  1. Analyze Your Shoot
    Open your wedding gallery in Lightroom, launch Lightpanel, and let it analyze the entire shoot. Once finished, you’ll see groupings such as “duplicates” appear.

  2. Jump to Duplicates
    Click on “Dupes” to activate Survey View in Lightroom. This lets you see groups of similar shots side-by-side.

  3. Use Stars to Select Favorites

    • Navigate within groups using your arrow keys

    • Use Command + Arrow to jump between groups

    • Mark your favorites with 5-star ratings
      These are your selects and will be grouped together for easy access later.

  4. Sort by Rating for Final Review
    Switch to Grid View in Lightroom, then:

    • Go to the Sort dropdown

    • Select “Rating”
      Now, all your 5-star selects float to the top—ready for quick review or export.

Why This Workflow Matters

5 minutes of setup using Lightpanel can easily save you 5+ hours a week during peak season. Multiply that by the number of weddings you shoot, and it becomes a game-changer.

No more zooming in and out of frames or toggling endlessly between similar shots. Lightpanel gets you from overwhelmed to organized—fast.

Final Export Made Easy

Once your selects are sorted, just highlight them and use your regular Lightroom export workflow to deliver polished galleries to your clients, faster than ever.
