Lightpanel
AI Culling Software
for Lightroom Classic - Smarter & Faster
No More Hours Wasted
Speed Up Photo Culling with Lightpanel's Automatic AI Tools
Culling photos manually is one of the biggest time commitments in high-volume photography. Professional photographers capture thousands of images per shoot, making it a tedious and time-consuming process. Manually comparing faces, checking focus, and selecting the best shots can take hours—especially for portrait and wedding jobs. Most photo culling software lacks true automation or native integration with Lightroom Classic.

Lightpanel automatically organizes images into groups, saving you from manually sorting each photo. It's a smarter, faster way to start the photo culling process inside Lightroom.
Finds and Compares Faces
Instantly zooms in on faces in every shot to help you choose the best expressions and sharpest focus. Lightpanel is the only AI culling software designed specifically to compare faces within Lightroom Classic.
Detects Closed Eyes

Automated Survey Mode
