 Shot all weekend? Now comes the most time-consuming part: culling. Or is it?

It’s Monday, and you’re coming off a weekend packed with a holiday family photo session and an eight-hour wedding—complete with two assistant photographers. Now, you're staring down gigs upon gigs of files to sort and cull. Take a sip of that coffee (or tea), and get ready to have your mind blown—and your culling time cut in half.

I shoot a lot of wildlife. I just got back from a trip to Alaska where I got a multitude of images of bears going for the Salmon. The culling seems to work in selecting which images are sharp or blurry, but does not do much else in this type of work. I have not tried culling any of the many bird shots taken yet, but for what I understand it won’t do much in that area. I am really hoping that Adobe folks with add work with animals and bird to the Culling feature in the near future!!
