Manual photo culling takes too much time. After a long shoot, you face hundreds of RAW files. You spend hours flagging blurry shots or closed eyes. This work takes time away from your creative editing. AI batch import solves this problem.
The principle is simple. You let AI evaluate images as they arrive. The software checks for sharpness, eye closure, and composition. It rejects or labels files before you touch your mouse. You set rules once. The software then builds a smart collection of your best shots. This turns repetitive clicking into creative decision making.
A wedding photographer returns with a 50GB card. They plug the card into a laptop and run Photo Mechanic with the AI Culling plugin. Within minutes, the software moves the files and creates a smart collection that already excludes blurry images.
Follow these steps to automate your workflow:
Set up your AI tool. Install Photo Mechanic and add the AI Culling plugin. Configure your rules for sharpness and blink detection once for each event type.
Define import presets. Choose a base develop preset for your event. Apply metadata and set your folder structure so files land in the right place automatically.
Run the ingest. Start the import and enable the AI culling feature. The software moves and labels your files. You then review the high quality collection and begin editing.
Automating your first pass saves hours of manual work. A single repeatable step during import produces a ready to review collection. You can focus on your clients instead of tedious sorting.
