A Capture One workflow that starts before the catalog.
Cull Me uP gives Capture One users a fast, photographer-controlled first pass — review, cull and rate the shoot before it ever reaches a session or catalog.
Capture One workflow
Your editor was never the problem.
Capture One is excellent at development. The friction is everything before it — the thousands of RAW files waiting to be sorted while the feeling of the shoot is still fresh.
Cull Me uP sits in that gap: open the folder, see the shoot, pick the keepers and reject the noise — then hand a clean selection to Capture One, with the context intact.
Native RAW, nothing in the way
From the card to Capture One, without the import tax.
The first pass should keep the rhythm of the shoot — not break it with previews and catalogs.
01
Open RAW instantly
Thousands of files, no session to build, no catalog to import. You are on the photographs in seconds.
02
Portable ratings
Picks, rejects and star ratings travel as XMP sidecars, so your decisions arrive in Capture One with the files.
03
Your files stay yours
No copy into a proprietary library. Your folders, your structure and your originals remain exactly where they are.
04
Decide before you develop
Walk into Capture One with the keepers already chosen, so the deep work starts on the images that earned it.
Proof, not promise
Fast enough to keep the flow on big RAW folders.
The first pass only helps if it is faster than the editor's own browser. We measure it honestly.

Choose first. Then develop in Capture One.
Cull Me uP is the modern light table before the catalog: a faster, cleaner, more enjoyable first pass.
