Clean handoff (XMP)

Your decisions travel as portable XMP — into Lightroom, Capture One or DxO, without lock-in.

How it works · Cull Me uP Studio

Files stay files. Decisions stay readable.

Picks, rejects and ratings are written as standard XMP sidecars that the editing room already understands. No proprietary library between you and your work.

Open the culled session in your editor and the selection is simply there. Change tools in two years? The decisions still travel with the files.

Why it matters

The exit is part of the product.

A first-pass tool earns trust by how cleanly it lets go: no catalog trap, no export ceremony, no hostage data.

This is one of the workflow choices the Lab documents: before the editor, never instead of it.
