Instant RAW grid
Open a folder of 1,000+ RAW files and see the shoot — not a progress bar.
How it works · Cull Me uP
The folder is the starting point.
No import, no catalog, no waiting room. Cull Me uP opens the folder where the shoot already lives and decodes RAW files fast enough that the grid simply appears.
Under the hood, CMP Turbo decoding reads what is needed for honest review and nothing more. A 1,418-RAW folder that takes 104.74 seconds to open on a classic decoding path becomes usable in 34.54 seconds — and a 153-RAW set in 2.28 seconds. The numbers live in the open, in the Performance Lab.
Why it matters
Speed protects attention.
Every second between « I want to see the shoot » and « I am seeing the shoot » costs momentum — and momentum is what makes the first pass happen tonight instead of next week.
The grid is not a thumbnail wall: it is the contact sheet of the 21st century. It must arrive while your eye is still fresh.
See it in the full gesture.
Instant RAW grid is one piece of the Light Table. The whole first pass is what changes the workflow.
