Pick / Reject / Maybe
One image, one gesture, next image. The whole first pass in three verbs.
How it works · Cull Me uP
Decisions at the speed of seeing.
Full-screen image, one gesture to keep, one to let go, one to come back later. Undo is always a single gesture away, so deciding never feels dangerous.
« Maybe » is the honest third state photographers actually use: not every frame deserves a verdict on the first pass. Mark it, keep moving, and let the second look settle it on iPad or Mac.
Why it matters
Rejecting the obvious is 80 % of the work.
Misfires, blinks, test frames: a fast rejection sweep shrinks a heavy folder before any hard decision is needed.
Because the gesture is light, the pass keeps its rhythm — and the keepers emerge from the shoot the way they did on a physical light table: by comparison, not by interrogation.
See it in the full gesture.
Pick / Reject / Maybe is one piece of the Light Table. The whole first pass is what changes the workflow.
