# AI Culling

PhotoPicker offers a powerful AI-based photo culling tool. This feature significantly speeds up the process of selecting the best shots from thousands of images by automatically marking unsuccessful photos and suggesting the strongest ones.

## How AI Culling Works

### AI Culling analyzes each photo based on several criteria:

* Sharpness – Blurry photos are automatically marked.
* Closed Eyes – The AI detects images where subjects have their eyes closed.
* Candidates – In addition to selecting the best photos, the AI also marks potential candidates, allowing you to make the final decision.
* Duplicates – The AI can identify duplicate images and help you select the best one from a series.
* Overall Context – The model analyzes the nature of the photoshoot, body positioning, facial expressions, and emotions to recommend the most expressive and successful shots.

Our model has been tested on hundreds of real-world photoshoots and demonstrates high accuracy in practical scenarios. However, we understand that creative vision and personal taste always remain with the photographer, which is why…

## The Final Decision Is Yours

AI only makes suggestions — you choose which images to keep.

* Use the green flag to mark the photos you want to keep.
* Use the red flag to mark unsuccessful shots for quick filtering.

If the “Overwrite existing stars and color labels” option is enabled, AI results will replace your current ratings and labels. You can disable this option to preserve your manual edits.

## Pause and Resume Culling

The AI culling process can be paused at any time by tapping the “Pause” button.

To resume culling later from where it was left off, go to the AI Culling settings screen and uncheck the “Overwrite existing stars and color labels” option — this will prevent reprocessing already reviewed images and keep your previous marks.

## We’re Continuously Improving AI

The AI model in PhotoPicker already delivers excellent results, but we’re not stopping there. We are constantly training and refining it to better understand the context of the shoot, poses, emotions, and other important nuances.

If you have suggestions or examples where the AI could be improved — we’d love to hear your feedback!
