Culling or selecting your images is important and every photographer will need to develop their own system. Today I am going to explain what culling is and how you can develop a system of your own. I will share what I use to cull my images but keep in mind that you can use any software that can preview your files and allow you to make a selection. I caution you to use a piece of software that is in your workflow already and try not to add new software into the mix. Stay creative and enjoy the show.
