Hey @loganlamar! My culling process is pretty similar to @dfrazer’s but not quite as in depth. I go through pretty quickly and flag photos I want to edit, and then as I’m going through and editing, I’ll give them star ratings (I do 5 for great, 3 for nice and 1 for fair) as needed. My process is still in need of refinement though, and I just might implement some of David’s ideas he laid out here. I give photos that need extra work (i.e. Photoshop) a red label as well.
Just wanted to add…As far as editing large quantities of photos quickly, I don’t know if your editing software has this feature but in Lightroom, you can synchronize edits between photos. This is SUPER helpful when you have a large batch. I sync edits between similar photos and then just make minor tweaks as needed. It’s a feature that has definitely saved me a lot of time in editing.
