BridgeLite is a fast photo culling app built for photographers who shoot raw + jpg simultaneously. Designed for high-volume shooting โ€” events, travel, sports, weddings โ€” BridgeLite helps you quickly decide which shots to keep. After culling, hand off your picks to Lightroom or any other editing app in seconds. **Treat raw + jpg as one shot** Automatically pairs raw and jpg files from the same shot. Switch between them seamlessly with one tap to compare before rating. **Fast Thumbnail Browsing** Prioritizes embedded thumbnails for instant loading, even in folders with hundreds of shots. Scroll smoothly and filter on the fly. **Star Ratings & Color Labels** Rate shots 1โ€“5 stars and apply color labels, written to XMP sidecar files. Fully compatible with Lightroom, Capture One, and other professional tools. **Powerful Filtering** Filter by aperture, shutter speed, focal length, rating, file type, or date โ€” focus on exactly what you need, like showing only unrated shots to work through a backlog efficiently. --- Perfect for: โ€ข Photographers who shoot raw + jpg simultaneously โ€ข High-volume shooters: events, weddings, travel, sports โ€ข Anyone who finds Lightroom too heavy just for selecting photos --- **Requirements & Notes** To browse photos on an SD card, a Lightning or USB-C SD card reader adapter is required (sold separately). Files accessible through the standard Files app can also be browsed directly. Please note that reading from SD cards or low-speed connections such as USB 2.0 ports may result in reduced performance due to transfer speed limitations. For best performance, iPhone Pro models with USB 3.0 are recommended.
