Cull vs Relay Camera Transfer

Cull is the fastest way to go from a full memory card to your best shots. Import a shoot, fly through your photos with keyboard shortcuts, and export your picks straight to Lightroom — all without your photos ever leaving your device. CULL FASTER THAN EVER Press P to keep, X to reject, and move to the next shot automatically. Cull hundreds of photos in minutes instead of hours. Every action has a keyboard shortcut so your hands never leave the keys. FOUR POWERFUL VIEWS • Grid — scan your entire shoot at a glance with adjustable column density • Loupe — full-screen single photo view with a floating filmstrip for quick navigation • Compare — two photos side by side to pick the better expression or moment • Burst — automatically groups burst sequences and surfaces the best frame using AI scoring ON-DEVICE AI SCORING Every photo gets an AI quality score powered by Apple Vision — running 100% locally on your Mac's Neural Engine. No cloud, no subscription, zero privacy cost. • Face shots scored on capture quality, eye openness, and focus • All other photos scored on aesthetics and sharpness • Blurry photos automatically flagged for rejection • Adjust the rejection threshold to match your standards COLOR LABELS Tag your keepers with Lightroom-compatible color labels (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple) directly in Cull. Labels carry through to Lightroom on export. EXPORT TO LIGHTROOM One click writes XMP sidecar files for all your keeps — Lightroom reads them automatically when you import, so your picks, ratings, and labels are already applied. No plugins, no manual tagging. DESIGNED FOR RAW SHOOTERS Cull works with every format your camera shoots: RAW (CR3, ARW, NEF, DNG, RW2, ORF, and more), JPEG, HEIC, and TIFF. Files stay exactly where they are on disk — Cull never copies or moves your originals. PRIVACY FIRST All AI analysis runs on your Mac using Apple's Vision framework. Your photos are never uploaded anywhere. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Pay once, cull forever. No subscription.

Relay pulls your original photos straight off your Sony camera and onto your iPhone. No cable, no card reader, no cloud, no account. HOW IT WORKS Your camera sends images over your own Wi-Fi, or over your iPhone's hotspot. Relay catches them and puts them in your library. Out in the field with no network around, the hotspot works fine — and the address stays the same every time, so you set the camera up once. ORIGINALS, NOT COPIES RAW files arrive untouched, alongside or instead of the JPEG. You choose whether you want both, RAW only or JPEG only. WHILE IT ARRIVES You see the photo while it is still coming in, with the file name and how many megabytes have landed. AFTERWARDS Browse, zoom, mark favourites, select several shots at once by swiping across them, save to Photos or pass them on through the share sheet. Relay shows up in the Files app too, so other apps can reach your shots directly. SETTING UP Pick your model and Relay shows the exact menu steps for that body — they differ from camera to camera. If something goes wrong, you can see precisely what the camera and Relay are saying to each other. PRIVACY Everything stays on your iPhone and on your own network. Relay sends nothing out, collects nothing and has no account. Works with cameras that can send images over FTP.
