Born from real field work.
SelectB started from the slowest part of wildlife photography: returning home with thousands of frames and finding the few worth editing.
Read the storyWildlife photography culling software for bird and safari photographers.
Select the best.Discard the rest.
AI recommends. You decide. SelectB helps wildlife photographers review large RAW and JPEG shoots, compare burst sequences and move the strongest frames toward Lightroom without surrendering creative control.
Built for the wildlife workflow
Cull bird, wildlife and safari photographs with more context.
Generic photo review tools are not designed around long bursts, hidden subjects, clipped wings, small birds, difficult backgrounds and thousands of near-identical RAW files. SelectB is being built specifically for wildlife photography culling while keeping every final decision with the photographer.
Why SelectB
Built around real wildlife review work.
SelectB focuses on sequence review, difficult subjects and photographer control—not generic image sorting.
OFF
Runs entirely on your computer.
Local review workflow with no automatic upload of your original photographs.
RAW
Native RAW and JPEG workflow.
Designed for large folders from Nikon, Canon, Sony and other camera systems.
SEQ
Groups similar images into sequences.
Compare frames from the same sighting or burst without hiding the rest.
BUR
Finds the strongest frame in a burst.
Best-of-sequence is visible, explainable and separate from final selection.
CMP
Compare similar images side by side.
Review focus, exposure, composition and AI reasons before choosing.
XMP
Exports into your Lightroom workflow.
XMP ratings, selected folders, review folders, reject folders and CSV reports.
YOU
You remain in control.
Every AI suggestion can be changed before export.
REP
Clear reports for every session.
Track decisions, scores, sequence groups and export results.
AI
Improves with corrected examples.
Owner and community feedback can help future AI models learn from real mistakes.
Product
A desktop workspace, not a black-box AI button.
The app shows the recommendation, the sequence, the image context and the final decision before anything is exported.
01 / Review workspace
Inspect each recommendation before you commit.
Review AI scores, image status, sequence information and annotations in one workspace.
Outcome: faster first-pass review without hiding the reasoning.
- Large preview with annotation support
- Filmstrip and table-based review
- Select, Review and Reject decisions
02 / Compare mode
Make close calls with both images visible.
Side-by-side comparison helps you choose between similar sharp frames without jumping between files.
Outcome: choose the better frame without flipping back and forth.
- Compare focus and composition
- Keep left, keep right or keep both
- Designed for burst-heavy folders
03 / Sequence review
Find the best frame without losing the sequence.
Similar frames are grouped so the strongest image can be suggested while all alternates remain visible.
Outcome: review a sequence once instead of judging every near-duplicate separately.
- One suggested best frame per sequence
- Weak best frames can remain in Review
- Photographer override supported
04 / Filmstrip navigation
Move quickly through thousands of frames.
The filmstrip gives visual context while you inspect each image in the main preview.
Outcome: keep your place across hundreds or thousands of frames.
- Current image and status visible
- Fast navigation across similar frames
- Works with manual decision changes
Photographer Control
AI recommends. You decide.
SelectB is designed to reduce repetitive review work, not replace judgment. Every recommendation remains visible and reversible.
Explainable recommendationsScores, decisions and sequence ranks are visible before export.
Manual overridesMove files between Select, Review and Reject whenever the AI is wrong.
Training feedbackCorrected examples can help future models improve without automatic image upload.
Wildlife-specific problems
Sharpness alone is not enough.
Wildlife culling needs to account for real field conditions that generic photo sorters often miss.
Small birds in dense backgrounds.
Subject size, focus and visibility matter more than generic image scores.
Animals behind grass and branches.
Obstruction and head visibility can decide whether an image is usable.
Hundreds of similar burst frames.
Sequence review reduces repetitive comparisons without hiding choices.
Multiple subjects in one frame.
The app must avoid choosing the wrong bird or a soft background subject.
