BurstPick
BurstPick is a desktop culling application for wildlife, bird, and action photographers who shoot RAW bursts. It reads a folder of photos, groups frames shot close together into bursts automatically, and scores every frame so the likely keeper rises to the top of each burst.
Scoring uses six criteria weighted for wildlife rather than portraits: Focus (28%), Eye Visibility (22%), Exposure (17%), Composition (17%), Noise (11%), and Context (5%). Focus measures sharpness on the detected subject rather than the whole frame; Eye Visibility checks whether the subject's eye is open, lit, and in focus; Noise is ISO-aware, tolerating grain while penalizing banding. Weights are adjustable with live re-ranking, presets can be saved and exported, and a "Calibrate from my picks" tool derives a weighting from frames you have already chosen. A per-criterion breakdown explains every score.

CullAi
Ai assistant for professional photographers to select final photos from a photoshoot. CullAi automatically treats people who appear often in photos as more important. You can override this to indicate which people are more important. Consider, for example, a wedding in which the bride and groom are more important than one of the guests who may also appear often in the photos. CullAi automatically rates all photos based on AI score to rating mapping. The AI score of a photo is calculated by taking the AI score of all faces of people in that photo and how important they are for this photoshoot. AI score of a face is a measure of a better-lit, sharper face with open eyes. Default mapping is linear and is a good starting point, but you can adjust thresholds for each Rating. If you find a lot of discrepancies in auto ratings and ratings you would have given to a photo, try adjusting these thresholds.
