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.

Futura Photo
Futura Photo helps the photographer before starting the post-processing steps. Smart software for automation of photo culling. Group similar images together and propose to discard most of them. Post-process only the best ones per group. Detect images wrongly exposed, and those with significant burnt or clipped parts. Detect images poorly focused, or suffering from major motion blur. The acutance tests can also be applied to blurred faces on images. When the photographer shoots on purpose with both RAW and JPG files, detect which file will be needed for the editing process and which one can be discarded or archived. Detect images with human faces having their eyes closed. Detect images part of panoramas and move them to a dedicated folder. Detect images of members of a time-lapse and group them in a dedicated folder. Can align the images when shaken by the wind or for other reasons. Detect videos and group them together in a dedicated folder.

CoolCroco
CoolCroco is a free image viewer built for one job: getting through a shoot
without waiting.
It decodes a whole folder of RAW files on background workers and holds them in
memory, so once the first pass is done you move through hundreds of frames
instantly, forwards or backwards, with no re-decoding and no cache thrashing.
Cull with one key. A files a photograph into an Approved folder, X into Rejected,
and Ctrl+Z puts it back. Nothing is ever deleted - files are only moved beside the
originals. Rate from 1 to 5, written as XMP where Lightroom, Bridge and Capture One
read it.
It reads RAW from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Leica,
Hasselblad and Phase One through LibRaw, plus HEIC, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and WebP, up to
100,000 photographs in one folder. It also finds duplicates and bursts, and
searches a shoot by what is in the pictures, entirely on your own computer.
