Plan. Cull. Edit. Fovea combines lightning-fast AI-culling with a precision develop module and integrated shot tracking.
"Ran a photo batch from today in Fovea, and then ran it in AfterShoot. For most photo groups, Fovea chose the better photo by far. Especially, when it came to candids. And Fovea also avoided picking those accidental photos - things like when I click the shutter button and take a photo of the floor. So kudos to already making it better in that regard!"
