Key features

Spot blurs and blinks right away

Select shows you when faces are out of focus or blinking - so you can quickly eliminate the duds, resulting in a higher quality cull.

All the faces in one place

View closeup crops of all faces, all at once - making it a breeze to compare the same people across a series of similar images - pretty soon you’ll be culling group-shots like a boss.
