  • While the culling is in progress, you can either start culling manually in lightroom (The AI won’t override your decision) or start editing photos in the develop module parallelly.
  • After the culling process is finished, FilterLR will notify you and show you the number of photos the plugin has accepted, rejected, and untagged.
