DeepCull is FilterPixel's genre-specific AI culling engine. Unlike basic culling that picks technically sharp photos, DeepCull understands your shooting genre. Conference Mode identifies keynote moments, speaker expressions, and sponsor branding. Sports Mode recognizes peak action and sharp focus on moving subjects. Concert Mode handles the hardest lighting in photography — stage LEDs, smoke, strobes. Wedding Mode prioritizes emotional peaks and ceremony highlights. Every selection comes with a score and a reason, so you can trust AI decisions when the deadline is in 30 minutes. Each DeepCull shoot processes up to 5,500 photos.

Other AI culling tools learn your editing style and pick technically sharp images. FilterPixel understands your genre and picks the editorially right images — the keynote standing ovation with the sponsor banner in frame, the midfielder's strike at the moment of contact, the lead guitarist at the peak of the solo. Score + Reason transparency means you can see WHY every photo was selected. No black box. When you're trusting AI at midnight with a 9am deadline, you need to see the why.

One shoot = one import session in FilterPixel, up to 5,500 photos. One wedding, one conference, or one sports event each count as a single shoot. If your project has more than 5,500 photos, FilterPixel automatically splits it into multiple shoots from your monthly allocation (e.g., a 10,000-photo shoot uses 2 shoots).

Yes. Add an extra DeepCull shoot anytime for $7.99 — no subscription required, never expires, includes all genre modes and full Score + Reason transparency. Perfect for seasonal sports shooters, touring concert photographers, or anyone who wants to try DeepCull before committing.

DeepCull adapts its intelligence to your shooting genre: Conference Mode — Keynote moments, speaker expressions, audience engagement, sponsor branding visibility, networking candids. Sports Mode — Peak action, sharp focus on fast-moving subjects, game-moment relevance. Concert Mode — Mixed stage lighting quality, peak performance moments vs. transition shots, crowd energy. Wedding Mode — Emotional peaks, ceremony highlights, key family moments, reception energy.

Every photo DeepCull evaluates gets a numerical score and a text explanation of why it was selected or rejected. Example: "Score: 94. Reason: Keynote standing ovation, sponsor banner visible, audience engaged." This transparency is the trust mechanism — it lets you verify AI decisions in minutes instead of re-reviewing everything.

Buy an extra DeepCull shoot for $7.99 anytime — one-time purchase, never expires. Add-on shoots stack on top of your monthly allocation.

FilterPixel automatically splits large shoots. A 10,000-photo project uses 2 shoots from your monthly allocation. You'll see a confirmation in the app before processing starts so you know exactly how many shoots will be used.

No — unused shoots reset on the first of each billing month. Add-on shoots ($7.99) you purchase separately never expire.

Magic Number lets you tell DeepCull exactly how many selects you want from a shoot. Need 200 delivery-ready photos from 5,000 conference RAWs? Set Magic Number to 200. DeepCull returns exactly that — ranked by relevance, scored, and explained. Available on Pro and Studio plans.
