Lightpanel's latest update improves AI culling, editing, and workflow speed for Lightroom Classic users.
PORTLAND, Ore., June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lightpanel Update Delivers Smarter AI Culling and Faster Lightroom Editing for High-Volume Photographers
Lightpanel, the AI assistant for Adobe Lightroom Classic designed for professional portrait and wedding photographers, today announced a powerful new update that enhances its core AI culling and AI editing features. These upgrades make it even faster and more accurate for wedding and portrait photographers to move from import to delivery—without ever leaving Lightroom Classic.
"With this update, Lightpanel gets out of your way and lets you move faster through your workflow. You'll instantly see better results and have more control," said Dan Harlacher, product visionary behind Lightpanel. "It's like working alongside an experienced assistant who already knows your workflow and style."
Smarter AI Culling: Clarity, Speed, and Accuracy
The updated culling workflow introduces two new editing states: Selects and Filtered, helping photographers quickly distinguish final delivery images from potential backups or rejects. Combined with automatic Smart Collections in Lightroom for each state, organizing jobs becomes seamless.
A new intelligent navigation mode now switches between Loupe and Survey view when duplicates are detected—allowing you to review everything in one continuous pass.
Other significant improvements include:
- Deep Analysis Mode for faster face and photo transitions
- Badges on blurry and closed-eye faces for easier rejection
- Auto column mode in the Faces Pane for less scrolling
- Duplicate group size controls for rapid shooters
- UI presets by job type (perfect for locations like churches or venues)
- Hidden advanced sliders for a cleaner interface
- More accurate duplicate detection
"Culling is the part most photographers dread, but Lightpanel now makes it intuitive and even enjoyable," said Harlacher. "You get results you trust, faster than you thought possible."
AI Develop: Better Results, Less Work
The AI-powered editing engine also receives substantial upgrades. The Auto Crop & Level and Auto Tone & Color models have been optimized further to deliver even better results, especially when working in batch workflows.
New enhancements include:
- Support for non-RAW files like JPG
- Consistent tone and color across duplicate groups
- A new Previous Edit button to apply your last Lightroom adjustment
- Per-job Quick Preset buttons to instantly apply your favorite settings
- Automatic Look thumbnail generation
"These AI edits don't just look better—they feel more consistent," Harlacher added. "It's ideal for wedding and portrait photographers delivering hundreds of images per job."
General Workflow Improvements
- A new tutorial dialog guides users step-by-step for each module
- Enhanced overall performance and stability
Together, these updates ensure that Lightpanel delivers the most advanced and efficient AI-powered editing workflow inside Lightroom Classic.
