Optyx has made culling so much simpler, fast and even fun! It blows my mind every time I use it. Please don’t ever take Optyx away from me.

Optyx completely upgraded my workflow. I’ve been so impressed with the autogroup and culling features that have sped up my wedding culling process from several days to a single session.

This program is 10000% worth every penny – if you aren’t using it yet, you’re just wasting time! Do yourself a favor and make it part of your streamlined workflow!

Optyx solved one of my least favorite parts about editing wedding photos. Culling has become efficient and streamlined since I started using it.

It’s awesome! Do the culling in @OptyxApp then import only the selects + create a catalog for each shoot. Every time you open a catalog is pretty much all final pics. 10/10 would recommend.

It easily pinpointed the best of the best, making culling a matter of seconds rather than hours. Better yet, it seamlessly integrates with Lightroom, so I don’t have change my normal workflow.
