The keepers, right away.

Keeps up with your hand.

• 1key for every mark

  1–5 for stars, 6–9 for colors, P to pick, X to reject: Lightroom's keys. Hold ⇧ to mark and move to the next photo.

• Zand you're at 100%

  One pixel of the photo for one pixel of the screen. Stay on a photo and Selects develops the sharp RAW while you look.

• 0photos changed

  Selects only reads them. The marks go into the XMP sidecars next to the RAW files, and every rating is saved at once.

No promised timings: in the big photo, the I key shows how long the photo took to appear, on your Mac.

Choosing, without waiting.

From the memory card to the client's selection. The photos stay as they are: only the marks change.

• Every photo, big at once

  Selects shows the preview that's already inside the file, at the size of your screen. The RAW is developed only when you zoom in and stay on a photo.

• The keys you already know

  Stars, colors, picks and rejects with Lightroom's keys. In the grid they apply to every selected photo, and ⌘Z always undoes.

• Brackets and panoramas, stacked

  The shots of an exposure bracket become one cell. Panoramas come as a proposal, for you to check. Return opens the stack, Esc closes it, and a star on the stack applies to every frame.

• Two cameras, one clock

  One body was two minutes behind? Selects finds the same scene taken with both cameras and proposes the difference. You accept, and the photos fall back into their real order. The correction applies in RawLine Rename too.

• The photos your client chose

  Paste the list of names from Pixieset, PhotoShelter or an email. Selects finds the photos and tells you which names are missing; Show and Assign gives them all stars, a color or a pick in one go.

• Rejects, set aside

  When you close the tab, Selects asks whether to move them to a _Scartate folder or to the Trash, each with its twin and its XMP files. Nothing is ever deleted for good, and they come back whenever you want.

Three steps, always the same.

1. Open the folderFrom the sidebar, as in Photo Mechanic. A memory card works too, before you import.
2. Look and markSpace opens the big photo, the arrows move on. 1–5, 6–9, P and X mark it.
3. Go on in LightroomImport the folder: the marks of the RAW files are already in their XMP sidecars.

2. Double-click to open it.macOS warns that it can't verify the developer. Click Done.
3. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security.At the bottom of the page, next to RawLine Selects, click Open Anyway and confirm.
4. Done.From then on it opens like any other app, and it offers new betas on its own.
