What is photo selection software for photographers?

Photo selection software for photographers is a tool that helps streamline the process of selecting the best images from a shoot—either by the photographer, clients, or collaborators.

·        Enables image rating, flagging, favoriting, commenting, or rejection.

·        Supports client proofing workflows (e.g., selecting images for editing or printing).

·        Often integrates with gallery, editing, or delivery tools.
