Summary
Selekt is a desktop photo library manager for photographers, combining import, organization, culling, rating, RAW processing and tagging. It groups bursts, similar frames and duplicates for comparison, and on-device scoring checks focus, exposure and blur using profiles for weddings, portraits, sports and events. Optional cloud analysis can flag closed eyes, create face close-ups and tag subjects and scenes for search. Import, manual culling and export work offline; cloud AI, sync and client proofing need an internet connection. Selekt runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs, plus 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, and supports camera RAW formats including CR2/CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, RW2, ORF, PEF, SRW and DNG, along with JPEG, TIFF, PNG, HEIC and HEIF. XMP sidecars can be exported for Lightroom Classic, Capture One and Adobe Bridge. Importing, culling and exporting do not require sign-in; a free account enables AI scoring and grouping. The free plan includes cloud AI for 100 photos/month and 1 GB sync and client proofing. Pro is 16.00 AUD per month.
