Photographers and videographers need a reliable, cost-effective way to store and manage large volumes of RAW files without relying on expensive hard drives or risking data loss from memory cards.

Workarounds Described

• keeping all RAW files on hard disks
• leaving files on memory cards to avoid buying more disks

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated culling and tiered storage system that eliminates manual sorting and reduces storage costs
• Cloud-based ingest workflow that ensures safe backup before formatting memory cards

CloudCull Lightroom

CloudCull Lightroom is a subscription service that intelligently manages RAW file storage by automatically culling and compressing less-important images while keeping originals in cold cloud storage. It integrates with Lightroom and Capture One to streamline ingest, culling, and backup, eliminating the need for large local hard drives.
