How it works

Card to client in four steps.

Built for the bathroom-break window between sets. Drag, cull, color, deliver — without leaving your chair at the reception.

01

Drop the card

Drag the RAW folder into PRO LAOUTS Studio. We read the embedded JPEG previews locally — your RAWs never leave your laptop.

~10 sec
02

Auto cull

Heroes, keepers, duplicates, blurry, blinks — all sorted with the right star and color label. One click per category to grab.

~3 min
03

Your preset

Upload your Lightroom preset. We apply it identically — exposure, contrast, tone curve, HSL, color grading. No AI approximation.

~30 sec
04

Send to Lightroom

One folder of XMP sidecars with stars + color labels + preset + horizon. Drag into Lightroom. Catalog updates instantly. Export.

~5 sec

Your style, untouched

Your preset, applied identically.

Generic culling tools approximate your look with ML. We don't approximate. We read your Lightroom preset's actual XMP — exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, vibrance, tone curve, HSL, color grading — and run the same math Lightroom runs.

Pixel-identical to what you'd get if you applied the preset in LR yourself. The image you trained your eye on for years.

Star-rated, color-labeled

Grab any category as a bundle.

Every photo gets a Lightroom-native star rating and color label baked into the XMP. Heroes are 5-star+ blue. Keepers are 5-star green. Duplicates are 3-star yellow alternates. Blurry frames are red rejects. Blinks are purple.

Pick a category. Click Grab. Drop into Lightroom. Done.

Dial the cull strictness. Recount instantly.

Permissive cull for personal projects, surgical cull for paid clients — the same set of frames, two different cuts. Drag the slider, every category recounts in real time. No re-running, no starting over.

Your setting saves between shoots. We remember the strictness that fits your taste.

The pain

Your client wants the photos now.
You want to be back at the event.

The wait between shoot and delivery is where excitement dies. Demanding clients expect highlights before they leave the venue — but every minute you spend hunched over a laptop is a minute you're not on the floor capturing the next moment.

What we collapse

Cull, color, and Lightroom hand-off — all on one screen.

Pull your card during a five-minute break. PRO LAOUTS Studio reads the embedded JPEG previews locally, runs the cull, applies your Lightroom preset pixel-identically, and writes a folder of XMP sidecars you can drag straight into your catalog.

One browser tab. No install. No upload. Eleven minutes from card to client — while the moment is still hot.

Questions

Answered plainly.

Do my RAWs upload anywhere?
No. PRO LAOUTS Studio reads the embedded JPEG previews from your RAW files locally in your browser. The full RAWs never leave your laptop. We don't see them, we don't store them, we couldn't if we tried.
Will it work with my Lightroom catalog?
Yes. We export XMP sidecars with star ratings, color labels, develop settings, and horizon adjustments. Lightroom reads XMPs natively — drag the folder into your catalog and every change appears instantly.
Which RAW formats are supported?
Canon CR3, Nikon NEF, Sony ARW, Fujifilm RAF, Panasonic RW2, Adobe DNG. We're using libraw under the hood so coverage matches Lightroom's. If your camera shoots DNG you're already covered.
Will my preset look exactly the same as it does in Lightroom?
Yes. We don't approximate or train — we read the actual Lightroom preset XMP and run the same image-processing math Lightroom does. Pixel-identical to applying the preset in LR yourself. No surprises, no learning curve, the image you've trained your eye on for years.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Monthly billing, cancel from your account in two clicks. The 30-day free trial requires no card up front.
