Ratings & tags

Star ratings, colour labels, and tag / reject decisions — all keyboard-first.

3 min read·Updated recently

Cullibrate supports 0 – 5 stars, five colour labels, and a Tagged / Untagged / Rejected decision. That decision maps directly to Lightroom Pick / Unflagged / Reject. Every action has a keyboard shortcut and can be remapped.

Star ratings

  • 1 — apply 1 star
  • 2 — apply 2 stars
  • 3 — apply 3 stars
  • 4 — apply 4 stars
  • 5 — apply 5 stars
  • Shift0 — clear the star rating
  • Auto-advance in General preferences moves after a successful star, colour, tag, or reject change. Caps Lock enables the same behaviour while it is on.

  • X — reject
  • ShiftU — clear tag or reject

Colour labels

  • 6 — apply red
  • 7 — apply yellow
  • 8 — apply green

Bring in decisions from Lightroom Classic

When you import photos from a folder, Cullibrate also looks in the Lightroom Classic catalogs remembered on this computer for picks, stars and colour labels. It fills only decisions you have not already set; the result includes Undo.

For an existing collection, choose File → Bring In from Lightroom Classic…, review what will change, then choose Bring In. Apple Photos collections are not included, and existing Cullibrate decisions stay as they are.

Stars in a managed Apple Photos collection

In Manage Apple Photos, your first rating asks whether this collection should keep stars in Cullibrate or sync with Apple Photos. Cancel leaves the photo unchanged.
