The first time you open Cullibrate you'll see three things: the workspace, the ingest bar at the top, and the mode picker on the left.
The workspace
The center pane is where your photos live. It changes depending on the review mode you pick (Grid, Zoom, Survey, Face survey, Filmstrip). We'll cover each in Culling basics.
The ingest bar
The top bar is how photos get into Cullibrate. You can Open in Place (work from an existing folder) or Copy From Card (bring photos onto your machine first).
The mode picker
On the left side you can switch between Manual, AI-assisted, and Auto-Cull. This is a per-shoot decision — Cullibrate doesn't force you into one.
