Our verdict on Vantage
Vantage is desktop photo-culling software for photographers working with RAW and JPEG shoots on Windows and macOS. It uses AI scoring based on composition, light, angle, and subject sharpness, then groups near-duplicates and bursts to help identify hero frames. Manual review remains part of the workflow, with keyboard actions for keeping, rejecting, rating, and color labeling. The product is positioned for automotive, property, weddings, events, portraits, and personal photo archives.
The published plan is Vantage at £15.99 per month, billed monthly, with unlimited shoots, local and cloud processing, automatic burst grouping, grading, retouching, plate and face blur, natural-language search, and Lightroom export. Culling can run locally on Mac and Windows, while cloud processing is optional. The Lightroom connection supports XMP sidecars and catalog export, giving photographers a direct path into an established editing workflow. Private galleries add password, expiry, and download controls for client delivery.
Vantage covers more than frame selection: it combines AI scoring, RAW preview, burst grouping, batch grading, straightening, blurring, search, and gallery publishing in one desktop subscription. Its broad file support includes CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, RW2, and DNG. It should suit photographers who want AI-assisted selection alongside Lightroom and client galleries, particularly when offline or local processing matters. Photographers seeking a free entry tier, integrations beyond Lightroom, or software outside an early-access/beta release should consider another option.
