Vantage is a desktop photo-culling app that sorts shoot images into keep, review, and cut selections. It accepts camera RAW files, JPEG, and TIFF without a prior conversion step. Photographers can apply exposure, colour, and straightening adjustments to keepers in batches or individually, and search using natural language for subjects, angles, and lighting. Client galleries can be password-protected, set to expire, and offer full-size or web-size downloads. The desktop app exports Lightroom XMP sidecars and catalog data; Capture One is also listed among supported workflow names. Desktop culling runs locally by default. Vantage says originals uploaded for cloud processing are deleted when results are ready and photos are not used to train AI models. The desktop product is in early access, which Vantage says has rough edges and performs better on cars and property than weddings. The Vantage desktop plan costs £15.99/mo and includes unlimited shoots and 2.5 GB cloud storage. iPhone options include a free plan and a Pro subscription.
Who it is for
