No. Image files stay untouched. Ratings are stored in XMP sidecar files. The only exception is "Move Rejects to Trash …" – only after confirmation, and restorable. ## Are my photos uploaded? No. The AI analysis uses Apple's Vision framework on your device. ## Why don't stars arrive in Lightroom? For DNG, JPEG and HEIC, Lightroom does not read sidecars. Use **Share selection (⇧⌘E)** – it creates copies with embedded XMP. See [XMP and Lightroom](/cullix/reference/xmp-lightroom.md). ## Where is the AI analysis stored? In a cache per folder in the app's Application Support directory – not in the folder with your photos. ## The AI flagged a sharp image. What now? Press **U** to remove the flag. The AI only suggests; **K** shows the reasoning. ## Why don't I see all photos in the folder? Cullshot loads only the photos you chose when opening. Use the folder's context menu ("Choose Photos …") to change the selection. An active filter can also hide images – **⌘L** resets it. ## Which languages are available? German and English. ## Why is the app icon missing in the Dock? Usually several copies of Cullshot.app (for example from old Xcode builds) are registered. A clean installation, or unregistering the old copies, fixes it. ## How do I cancel my Pro subscription? Open your Apple Account settings (App Store or Settings → your name → Subscriptions), choose Cullshot Pro and cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Pro stays active until the end of the paid period. Refunds are handled by Apple. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://cullshot.gitbook.io/cullix/reference/faq.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
