Three people, two cameras, one wedding
The owner shot the ceremony, the second shooter had the bridal prep and the dance floor, and the editor wasn't there at all. Someone has to import, someone has to edit, and someone wants the last word. Here's who does what.
Four roles
| Role | Can do | Uses a seat |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Everything, plus billing, members, and deleting archived projects for good | Yes |
| Editor | Cull, edit, retouch, build client galleries, connect a Mac, invite people up to editor | Yes |
| Reviewer | Change Keep, Review and Archive, undo decisions, pass or flag photos in the Review step | Yes |
| Client | Look at projects without changing anything; gallery guests need no account at all | No, free |
The reviewer is the role most studios have never had in a tool. An owner who wants the final say but has no time to edit can swipe through the Review pile and the edits waiting in the Review step on a phone, on the train, between shoots. A reviewer can't touch the edit, so the look stays in the editor's hands.
Seats and storage
| Plan | Price | Seats | Cloud storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | $0 | 1 | 2 GB |
| Solo | $9 | 1 | 25 GB |
| Pro | $19 | 2 | 100 GB |
| Team | $49 | 5 | 500 GB |
| Studio | $89 | 10 | 1 TB |
An extra seat is $5 a month on any plan. A pending invite holds a seat until someone accepts or you revoke it. Invites are links that last 7 days and work once; CullTone doesn't send email yet, so paste the link wherever your team already talks.
Both cards, one timeline
Both cards go into the same project. The cull grid sorts by shot time across both cameras, or by camera, or by who added the photos, and bursts are grouped on the merged timeline. If the second camera's clock ran four minutes fast, its frames of the entrance land four minutes late, in the middle of the speeches, until you fix it: the project keeps a clock offset per camera model. Our guide to syncing camera clocks shows how to measure one, and the catch with two identical bodies.
The Mac that has to stay awake
Full-resolution renders and gallery exports happen on the Mac that imported the cards. If that's the owner's MacBook, asleep in a camera bag, the editor's changes wait and the app says so. A reviewer on a phone can keep going.
Some studios will find that annoying. If your team works from three cities with no shared machine, CullTone fits you less well today. More on who works where is on the team workspaces page.
Set up the studio on a free trial
The trial is one seat for 30 days. Run a wedding you've already delivered through it yourself first; extra seats come with the larger plans once billing opens.
