When you're shooting weddings or events, you're often capturing dozens of faces in a single frame, but not every face carries equal importance.
Key Subject Highlighting helps your eye land on the people who matter most as you're reviewing images, so you're not mentally filtering every face yourself.
Currently available on macOS 14 (Apple Silicon + macOS 14 and above). Windows support is coming soon.
How do Key Subjects work?
Key Subject Highlighting identifies the people most likely to be the key subjects in your shoot and marks them in the Close-ups panel with a blue icon and a blue frame on hover. This makes it immediately clear which faces deserve the most attention in any given image.
This feature builds on People Filter, which lets you filter your entire shoot by individual people. Key Subject Highlighting takes that a step further by surfacing those people automatically as you cull, without any filtering required.
How to turn Key Subjects on or off
Locate the People Filter option inside Filters at the top of the app.
Toggle on/off Key Subject Highlighting by selecting the eye icon.
Tips
Key Subject Highlighting works best in shoots with a consistent cast of key subjects — weddings, events, portrait sessions, and corporate shoots are ideal.
It works alongside your existing culling workflow — scenes, First Pass assessments, and face assessments all continue to work as normal.
