Open RawCull > Settings. The settings shown in this guide provide five tabs.
| Tab | Main controls |
|---|---|
| Cache | View memory and disk cache use; clear thumbnail or full-size JPG caches |
| Thumbnails | Set list and preview sizes; enable and adjust sharpened RAW zoom previews |
| Focus | Adjust the focus-mask threshold, pre-blur, amplification, erosion, and dilation |
| AI | Check DataComp CLIP, SAM 3, and Qwen readiness; manage optional model downloads |
| Memory | View unified memory use, RawCull memory use, and macOS pressure |
Sharpen Zoom Preview develops the RAW through macOS and applies micro-detail sharpening. It is slower than using the embedded JPG and may not be available for every file.
Use Save Settings after changing thumbnail or focus values. Reset to Defaults restores the values in that settings area. Scoring options are available from Scoring Parameters in the main window.
Settings > AI reports whether DataComp CLIP, SAM 3, and Qwen are available. Enable DataComp CLIP before indexing a catalog for similarity and semantic search. Manage Downloads opens the model manager. The Qwen section includes Validate Again to recheck the selected model; button labels can differ between versions. See AI Settings screenshots for the illustrated layout.
AI features require macOS 27 (Golden Gate) and an Apple Silicon Mac. See AI Analysis for the purpose of each model.
