Not really sure there is any other way for that stage than just running them through the tagging tool. I do several other passes first to eliminate as many pics as possible through other means.
I'll note that I use what I refer to as a "top-down" style of pack building. That means that I mass download for the character, and then do steps to chip away at the mass. Eventually a pack emerges.
The other style, which IMHO is easier for new pack makers to use, I refer to as "bottom-up". You start with targeted searches of the R34 sites, to try to collect only those pics that you expect to actually use. From a combination of these searches, a pack emerges.
But in both cases one of the latter steps is the tagging tool. And while the tool is miles better than manual tagging, you still have to handle the pics one by one. That's the stage where the indespensible human judgement comes into play for how each pic should be tagged.
