in motion.

Organize

A place for
every decision.

Preparation. Ceremony. Portraits. Reception. Organize a job in the way you remember it.

Nested sets can overlap. Ratings and custom label names and colors bring different routes back into a collection. Your catalog references photographs in place, so organization does not require rearranging the original files.

Imported keywords, annotations and custom fields remain available for inspection within the supported migration profile.

Preview edits

See the potential.

Crop and rotate. Try Black & White or Sepia. Compare with the original, undo a decision or revert. Editable adjustments stay in the catalog.

Native checks cover JPEG/TIFF and one Canon CR2 preview path. They do not establish broad RAW camera support.

Preview edits, today.
RAW development, next.

The reviewed application demonstrates the preview tools above. Full RAW development, general tonal controls, batch settings and rendered proof export are separate future work.

Client approval

Their favorites.
Part of your workflow.

A private gallery, with a way back to your catalog.

The launch vision gives clients a link to their photographs, with separate choices for prints and albums. They could share it with family and the people helping them decide.

Designed to bring those selections back into Lightbox Pro, so you can see their print choices and album favorites alongside the photographs you’re preparing.
