Main overlays
PROFESSOR centers on selection and film surfaces; many tools appear as overlays on the preview and grid. The table lists common overlays (Mac build; remappable under Settings → Hotkeys → PROFESSOR).
| Overlay | Entry | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Recent folders | Empty preview / Recent menu | Covers the left preview when no folder is loaded; open recent paths, pick a folder, or Snapshot Disk. |
| DIR (Pick / Photographer) | Toolbar folder · double-tap 4 / 5 | Pick tab opens local rolls/subfolders; Photographer tab browses work folders, Snapshot Disk, and sync; same load path as toolbar pick. |
| Person assign | Toolbar People | Unified assign/replace/clear; open person-card detail only by tapping a mini-card inside the overlay. |
| EXIF preview | Preview-analysis group · hotkey I | Phone-frame metadata overlay (still/video); dimmable backdrop; grouped with tone and content analysis. |
| Tone / histogram | Toolbar tone analysis | Histogram-aided tone reading (ten tone types and related features per release). |
| Content / pose analysis | Toolbar content analysis (when results exist) | Vision pose and related overlays; pose usually off for video selection while person-assign stays available. |
| Palette | Hotkey O | Extract palette swatches and copy values; separate from external-screen info hotkey P. |
| Photo description | Note / description entry | Write per-frame notes; may sync with description folders / EXIF description block (Settings → PROFESSOR). |
| Image edit | Toolbar · hotkey E | Lightweight retouch panels; local draft + JPEG to retouch folder; originals in the media folder stay untouched. |
| Video edit | Toolbar when video selected | Trim / grade entry as overlay or detached window (per release). |
| Set as cover | Context menu / hotkey C (see hotkey map) | Choose original or person-style covers; optional cover-background (cutout + palette) flow. |
| Group / report | DIR side tools / toolbar | Group-photo report, filename grouping, and related classifiers for set-based culling. |
| External-screen info | Hotkey P | External preview chrome such as color-tag bar (separate from palette O). |
| Film-mode overlays | Switch to film mode | Film format/brand pickers and header edit; some browse hotkeys pause while open—click the main area after closing. |
Browse hotkeys may pause while an overlay is open; after closing, click the main browser before arrows and color tags.
Film mode
Film mode treats the current folder as a roll or sheet of film: frames appear as film cards on a light table—suited to browsing, archiving, or delivering by roll. It sits beside selection mode (grid + large preview); switch from the toolbar anytime.
What you see
- Light table: film cards in a grid; drag to reorder; stack versions in one cell (e.g. JPG + TIFF).
- Film sleeve header: edit roll description, shoot date, scan date, and author notes above the preview.
- Formats: 135, 120, Polaroid, and free layout (custom columns × rows); adjustable card size.
- Layout lock: freeze the arrangement to avoid accidental drags.
- Film box: link an external film-box file and page index for multi-roll archives (path in Settings).
What you can do
- Switch to Film mode from the toolbar.
- Open Film settings (gear), pick format and card size, then apply.
- Fill shoot / scan dates and notes in the film-sleeve header.
- Drag cards to reorder or stack; lock the layout when you want it fixed.
