Common on-site and post paths; follow in-app toolbars for details.

  1. Card import after a shoot
    • Insert SD/CF → open PROFESSOR (selection).

    • Cull with color tags on grid + large preview; eject the card when done and keep selecting.
  2. On-site fast culling
    • Arrow keys / browse hotkeys; color-tag digits (Bluetooth keyboard recommended).
    • Focus the main browser; some hotkeys pause while overlays are open—close them and click the main area.
    • Optional parallel picks: tag on Mac, sync to the miniprogram, then pull marks back.
  3. People and covers
    • Toolbar People → assign overlay; tap a mini-card for detail.
    • Context “Set as cover” for album covers; optional cover background.
    • Works with People library / roll visitor binding when shipped.
  4. Read metadata and light edit
    • I for EXIF; tone / content analysis; O for palette.
    • E for lightweight image edit → export to the retouch folder.
    • Videos use preview controls and video edit; pose overlay usually off for video.
  5. Snapshot Disk offline review
    • Without the source volume, open PHOTOX from DIR Photographer or the Flow Snapshot Disk channel.
    • Browse, tag, and organize; access may follow Snapshot Disk unlock rules in Settings.

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).

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.
