Can I look at my images closely in the browser?

Yes. The viewer opens a large preview and loads a sharper detail image when you zoom in. It does not show the original file. Images over 128 MP can't be previewed.

What metadata is visible in the viewer?

The Metadata tab shows EXIF data (camera, lens, exposure, aperture, ISO, capture date) and IPTC data, including creator, credit line and description.

What keyboard shortcuts are available?

The right arrow moves to the next image. 2 sets the 2nd select and 0 clears it. Alt plus a number key sets stars, for example Alt+4 for four stars. Alt+6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 set Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple labels. Keys 4 to 9 add the image to a collection once that collection has a shortcut. Tag shortcuts work on the Tags tab.

Does the viewer work on mobile?

Partly. On a phone you can pinch to zoom, and metadata opens in a bottom panel.

Can I apply tags or metadata while viewing?

Yes. Set select tiers, ratings and labels from the keyboard, and each saves at once. Edit tags and IPTC fields in the side panel.

Open a folder of stills and go through it frame by frame in your browser. You don't download anything to start.

Zoom in without downloading the file

Opening a still shows a large preview, not a thumbnail. Scroll, pinch or double-click to zoom. Past 2x, the viewer swaps in a sharper detail image.

You are looking at a preview and a detail image, not the original file. Images over 128 MP can't be previewed.

Cull from the keyboard

Selects come in three tiers. Press 2 for the 2nd select and 0 to clear it; pressing 2 again does not toggle it off. Alt+4 gives four stars. Alt+7 sets a yellow label. The right arrow moves to the next still, in the same sort and filter order as the grid. Each change saves as you make it, and the select, stars and label sit in the same window as the frame, so you don't switch tabs.

Collection keys 4 to 9 work once a collection has that shortcut assigned. Tag shortcuts work on the Tags tab.

Credit and caption sit beside the frame

Open the Metadata tab to read the camera, lens, exposure and capture date next to the still, along with the IPTC creator, credit line and description.

Slideshow plays through photos; video is skipped. More than one person can open the same folder. There is no file locking.

The viewer lets you review in the browser instead. You don't download anything to start.

Large preview and zoom

Opening an image shows a large preview, not a thumbnail. Zoom in past 2x and the viewer loads a sharper detail image.

You are looking at a preview and a detail image, not the original file. Images over 128 MP can't be previewed.

The viewer is built for people who review a lot of frames at once. Reaching for the mouse on every image slows you down.

Arrow keys move forward and backward through your images
1, 2, 3 mark select tiers, and 0 clears them
4 to 9 add the image to a collection, once that collection has a shortcut assigned
Alt+1 to Alt+5 apply star ratings
Alt+6 to Alt+0 apply color labels
Letter shortcuts you set for your project's tags, which work on the Tags tab

Metadata at a glance

Open the metadata panel to see technical and descriptive information without leaving the viewer.

EXIF data shows the camera settings:

Camera body and lens
Exposure, aperture, ISO
Capture date and time

IPTC data shows the editorial information:

Copyright holder
Photographer credit
Caption and headline
Keywords

Rating and tagging in the viewer

The sidebar panel gives you:

Star ratings (1 to 5 stars, with Alt+number or a click)
Color labels (Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple)
Tags from your project's tag library
IPTC metadata editing for quick caption or credit updates
Select tiers for 1st, 2nd and 3rd picks

Each change is saved as you make it. When you return to the grid, your ratings, labels and tags are already applied.

Slideshow

Slideshow plays the images in your current view, in order. Set the speed, pause on any frame. Photos only; video is skipped.

Works with the rest of the project

Open from search results to review matching images in context
Open from collections to review curated sets
Open from the grid with any active filters preserved
Face pins and names show on the photo in the viewer. Photos only.

The order in the viewer matches the sort and filter you had in the grid. Filter by a tag and sort by date, and that is the order you flip through.

Built for team review

More than one person can open the same folder. There is no file locking.
