ImageBrowserPro user guide

Start with the task you want to complete. These instructions cover the current ImageBrowserPro workflow, with separate pages for optional plugins and connected services. Menu labels and available tools can vary with your installed version, edition, and enabled plugins.

Your first assignment

1. Install and activate the invited build.
2. Insert a camera card and ingest to make working copies, or open an existing folder.
3. Cull → Edit → Tone: narrow candidates, make the final human selection, then adjust the permitted appearance.
4. Write captions, export the final files, and check the actual output before delivery.

Browse the instructions

• Getting Started: install, open a folder, understand the workflow, and update.
• Ingest: card copying, folder organization, progress, recovery, and live arrivals.
• Browse and Cull: workspace controls, comparison, RAW/JPEG stacks, bursts, camera tags, voice memos, and clips.
• Organize: Selection Sets, sequence backups, Picture Editor, and assignment planning.

• Teaching and Collaboration: slides, Presenter Mode, Work Mode drawing and portable Critique Binders.

• Troubleshooting: common symptoms, saved data, and support reports.
• Changelog: app beta and documentation versions, dates, and public release highlights.

Read the result, not only the button

Each task explains where to start, the important options, what is saved, how to verify it, and what to do when it fails. Keep original images and sidecars together. A Selection Set is not an image backup, and a remote preview is not a downloaded original.

The guides describe implemented controls; they do not certify every camera format, external service, projector, or packaged release. Planned and parked tools are not presented as working steps. Optional AI remains reviewable and is not required for ordinary ingest, culling, captions, or burst navigation.
