Review RAW/JPEG stacks, bursts, and camera tags

Use Burst mode to navigate groups of frames and return to the moment you want. No AI is required. A burst cover is a navigation aid, not the app's judgment of the best photograph. Have the take loaded before expecting nearby frames to appear.

Review a sequence

1. Choose Sort by Burst in Control Nav. The grid shows one cover for each detected sequence, plus individual unclustered files.
2. Click a cover. Among frames eligible under your filters, the first camera-tagged image is preferred, then an IBP-tagged image, then the first image. The opened viewer includes the complete loaded sequence, even if some constituent frames were filtered out of the grid.
3. Use the filmstrip, scrubber, Left/Right, or Home/End to navigate. Play/Pause previews the run; playback waits for images and is capped at 30 fps. The displayed preview time is not camera capture time.
4. Use Fit for the entire uncropped photograph, or 100%/200% and dragging for available detail. Read generated-preview or fallback labels, especially for RAW and HIF files.
5. Use T, 0–5, or color controls to change the displayed frame. These are single-frame actions even if the grid has several images selected.
6. Close/Escape to return to the grid at the last reviewed photograph. Choose another sort to return to individual images.

Review around a late camera tag

Choose Camera Tagged, select an anchor, and use Around Tag or B. The tray shows loaded same-folder neighbors, including adjacent detected bursts. Its default window is 15 before and after; the Burst Tray preference controls the window. When timing is incomplete, the tray labels filename ordering. Known different camera models are excluded. Open a neighbor at large size or compare it with the anchor. The tray does not load another destination folder automatically.

RAW/JPEG stacks and camera information

Matching RAW/JPEG files can appear as a stack. Use App Defaults stack choices to select the preferred JPEG or RAW preview rather than assuming one file was deleted. Metadata and available preview detail vary by model and format. Recorded focus, shutter-type, or anti-flicker information can be inspected when available; unavailable fields are not inferred. A recorded autofocus point does not prove that the area is sharp.

Saved result and recovery

Burst indexing organizes files; it is not a saved sporting-play record. To retain a manually chosen play spanning several bursts, create a named Selection Set and use normal batch metadata. Untagging in IBP does not erase camera protection. Confirm saved marks on a sample before a long review. Missing sequences can result from incomplete loading, weak timing metadata, filters, or unsupported camera marks. See sets, comparison, and support.
