Multi-Photo Aggregate Inspector & Batch Actions

Bulk curation operations, common-subject intersections, and aggregate telemetry in MultiPhotoInspector.

Managing Multi-Photo Selections

When selecting multiple photos (via Shift + Click or lasso selection), the single-photo sidebar automatically transitions into the MultiPhotoInspector (ADR 0008). This view computes aggregate metrics across the entire selected batch.


Aggregate Telemetry Overview

  • Decision Progress Bar: Visualizes the proportional split between KEEP, REJECT, and UNREVIEWED frames within the active selection.
  • Combined Exposure Range: Summarizes aperture ranges (e.g. f/1.8 to f/4.0), shutter speed extremes (1/250s to 1/2000s), and ISO brackets (100 to 6400).
  • Common Subjects: Identifies individuals present across all selected frames, highlighting shared family or bridal party members.

One-Click Batch Actions
