Depricated, working on a new software stack
⚠️
Picturebot is photo organizer app which allows the user to organize photos in a proper way. It allows the user to easily add pictures to a shoot whereas the shoot is stored within a workspace.
A shoot contains workflows, every workflow has a unique purpose. There are seven defined workflows: backup, editing, base, preview, selection, edited and Instagram.
- Backup flow contains all pictures taken during a shoot
- Editing flow contains the image files that have embedded editing information about a certain picture
- Base flow contains all filtered photos (blurred, unsharp, duplicate, … pictures are deleted)
- Preview flow contains converted RAW images to a JPG image
- Selection flow contains all the pictures which are selected for editing and can later be edited
- Edited flow contains pictures that are edited
- Instagram flow contains cropped images that are used to post on Instagram
All pictures follow a special naming convention
<shoot_dd-mm-YYYY_index.extension>
The oldest pictures in the shoot is marked with index one
<shoot_02-06-2020_1.jpg>
The second oldest pictures in the shoot is marked with index two
<shoot_02-06-2020_2.jpg>
