Print-Ready Workflow
Gallery-quality prints start with accurate preparation:• Soft Proofing — Preview print rendering with CMYK/Matte/Newsprint presets or custom ICC profiles. See exactly how your art will look before printing.
• Fixed Templates — Wallet, 4×6, 5×7, 8×10, and custom sizes for standard framing and portfolio prints.
• Contact Sheet — Auto-fit grid for portfolio overview and gallery submission sheets.
• Replay Adjustments — Print with all PractiPix edits and watermarks applied accurately.
• Color Management — Full color space control for accurate print reproduction.
• High-Quality Export — Maximum quality TIFF and PNG export for professional printing.
Fine Art Editing Tools
Precise control for artistic vision:• Tone Curve — Full control over tonal mapping with Luminosity, Red, Green, and Blue spline curves for signature looks.
• Per-Channel Tone Curve — Shape individual RGB channels for nuanced color grading.
• Color Equalizer — Fine-tune colors per channel without affecting overall balance. Critical for artistic color work.
• Regional Exposure — Intelligent IDW-based regional exposure targeting for corners and center adjustments.
• Local Masking — Brush, linear gradient, and radial masks for targeted adjustments. Paint light and shadow with precision.
• Tone Curve Clipping Indicators — Real-time feedback for exposure accuracy and tonal range.
• LUT Application — Apply signature color grades with .cube LUT files. Export LUT from current adjustments for series consistency.
• Non-Destructive Editing — All edits are reversible with full undo/redo stack. Experiment freely without risk.
Series & Collection Organization
Manage limited editions and bodies of work:• Manual Collections — Create sets by series, theme, or exhibition: "Urban Landscapes 2024", "Portrait Series", "Gallery Exhibition".
• Smart Folders — Save searches like "All 5-star prints" or "Limited Edition Selects" as persistent virtual folders.
• 1–5 Star Ranking — Quick-rank from thumbnails for edition selection and pricing tiers.
• Notes — Attach reminders to images ("print candidate", "edition number", "gallery submission", "collector reserved").
• Color Labels — Red/Yellow/Green/Blue for status tracking (printed, sold, pending, archived).
• Name Search — Filter by filename or note content for quick retrieval of specific editions.
