PhotoFlow
PhotoFlow is a photo workflow tool for organizing and editing images with a layered, non-destructive approach. This page covers raw-file handling, color management, export checks and project backup.
What PhotoFlow provides
PhotoFlow supports a photo workflow in which the original image remains available while adjustments are layered and exported as separate results. The useful boundary is separating source, project settings and delivery files so a color or crop decision can be revised without overwriting the capture.
Color and delivery discipline
Check the input profile, working space and output profile, then inspect a small export in the target viewer. A display preview is not a guarantee that another screen or print process will match, so keep the export format and color assumptions with the delivery file.

PhotoFlow raw workflow guide
Open a copied raw file, apply one adjustment layer, confirm color assumptions and export a small delivery file without touching the original capture.
Before you start
- Prepare a backup of the original raw files and a separate project folder.
- Note camera profile, intended output size and destination color requirements.
- Choose a viewer or delivery device for checking the exported result.
Installation steps
- 01
Create a project copy
Import or open the working copy, keep the original path read-only where practical and confirm that the metadata and orientation are correct.
- 02
Apply and review adjustments
Add exposure, crop or color changes in separate layers, compare before and after views and record the adjustment that affects the final decision.
- 03
Export and verify
Choose the output format, size and profile, export to a new filename and inspect it in the target viewer for color, sharpness and crop.
Quick start
- 01
Keep originals untouched
Store raw captures outside the delivery folder and use project references or copies so an experiment never replaces the source.
- 02
Check profiles deliberately
Record input, working and output profiles and avoid mixing profile conversion with several visual adjustments during diagnosis.
- 03
Review metadata exposure
Decide which camera, location or author fields should remain in the delivery file and remove private metadata before sharing.
Usage tips
- Export a small proof before a large batch so profile and crop errors are caught early.
- Keep project settings and source filenames in an archive that can be reopened without the delivery copy.
- Use a calibrated or known reference display when color decisions matter.
Troubleshooting and uninstall
Why does the exported photo look different in another viewer?
Compare color profile handling, viewer settings, export format and display calibration, then make a small proof with explicit profile metadata.
Why did the crop or rotation change after reopening?
Check the project transform, source orientation metadata and export settings, then compare the working copy with a fresh proof before processing the full set.
- Archive source and projectsSave the original files, project settings, accepted exports and color notes before removing the editor.
- Remove PhotoFlowUninstall PhotoFlow through the operating system and remove caches only after confirming that the raw files and project archive remain readable.
Frequently asked questions
Does PhotoFlow overwrite raw files during editing?
A non-destructive workflow keeps adjustments separate, but maintain a backup and verify project settings so the original capture remains available.
Is one color profile correct for every delivery?
The appropriate profile depends on the target viewer, web or print workflow. Record the output assumption and inspect a proof in its destination context.
Does the download require an extraction code?
The Quark entry does not require one; the four-character code for the Baidu entry is shown beside its download entry.
