Why is this page a list instead of a tool?

Because the Print Lab is two jobs, and they are different jobs. Correcting a photograph and turning it into a print-shop original want different controls, so each one gets its own bench and this page routes you. The tool you want is one click away and says what it does.

What works right now?

The whole ADJUST panel: crop, rotate, straighten and flip, all running in your browser. The PRINT panel — dither, halftone, riso, one-bit — is on the bench, and it is named here rather than hidden so you know what is coming and what is not.

Why do the correcting tools come first?

Because a dither is a one-way door. Once a picture is a thousand dots you cannot straighten it, so the order on this page is the order that works: get the geometry right, then commit to the look.

Does my photo get uploaded?

No. Every tool in the ADJUST panel runs entirely in your browser, on your machine — no server touches the job, and the camera metadata is left behind on the way out. (Pro tools, when they arrive, will upload securely, and only when you ask.)

The Print Lab — Crop, Rotate, Straighten

Two panels, in the order you would actually use them. ADJUST fixes the photograph — crop it, turn it, level it, mirror it. PRINT then makes it a print-shop original: dither, halftone, riso separations, one-bit. ADJUST works today.

ADJUST

FIX THE PHOTOGRAPH — WORKS NOW

Crop an ImageCut away what you do not want, or lock the shape to a ratio a platform insists on.
Rotate an ImageTurn it a quarter at a time — and if your camera tagged it sideways, fix that properly instead of fighting it.
Straighten a PhotoFor the crooked scan and the horizon two degrees off — fine adjustment, then the empty corners trimmed away for you.
Flip an ImageMirror the picture. Useful for a selfie that reads backwards, and for anything being printed through a transfer.

PRINT

MAKE IT A PRINT-SHOP ORIGINAL — ON THE BENCH

DitherOrdered and error-diffused, the way a 1-bit screen did it.
HalftoneA dot screen at an angle, like a newspaper photograph.
RisoSpot-colour separations, for the look of a risograph print.
PixelateDown to a coarse grid and back, on purpose.

Sunburst plate: dithered rays radiating from a solid hub, ink on bone — FIG. — FROM THE MANUAL · PLACEHOLDER PLATE

Do the boring half first: a crooked photo does not get better by being halftoned.
PRINT is being built. When it lands it takes the corrected picture straight through.
