Examples

Three ways through a large image folder.

These examples show how Lumen turns a clue, a large result set, or a delivery task into a clear next step.

Actual Lumen image wall showing a folder of product images and visual references — 01 The image wall shows the folder as a visual set while filenames and normal folder controls stay close.

Workflow 01

Find a screenshot from the words inside it.

Open a Downloads folder and search for a word that appears in the screenshot, such as “pricing”, “settings”, or “checkout”. Lumen can search OCR text, filenames, and other local details, then show the matching images together.

Workflow 02

Reduce twenty candidates to the ones worth using.

Open Focus from the current result set, inspect one image, and move through the filmstrip. Compare close variants, mark favorites and rejects, and review duplicates before you make the final selection.

Actual Lumen Focus view showing curation actions, metadata, and a filmstrip — 02 Focus lets you inspect one image without losing the result set you are working through.

Build a contact sheet for review.

Choose the images you want someone else to review, then export a contact sheet instead of sending a folder of unnamed files.

Export resized copies.

Keep the originals where they are and create copies sized for a website, presentation, handoff, or another specific use.

Find an old reference.

Search a color, a word, a saved note, or the way an image looks. Start with the clue you still remember and refine from there.
