ORGANISE + EXPLAIN

Capture what matters in every reference.

Record why an image was saved, classify the idea and add notes directly to the details you want the team to notice.

DETAIL TO INTENT

Mark the exact detail worth carrying forward.

A hotspot keeps the material, form or proportion connected to the reason it matters.

Reference the contrast and movement, not the exact slab.

CLIENT VISIBLE NOTEVisible to client

Reference for the shape, warmth and proportion of the stone opening.

DESIGNER NOTE · INTERNALInternal

Use the silhouette only; the original stone specification exceeds the project allowance.

STRUCTURED REFERENCE

An image becomes useful project information.

Category, status, visibility and notes remain attached to the visual source instead of disappearing into a separate PDF.
