When & How to Use Coloured Filters
With Snapper PhotoManager managing your workflow routines is now simpler than ever. Right from the start you can import your photos from your latest shoot and assign workflow routines immediately by using Snapper PhotoManager’s Coloured Filters. The description for each Coloured Filter can be changed to whatever you want them to be & once you get the hang of it, you will never lose track of your workflow ever again.

Khaki - Last Import
Orange - Selections & Rejections
Red - Editing
