Two requests: stronger indication that a photo is picked, and a Walk mode for
the ones not picked yet.

Seeing the decision

Whether the photo in front of you is going to be printed was being said only by
the colour of a 1.5-pixel outline. It is now said three ways at once:

  • the space around the picture turns green
  • the shade over the part of the photo outside the crop is tinted with it — a far
    larger target for the eye than any border
  • it is labelled ✔ WILL BE PRINTED, because colour alone is not something
    everyone can read

One thing is deliberately left untinted: the area inside the crop window that
falls outside the photo. That is a preview of the real printed border, and
colouring it to mean something else would be a lie about the output.

Walking the undecided ones

Walk: All / Selected / Unselected, each with its count. Unselected is the
second pass — having ticked the obvious keepers, it visits only what is still
undecided so the ones already dealt with stop getting in the way. A mode that
would visit nothing falls back to plain stepping rather than stranding you on a
photo with no way forward.

The ini accepts all, selected and unselected, plus the spellings people
reach for (picked, remaining).


150 core tests pass. The visual weight of the green — whether it is too much
over a photo, or not enough — is a judgement that wants eyes on the real thing.

Whether the photo in front of you is going to be printed was being said only by
the colour of a one-and-a-half-pixel outline. It is now said three ways at once:
the space around the picture turns green, the shade over the part of the photo
outside the crop is tinted with it -- a far larger target for the eye than any
border -- and it is labelled in words, because colour alone is not something
everyone can read.

The one thing deliberately left untinted is the area inside the crop window
that falls outside the photo. That is a preview of the actual printed border,
and colouring it to mean something else would be a lie about the output.

Walk gains a third mode. Having ticked the obvious keepers, "Unselected" visits
only what is still undecided, so the ones already dealt with stop getting in the
way. Each mode carries its count, and a mode that would visit nothing falls back
to plain stepping rather than stranding you.
