Field notes
The page describes a viewfinder-first workflow: choose a look before framing, or open All looks to compare the scene across the full set. Existing gallery images can be cropped to five listed formats, including 4:5 Feed and 9:16 Story, with edits saved as new copies. A sample recipe code is shown, and the page says another person can paste a code to reproduce the same result.
