Peakto's Grid View: Navigate Your Images with Efficiency

2.1 Exploring using the grid

1. Exploring using the grid

The grid view is probably the most familiar view available in Peakto to view your images. It works hand in hand with the sidebar: the sidebar selection drives what is shown in the grid. You can select :
  1. a specific source
  2. a specific type of source (e.g all the Capture One catalogs)
  3. multiple sources at once, using the Command (⌘) key to create multiple selections
  4. all sources using the All Sources item at the top of the sidebar
  5. a specific Editing Workspace (e.g Pixelmator Pro) to see all images in that workspace

  6. a specific album




The grid lets you switch between the Instants and the Versions view:
  1. in Instants view, all the versions of an instant are collapsed and a single version (called the poster) is displayed in the Grid.
  2. In Versions view, all versions are displayed next to each other.

1.1. Anatomy of a grid cell

 In addition to displaying an image, each cell of the grid can display additional information using overlays.

The Instants Information badge is displayed when there are more than 1 version in an instant. The badge takes the form nn/mm where nn is the number of version in the currently selected scope, while mm is the total number of versions found by Peakto. Int he example above, 1/2 means that there is 1 version in the current scope out of a total of 2.

The type of information displayed is controlled using the View ➜ Grid View Options item from the View Menu or using the View Options contextual menu accessible via Control+Click in the grid.
