Photographers

Goal: find and deliver best shots quickly

1. Open a session folder after import.
2. While culling, add keyword select to keepers (single key or bulk with Shift-select).
3. Filter Tags → select for a clean grid of finalists.
4. Press Space and use → to compare sharpness at full size.
5. Use ⌘ C to paste a preview into a client chat or proofing doc if needed.

AI Search helps rediscover older work (“golden hour portrait backlit”) without retroactive tagging marathons.

Social media managers

Goal: assemble posts from large archives

1. Tag assets by campaign or client (campaign-spring, client-acme).
2. Use bulk tagging when a shoot batch shares the same label.
3. Filter by tag before a scheduling session.
4. Copy Image straight into platform web apps or scheduling tools that accept paste.

Keyword discipline beats scrolling endless unsorted folders.

Content creators

Goal: reuse photos without losing them on drives

1. Keep one master folder per year or per platform.
2. Combine AI Search for discovery and keywords for anything you post or monetize.
3. Tag used-on-youtube or posted to avoid reposting the same frame by mistake.
4. Use the color picker to match thumbnails to brand HEX colors.

Travelers and digital nomads

Goal: organize trip photos on a laptop and synced storage

1. Point LunaFinder at your synced trip folder (see Using cloud sync folders).
2. Tag by city or trip name as you go (lisbon-2024).
3. Use AI Search for memories (“street food market night”).
4. Copy winners to posts while still traveling—no upload to a separate paid gallery required.

Shared habits that help everyone

• Open one library root at a time for clarity.
• Let indexing and thumbnails finish on large imports before heavy AI Search.
• Use keyboard shortcuts (Help button → Keyboard Shortcuts) daily to save time.
• Keep companion keyword files with images when you archive to another drive.
