Global Styles

Global Styles let you save a complete editing state and reuse it across projects. They appear as blue pills in the sidebar and can be applied to any image with a single tap. Styles cascade — project-level styles inherit from global styles, so changes to a global style propagate to every project that uses it.

Creating a Style

There are two ways to create a global style:

From the Library

In the Library, long-press any image thumbnail
Tap Save as Style
Name the style (e.g., "Wedding Warm", "Studio Cool")
The style captures all current editing parameters for that image

From the Editor

Edit an image until you are happy with the look
Tap the Styles button in the toolbar
Tap Save Current as Style
Name the style

Applying a Style

Open any image in the editor and tap a blue style pill in the sidebar. The style's parameters replace the current edit state. You can then fine-tune individual sliders on top of the applied style.

Tip: Applying a style is non-destructive. Your previous edit state is preserved in the undo history, so you can always undo (Cmd+Z) to return to where you were before applying the style.

Project-Level Styles

Each project can have its own set of styles that are visible only within that project. Project-level styles appear in the sidebar alongside global styles, but with a folder icon to indicate they belong to the current project.

Project styles support inheritance: when you create a project style based on a global style, the project style inherits the global style's parameters. If you later update the global style, the project style picks up those changes automatically — unless you have overridden a specific parameter at the project level.

Style Management

Action	How
Rename	Long-press the style pill, tap Rename
Edit	Long-press the style pill, tap Edit Style — opens the style parameters for adjustment
Delete	Long-press the style pill, tap Delete
Duplicate	Long-press the style pill, tap Duplicate — creates a copy you can modify independently
Reorder	Drag style pills up or down in the sidebar to change their display order

What a Style Captures

A style stores the complete editing state, including:

All Light & Tone parameters (exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, tone curve)
Color settings (temperature, tint, saturation, vibrance)
Color Grading (curves, wheels, HSL, mixer) for all regions (global, FG, BG)
Effects (texture, clarity, dehaze, grain, sharpening, vignette)
Film Curve parameters (if in scene-referred mode)
Preset and LUT selections

Styles do not capture crop, geometry, portrait retouching, healing, or 3D lighting — those are image-specific and would not transfer meaningfully between images.

Workflow: Consistent Series

Edit the hero image of a series to establish the look
Save the edit as a global style ("Summer Editorial 2026")
Open each remaining image and tap the style pill
Fine-tune exposure and white balance per image (these vary shot to shot)
If you later refine the hero image, update the global style — project-level overrides are preserved
