TheEditor — On-device photo editor for sports photographers

Editing

Temperature, tint, saturation and vibrance
Per-color HSL (hue, saturation, luminance)
Tone curve editor with auto-fit anchors
Sharpening + on-device noise reduction
One-tap edit presets (Styles) you can save and reuse
Crop, rotate, level, flip with rule-of-thirds overlay

Metadata & captioning

IPTC that keeps up with the action.

Full IPTC IIM + XMP editor with templates, a quick-menu and code-replacement macros. Caption a photo in five taps so it's wire-ready before the next play.

Every IPTC field: caption, creator, contact, location, rights
Save and apply metadata templates per match / event
IPTC Quick-Menu — saved presets one tap away
Code replacement macros for repeating phrases and player names
OCR — read jersey numbers, suggest names from your roster
Bulk-apply a template to a multi-select from the grid

Import

The iPad in the press kit, not in the bag.

Pull files in any way that fits your gear: USB card reader, wireless from the camera over FTP, or a watched folder you write to from a tethered Mac.

USB import for SD / CF cards via the Lightning / USB-C reader
Built-in FTP receive server (Wi-Fi camera or laptop pushes)
Watched folder with 1 sec → 15 min cadence (great for tethered)
Files / iCloud Drive picker for ad-hoc batches
Auto-edit, auto-crop, auto-IPTC and auto-export run on each import

Export

Wire-ready in one tap.

Send to FTP, AirDrop, Files, e-mail or the iOS Photos library. Embed full IPTC IIM + XMP into the JPEG. Save export rules per destination.

FTP profiles with per-destination size / quality / IPTC settings
Auto-export rules trigger on import (FTP and Files folder)
AirDrop, Mail, the iOS Photos library, Files / iCloud Drive
Custom filename patterns with metadata variables
Quick-export — repeats your last destination & settings
IPTC IIM (APP13) + XMP — including contact, alt text, persons-shown

Face recognition

Your roster, on every photo.

Build a face library once — across the season it tags everyone in your shots automatically. Runs entirely on-device with Apple Vision feature prints; the library syncs across your Apple-ID devices via iCloud.

On-device face matching — nothing is sent to a third party
Reference library by person, with prefix / surname / postfix and groups
iCloud sync — train on your iPad, match on your iPhone
Auto-match newly imported photos and pre-fill IPTC persons-shown
Color-coded confidence chips with one-tap accept-and-strengthen
Passphrase-encrypted backup (AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2) for off-iCloud archives
