## What is CardFlow?

CardFlow: FTP is the iPhone companion for assignment photographers who need to receive, caption, and send frames from the sideline—without lugging a laptop.

Your camera sends photographs over FTP while CardFlow: FTP runs on your iPhone. Files land in a job folder. On the break, cull and tag selects, apply professional IPTC with templates and code replacement, make quick exposure and color adjustments, then deliver via FTP, Share sheet, or export to a folder.

BUILT FOR DEADLINE WORK

• Built-in FTP server tuned for Canon EOS R3 and similar camera FTP clients
• Works on a travel-router LAN or iPhone Personal Hotspot
• Live server status, camera connection indicator, and receive log
• Compact job contact sheet for dozens to low hundreds of frames
• Full IPTC editor with XMP templates, snapshot paste, autocomplete, and code replacement
• Quick Edit: exposure, highlights, shadows, contrast, saturation, color temperature, crop, straighten
• Separate send queue—tap photos to queue without changing ingest tags
• Copy or move finished batches to an archive folder for the next half
• Ingest from a card reader via Files when you are off the FTP workflow
• Deliver via FTP, Mail, AirDrop, Messages, or export to a folder you choose

PROFESSIONAL METADATA

• Writes IPTC to JPG and matching XMP sidecars for RAW companions
• Batch caption selected frames with shared fields, then refine individually
• Code replacement for roster and event strings

HONEST LIMITATIONS

• FTP receive runs while the app is in the foreground on the Receive tab—keep CardFlow: FTP open while shooting
• Standard FTP is not encrypted; use networks you trust
• CFexpress Type B cards usually need a powered USB hub before Files can see the volume

CardFlow: FTP  is a one-time purchase app from 3PM Studios. Introductory price  No account, cloud library, or subscription required. Your photographs stay on your iPhone and destinations you choose unless you send them.

Also available: CardFlow Photo Workflow for Mac and iPad—the full assignment workflow with multi-card ingest and larger jobs.

iPhone 1.0.3 (9) — Folder refresh stays visible, and sent photos can move into a folder you already created.

Refresh: Open a job folder while Camera FTP is receiving. The circular arrow stays on the left. Select photos. Refresh should still be there. Tap it and the newest frames should appear.

Caption: Select a photo. Caption, Snapshot, and Paste Snapshot are in the Caption menu. Delete, Queue, and Move stay on the row under the photo count.

Sent folder: Create a Sent folder in Files before you deliver. Queue photos, Deliver, then Move to Sent Folder and choose that folder. The photos should leave the job folder. If you have no Sent folder, the alert should say to make one in Files first.
