## What is Deadline Editor?

Deadline Editor is a professional image and photo management and editing app built for photographers who work under pressure — especially in sports, events, and editorial photography.
Browse & Organize
Open any folder and instantly browse thousands of images with a fast, GPU-accelerated thumbnail grid. Filter by star rating, color code, or favorite status. Use tabs to work across multiple folders simultaneously. Pair RAW+JPEG files automatically and view them together or separately.
Edit JPEG/RAW Files Non-Destructively
Process 15+ RAW formats with a full suite of professional adjustments — exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, white balance, clarity, texture, dehaze, sharpening, noise reduction, vignette, and film grain. Fine-tune with tone curve and RGB channel curve editors. All edits are stored as XMP metadata, so your original files are never modified. 
Voice Tags & Transcription
Attach voice memos to your images and have them automatically transcribed to text using on-device speech recognition. Transcriptions flow directly into your chosen metadata field — perfect for capturing field notes, player IDs, or scene descriptions without typing.
Sports Photography Workflows
Build game rosters by fetching live data  for 20+ professional and college leagues, or paste roster data from any source. In Batch Mode, type a jersey number and the app instantly expands it to the player's full name and position using Quick Text. Auto-advance moves you to the next image after each tag — enabling rapid-fire captioning of entire games.
Quick Text Automation
Load TSV/CSV files with shorthand-to-caption mappings. Type a trigger key and the app expands it to full text — photographer names, event details, or player information. Combine multiple CSV sources and see live match previews as you type.
Import From Anywhere
Import from card readers with verified checksums and automatic rollback on failure. Sync from FTP servers on a schedule. Connect to DeadlineFTP.com for real-time file delivery. Monitor hot folders for automatic imports. Apply XMP metadata templates during any import workflow.
Comprehensive Metadata Editing
Edit 66+ XMP and IPTC fields organized into categories — description, creator, content, people, location, rights, workflow, and camera info. Customize which fields are visible, pin your most-used fields, and reorder everything to match your workflow. Edit metadata across multiple images at once.
Deliver Fast
Export to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or HEIC with quality control, optional resizing, and metadata handling options. Upload directly to FTP servers with batch support and progress tracking. Save delivery presets for one-click repeat workflows. Rename files on export using pattern-based naming with EXIF date, metadata fields, and sequence variables.

Companion app to Deadline Editor MacOS and Deadlineftp.com

Built for Professionals
Dual-monitor support opens your editor on a secondary display while the gallery stays on your primary screen. Extensive keyboard shortcuts let you rate, color-code, protect, navigate, filter, and tag without touching the mouse. A dedicated photographer database stores contact information for embedding in image metadata.
Supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, WebP, and RAW formats from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, and Samsung. Requires macOS 14.0 or later.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.68 — 2026-09-05

Quick Text UI Enhancements
XMP Field revisions
Tethering UI Update

### 1.0.67 — 2026-08-28

Voice tags now translate against an ordinary roster — team detection reads the prefixes out of your own Quick Text keys instead of requiring a bare one-letter entry, so an h01/v01-style sheet resolves players and jersey numbers.

Voice tags spoken on an iPad and on a Mac now produce the same caption, because both apps share one matcher.

A team name spoken with a possessive or punctuation — "Unicorn's 12", "H-24" — now matches the roster instead of landing in the caption as literal text.

When two players share a jersey number, Person In Image lists them in roster order rather than reversed.

Voice tags can write the spoken code to the batch ID, with a toggle for it in Transcription settings.

The Quick Text auto-fill switch and the home/visitor roster prefixes now take effect everywhere and sync through iCloud 

A template's colour code now honours its condition — "protected in camera", "rated in camera" — on every path a photo arrives through, not just card import.

Signing out of Deadline no longer swaps your pinned-field presets and other registries for an old, unrelated set.

An iCloud sync that failed to read a file can no longer delete records that only this iPad holds.

The Quick Text caret chip now reads "%%cursor in use", naming the token you type rather than the mechanism behind it.

Support reports carry more of what matters: voice-tag matching, registry namespaces and failed syncs now say what happened.
