Organizing
Labels & ratings
Triage and curate with keep/reject flags and a four-level rating, rendered as data rather than chrome.
Tessera gives you fast, keyboard-driven controls to triage and curate a large library. Labels and ratings are treated as data — reinforced by shape and text, never carried by color alone.
Ratings
Each asset carries a rating that defaults to unrated and can be set to one of:
- sfw
- suggestive
- nsfw
Ratings are a filter facet and a sorting aid. Rating colors are reserved for data and never used as interface chrome, so the same hues always mean the same thing. The palette is color-blind safe — a rating is reinforced by its label, never distinguished by color alone.
Keep / reject triage
For curation passes, Tessera offers a fast keep/reject/maybe flag on each asset:
- Keep — mark an asset to retain.
- Maybe — defer the decision.
- Reject — flag for removal; rejected assets are moved aside into a rejected area rather than deleted outright.
Flagging is optimistic and keyboard-driven, built for triaging hundreds of assets per session without friction. The keep/reject signal also feeds personalization (a Pro capability) so the library learns which shots you tend to pick.
Tags, collections, and notes
Beyond ratings, you can curate with:
- Tag-based exclusion rules to hide categories you never want to see.
- Collections — curated, named sets of assets.
- Per-asset notes for planning and context.
All of it lives in the local catalog and never syncs to a server.
