## Frequently asked questions

### Does the tool assign my proof numbers automatically?

No. It labels images using the actual input basename. Upload or processing prefixes may differ from local names; maintain the mapping and inspect the PDF, optionally adding a reviewed ID watermark.

### Can I upload 150 photos as one sheet job?

Do not rely on that. Only the first 120 supplied paths are considered, before unreadable or unsupported paths are skipped. Split deliberately and reconcile all intended IDs across the delivered PDFs.

### Does disabling EXIF make the images anonymous?

No. It hides selected EXIF report lines only. Inspect derivative metadata separately and review faces, signs, locations and filenames; removing metadata alone is not anonymization.

### Can the client approve final retouching from this PDF?

The sheet supports image selection, not colour-critical, full-resolution or print approval. Keep final editing and calibrated proofing separate. A watermark communicates status but does not prevent copying.
