01 / The story

Point before finding all the words.

A visual observation often begins with a place in an image. Sketchiebook lets that place stay part of the conversation: draw around a detail, leave a note and keep replies attached to it.

One note can include several regions. A relationship across the picture can remain one thought instead of becoming a list of disconnected locations.

02 / The story

One thought, five places.

In a railway study, “pockets of light” joins five selections. A lantern, reflections and glints become parts of one observation that can be reopened and discussed.

The image, original prompt, selections and replies remain associated with the working copy. Hiding the selections returns attention to the image itself.

03 / The story

Keep the conversation with the work.

The workbench opens one image at a time and saves its notes beside it. Original images are retained, while a lighter working image keeps the same dimensions.

This makes visual development inspectable over time. Broader capture and comparison ideas remain separate from the implemented image-notes workflow.
