Spool already holds every frame you've shot, what you shot it with, and when. Showcase is the other half: the ones worth looking at — on your desk, on your wall, and on a page you can send to anyone.
Selects come from your own ratings — nothing is auto-picked without you.
Pick the selects, pick a layout, publish. Spool already has the files, the order, the captions and the gear data — there's nothing to upload and nothing to lay out by hand.
The published page is built and hosted by the Graft/Siteforge engine rather than a second site builder inside Spool — one code path, and a natural handoff if the creator later wants a full site.
Choose an album and Spool uses it for the desk backdrop, card art and the greeting screen — rotating daily, dimmed so nothing competes with the interface.
Share a set for review without handing over originals. The client stars picks; the selects come back into Spool as a project, not an email thread.
One set, many destinations — full-res delivery, web-sized, vertical crop for social, watermarked proofs. Set the recipe once per platform.
Expiring download links with a record of who opened what and when. The end of "did you get the files?"
Import → organize → showcase → deliver. This is the step Lightroom leaves to somebody else.
