Vision
Photography joins the platform as a dedicated interest area so newcomers skip the desktop toolchain (Adobe Camera Raw → Photoshop jsx batch → Zerene Stacker → manual touch-up). Built from Joey's real workflow: OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II, .ORF raw, focus stacks.
Verified foundation (Joey's actual files, exiftool)
OM 90mm F3.5 · f/8 · 1/200 · ISO 200 · no flash), focus-stack metadata (FocusDistance 0.535 m, FocusStepCount — the fusion depth prior), DateTimeOriginal + real timezone offset, GPS when the phone link was on (verified), and an embedded ~1MB JPEG preview + thumbnail → instant gallery derivatives with zero raw processingstack_pipeline/Python package (stack detection, Tenengrad curation, OpenCV pyramid + FocusStepCount-guided depth-map fusion, WB sync) is the fusion core to productionizeORF_to_TIFF.jsxACR recipe (Enhance Raw Details, Sharpening 10, remove CA) becomes the Darkroom Companion payloadDecisions

Monitoring note (2026-07-19 ~17:00Z): both new SERVER-pinned services from this epic were reject-looping since deploy (~07:19Z / 07:59Z) —
invalid mount config ... bind source path does not existfor/mnt/fusionio/spikersoft/photographsand/mnt/fusionio/spikersoft/uploads/photographs. Neither PR-2 nor PR-5 provisions the host dirs and no runbook step covers it. Created both dirs (mode 0777, matching every sibling tree) via a one-shot job on SERVER; spikersoft-photograph-processor and artpipe-photostack now 1/1, consumers listening, photos-svc S3 key interpolated correctly (40 chars). Suggest adding a mkdir provisioning line to the stack headers/runbook so a rebuild of SERVER doesn't regress this.Epic complete — every one of the 9 PR trains shipped, plus substantial post-scope hardening. Closing.
Train map (all merged + deployed):
1-2. Photograph domain/upload/permissions/gear + PhotographProcessor worker (scan → exiftool → previews → move, no EXIF strip)
3-4. domain-photograph lib, photo-gallery tool, lightbox + student meta, location opt-in, photo map, profile tab
5-6. PhotoStack ArtAsset pipeline (develop → align_fuse) + the Art Studio Photo Stack tab w/ SignalR progress
7. Darkroom Companion CLI (tools/darkroom-companion) + develop-job endpoints
8. Touch-up canvas editor — since enhanced with the compare divider + selected-frame prominence (#780)
9. Blog photo-linking (+ sanitized photograph-info), authenticated e2e coverage, es i18n
Post-scope work that grew out of the epic (all landed): stack-aware gallery — EXIF burst auto-grouping, collapse-to-finished-products, server-side provenance snapshots + "How this was made" transparency panel, owner deletion with stack-frame restore (#779); Stacked/Touchup metadata inheritance closing the canvas-EXIF gap (#755); photograph previews + art-asset artifacts migrated off GridFS to MinIO (#778/#783, #783 PRs pending merge — tracked separately).
