krites export¶

Description¶

Render the chosen verdict set into the shoot's export/ directory. This is the only command that produces output pixels (spec 0001 §4.6; R-EXP-2) — it writes into export/ and never touches the originals.

Each frame's reversible edits are baked here, in order removals → straighten → crop → look (R-EXP-1, R-EXP-4) — a pure-Go pipeline (composite cached removal patches, then rotate/crop/resize + white-balance/tone/LUT), so only RAW decode is ever native and no model runs at export. A frame with no edits and no resize is copied verbatim (lossless, metadata preserved); a developed frame is decoded, baked, and re-encoded (PNG for a .png source, JPEG otherwise). Looks resolve against the shoot's develop-config catalog; an unknown look renders without the grade rather than failing.

A RAW frame always renders — the deliverable is a JPEG from its embedded preview (0006 §7, Q1), never a copied RAW container — written as <frame>.jpg (e.g. IMG_001.ARW → IMG_001.ARW.jpg, so a RAW+JPEG pair cannot collide in export/).

The shoot must already be culled with krites cull; develop edits come from krites straighten, krites crop and krites develop.

Usage¶

krites export [flags]

Flags¶

Flag	Description	Default
`--shoot`	Shoot directory to export	the current directory
`--verdict`	Which verdict set to export (`keep` / `maybe` / `reject`)	`keep`
`--max-dim`	Cap the exported longest side in pixels (`0` = full resolution)	`0`
`--quality`	JPEG quality for baked frames (1–100)	`90`
`--output`	Output format: `text` or `json`	`text`

Examples¶

# Copy the keepers into <shoot>/export/
