Archive photo selection

Keeping the original photo matters because you may want to generate a different mood later.

For "How to archive original photos and generated results together", the image should make sense before any annotation is added. If it looks confusing as a small preview, choose a simpler frame, add more light, or leave more open space before generating.

Writing a note that fits the photo

Use simple naming rules with date, subject, and version. Avoid relying only on browser history for important images.

A good Scribly line should feel attached to this specific archive photo. If the wording could fit dozens of unrelated images, make it more concrete by naming the mood, action, season, object, or relationship shown in the scene.

Before saving or sharing

If you share many versions, keep a final folder separate from experiments so you know which result you actually used.

Before saving or sharing, check that the subject is still readable, the note does not cover the important part, and private details stay out of the frame.

Archive what you will want to see again

Saving every generated image can make an album harder to revisit. After making several versions, keep the one that brings the day back most clearly, not only the one that looks most decorative. The value of a record is not always the same as visual polish.

Compare the original and the result before you keep or share it. Does the original scene still feel present? Does the handwritten note support the memory without covering it? Is the image safe enough to send later? Those three checks make a Scribly archive feel calmer and more useful.
