Focus mode
A fullscreen view of a single node — your media at full size with the prompt right there.
Focus mode is a fullscreen view of a single node. The rest of the canvas hides; the node's outputs render at full size; the prompt sits next to the media so you can iterate without leaving. Use it when you want to look closely at a generation at full resolution, scrub back through earlier outputs in the filmstrip, or fire off prompts in a tight loop without panning around the canvas.
Opening Focus mode
Three ways in:
- Click the Enter focus button on a node's toolbar.
- Press F while a node is selected.
- Right-click a node and pick Enter focus from the context menu.
Double-clicking a node on the canvas zooms in on the node — it does not open Focus mode. Use one of the three triggers above.
The first node you focus opens in a fullscreen view. From there you can swap to a different node without exiting — see Switching focus below.
The focus view
The view has three areas:
- Media viewer — the active output at full size. Center of the screen.
- Filmstrip — a strip of the node's previous outputs. Click any frame to make it the active one in the viewer.
- Prompt editor — the input that drives the node. Edit and execute without leaving.
A Properties panel is available on the side when you need to adjust settings beyond the prompt — the same controls you'd see in the right Properties overlay on the canvas.
Media viewer
The media viewer adapts to whatever the node produces:
- Image nodes — fullscreen image preview, with a fullscreen toggle for true edge-to-edge.
- Video nodes — playback controls and scrubbing.
Toolbar actions on the media:
- Download — save the current frame to your computer.
- Pin image / Unpin image — pin a specific output so it stays selected even after new generations land.
- Info — toggle a metadata panel showing creator, format, dimensions, file size, and the model that generated the output.
- Enter fullscreen / Exit fullscreen — strip out the surrounding chrome for an even more focused view.
Audio and 3D mesh outputs are not currently supported in Focus mode — open the Properties panel on the canvas to interact with those nodes.
Filmstrip
The filmstrip shows previous outputs from the focused node, newest first. Click any frame to make it the active output in the viewer. Switching frames is local to the focus view — it doesn't re-run upstream nodes or change the canvas state.
Navigate the filmstrip with:
- Scroll wheel — horizontal scroll over the filmstrip.
- Arrow keys (← / →) — step one frame at a time. The strip auto-centers the active frame.
Prompt editor
The prompt editor sits alongside the media viewer. Edit your prompt inline, then run.
Two action controls:
- Execute — runs the node with the current prompt. The tooltip shows Execute prompt when ready and Executing prompt while a generation is running. Press Cmd/Ctrl+Enter from the textarea as a shortcut.
- Restore the saved prompt — pulls back the last saved prompt for this node. Useful after experimenting.
A Craft button (when the node supports it) opens the Prompt Crafter, which expands a rough idea into a model-ready prompt before you run.
While a generation is running, the Execute button shows a spinner. New generations land in the filmstrip as they finish.
Switching focus
Once you're in Focus mode, you can move between nodes without exiting:
- Press F on a different node (visible behind the focus view via the small node tray) to swap the focused node.
- Right-click a different node in the tray and pick Enter focus.
Exiting Focus mode
Press Esc or F to exit. You return to the canvas with the node still selected. You can also click the close button on the focus view.
