Overview

The Tools tab is a launcher. It shows a grid of tool cards, and clicking one opens that tool on its own full page. There are three tools:
ToolWhat it does
Manual TaggingTag photos with bib numbers the pipeline could not detect
Manual Context Tagging (Beta)Attach canonical context tags (for example sponsor names) to photos
AI Image AnalysisReview and fix photos flagged for rotation — see AI Image Analysis
This page covers the two tagging tools.

​
Manual Tagging (Bib Numbers)

Use Manual Tagging to fix photos where the AI couldn’t read the bib number — blurred shots, partially hidden bibs, or unusual angles. This keeps bib search complete for your participants.
1

Open the tool

Go to 9Pic Photo → Tools and click Manual Tagging.
2

Find the photo

Search or browse to the image you need to correct.
3

Add or fix the bib number

Open the photo and enter the correct bib number(s), then save. The photo becomes searchable under those bibs.
Manual Tagging is most useful after processing, when you can review the photos that came back without a detected bib. Pair it with the bib detection settings in Configuration to reduce misses on the next event.

​
Manual Context Tagging (Beta)

Manual Context Tagging is a Beta tool. It’s stable enough to use, but the interface may change.
Context tags are canonical labels — sponsor names, zones, or other categories — attached to photos so participants can find them by context, not just by face or bib. The tool is lookup-based: you search for an image, select it, and edit its context tags in a dialog.
1

Open the tool

Go to 9Pic Photo → Tools and click Manual Context Tagging.
2

Look up an image

Use the lookup panel to search and select the photo you want to tag.
3

Edit context tags

In the tag editor dialog, add or adjust the canonical tags for that image, then save.

​
Common Questions

Manual Tagging adds the bib(s) you enter so the photo is searchable under them. It’s meant to fill gaps the pipeline left, not to wipe existing detections.
Context tags power context-based search and grouping on the event page. They are canonical labels you control, so keep them consistent (for example, one spelling per sponsor).
Both tagging tools are lookup-first by design: find the specific photo, then edit its tags. For large bib corrections, fix detection ranges in Configuration before reprocessing.
