Introduce a new 'topics' entity with two-level nesting and a many-to-many link to photos. Add topic management in admin and inline AJAX attach/detach controls on photo cards so editors can assign or remove topics without reloading the page.
Move 'after photo' upload into the after-preview area with an inline replace action and keep rotations/uploads async so the table stays in place. Clean up autosave helper text noise, remove the redundant back link on photo detail, and loosen sidebar section spacing for a cleaner public layout.
Split comment users and comment moderation into separate admin sections, and add comment search by photo and user for faster moderation. Rework public photo viewing with full-frame repeated watermarking, in-section prev/next navigation, sticky desktop sidebar, and a mobile bottom nav with section return and photo position.
Open per-photo comments in a modal overlay from the photo table instead of navigating away, and keep deletion inline. Make rotate controls submit via AJAX so preview updates without page reload or scroll jump, while tightening button layout for cleaner action groups.
Rename the photo field label to avoid confusion with user comments and show comment count indicators in photo actions. Let admins open a per-photo comment view from the indicator and remove comments directly from that filtered list.
Let admins fix wrong image orientation directly in the photo table by rotating both before and after files. Add per-preview left/right 90-degree controls and rotate files on disk so changes apply everywhere immediately.
Separate section management from photo management to keep the admin navigation clear and focused. Add autosave for section edits, stronger double-confirmation on section removal, and explicit cleanup of before/after files when a section is deleted.
Let admins manage section names and ordering from the media sidebar without manual DB edits. Add safe section deletion in admin flow and remove the section storage folder after DB cascade cleanup.
