Your photos already know what they're photos of

Tags are what make the Our Work section on a proposal pull the right shots — a herringbone job should show your herringbone work, not whatever you uploaded most recently. Trouble is, tagging every photo by hand is the sort of chore nobody does twice.

So we stopped asking. When you collect a before & after set, an after shot, or a work-in-progress photo from inside a project, BidCraft now reads what it already knows about that job and tags the photo for you:

• The kind of work — shower, bathroom, backsplash, patio, heated floor.
• The rooms — whatever you named them: master shower, guest bath, kitchen.
• The actual finishes — the material, tile size, and pattern you entered on each surface. A 12×24 porcelain shower laid herringbone comes back tagged herringbone, porcelain, 12x24.
• The features — niche, bench, curbless, glass enclosure, if you've answered those on the job.

Then the next time you bid a similar job, those photos are the ones that surface.

A few things worth knowing:

• Your words win. Anything you type yourself sits at the front of the list and is never dropped or replaced. Edit the tags on a photo and they stay edited.
• It only uses what's filled in. A job with the finishes entered tags better than one without. Nothing to configure — it just gets sharper as you fill the job in.
• Work photos only. Client reviews, team photos, and funny finds don't get tagged. "12x24 herringbone" on a screenshot of a Google review helps nobody.
• Past work you upload in bulk still uses the tags you type for the batch — there's no job behind those photos to read from.

Photos you'd already collected before today stay as they were. Anything from here on tags itself.
