Options you can apply
Hide Event-
This is "Privatization or Password" type protection for your event. We
don't use Passwords to protect your events. When you upload your events,
you give your clients the URL (web address) to the event. The Hidden
Events will not appear in the Event List on your Gallery.
Tag for eXpress
Order- If you have read about our eXpress Order feature, you know it
will retrieve orders from your gallery, retrieve the images for the
order, and send the order directly to our partner lab for processing and
shipping to your clients. You must first establish an account with one
of our Partner Labs to use eXpress Order. We will be happy to supply you
with a list of Partner Labs in your area.
Upload images as Album Pages-
If you design albums in Photoshop or other programs, you can display
them on your Gallery in a "Side by Side", left and right side album
format. Place the album JPG's in a folder. We assume the pages are named
in numerical order. Select the Folder in Step 1, and the page JPG's
should appear in the left upload screen. Move them to the right side.
You can use our Album Cover options in the Enhance Screen. Make a few
test uploads to see how your pages look.
Making "Panorama"
album pages- If you design your own albums in
Photoshop, or another program, you may create them as double spread
Pano's. When you upload a page to the Gallery, it assumes it is either a
left or right side album page. If you upload a Pano, it will place it on
the left or right side as it uploads. BUT, if you enter the word
"panorama" (without the quotes) into the name of the image, it will
display across both sides of the layout, and it will look like a double
page spread. Example- page1 panorama.jpg
Graphi Album
Users: We have a unique feature in our Infinity Album Designer. If
you are familiar with the requirements of the Graphi company, you know
that you must submit "Panorama" double page spread layouts to them for
printing. We have created a more versatile concept in page design. With
our Infinity Album Designer, you can create individual 1/2 pages, and we
will combine them for you in the final rendering process in the Infinity
Album Designer. Being able to use individual pages opens the door for
more versatility and easier page design.
Expiration
Date- You can "Remove" your event from public viewing, without
removing the event from your gallery. Set a date to remove "Expire the
Viewing" of the event. When the expiration date is reached, a message
will appear in place of the event when a customer goes to that event.
The message tells them to contact you for further details about viewing
the event.
You can change
the status of any of the options at anytime. Go to the "Manage" screen
to change options and event status.

Using our Partner Labs
If you decide to use our Partner Labs, you
can open your orders in Presentation Gold, crop them and send the orders
to the lab. The cropping is applied to each image according to the sizes
ordered, and is applied at the lab before printing. The Partner Lab can
also color correct the individual image before printing, so you will
have one uniform color and density for all of your prints.
We will assume you are already working
with your own lab and workflow. We suggest you learn the basics of our
system before you use our Presentation Gold Program and our Partner
Labs. If you would like to use our Partner Labs contact us and we will
send you a list of labs in your area.
When you use a Partner Lab, Click the
Green Arrow Button and you will see your order in the list. Add it to
the Que, and send your order(s) to the lab via our built in FTP.

Enhance Screen
There is no absolute, guaranteed way to protect images displayed on the
web. We have adapted every security measure available to protect your
images. If you feel you require more protection, we suggest you use our
"Watermark" tool to protect them. You can place your studio name, the
word Proof, or any other text across the entire image, or in a corner.
You can have 100% solid text, or reduced opacity.
You will also find
the Sharpening Tool (rarely required-upload your images, if you like the
sharpness, leave them alone. This option does not effect you original
images. You will also find Album Cover text tool on the Enhance Screen.
You can display your Album Designs on your Preview Gallery. Save your
designed pages as full size JPG's. When you select the folder that
contains the pages, check the box at the bottom of the upload screen
that says "Upload as Album Pages". If you create "Panorama" pages, be
sure to have the word-"panorama" in the file name of the pages. Example:
Page1 panorama.jpg. It can appear anywhere in the file name. When the
program sees the word "panorama" it displays the page as a single print,
spread across two pages.

Package Pricing
You can create
packages in your shopping cart. There are 2 types of packages you can
offer.
Package type A-
One pose for all prints ordered
Package type B- Different poses for every size ordered
You create the
packages the same way for each type you create. Select a Size
(Component), Quantity, and use the Arrow Button to move it to the box.
Add as many Sizes as you like. When you are finished, give the Package a
"Name". Leave the description alone, it will display the contents in
your shopping cart.
Click the + button
and the Package will be added to your list. You can move it up to any
position in the list.
Now, if you want
to use Package type B- check the box next to the package, that says "Web
Package"
When you have your
new Price List as you like it, save and rename it. Give it a name that
applies to the event type you will be using this new price list with

Encrypted Image CD Viewer
We place the link to our CD Viewer on the
Process Order Screen. This is a very unique tool for Photographers that
need an additional level of image protection not available when
displaying images on the web. We have incorporated the highest level of
security available to us on the web, but there are still "holes" in web
security.
The CD Encrypted Viewer has never been
compromised. We have never received a report of any of our Encrypted
images ever being copied or printed in any lab or on any home printer.
You create a CD image Viewer in minutes. You
pay $9.95 per month to use the CD Viewer. Make as many CD Viewers as you
like for each event, and only pay $9.95 monthly. You are welcome to
create a few CD Viewers during the first month you have the program
installed. We will activate the payment system after the first 30 days
on the program's installation.

Order Options in Presentation Gold Mode
There are
additional order processing options available, including an option
to create finished rendered JPG's of your album designs that you can
send to any lab, not only our partner labs. There is a small fee to
activate that feature. $9.95 per month. To activate that feature,
contact us by phone or email and we will |

The Prints ordered appear in the columns. The red Crop Squares
indicate that your images were not cropped in OUR Presentation
Gold Program. Our cropping program is very intuitive. It
automatically sets the crop range for the aspect ratio of the
print sizes ordered. It is easier and faster to use than Photoshop
or any other program. You must be using a Partner Lab to take
advantage of our cropping system, since the final crop is applied
at the lab. Go to the View menu in the Preview Gallery Toolbox,
uncheck the Preview Upload Toolbox option.

Receiving eXpress
Orders From Your Gallery
eXpress Order is our "Total Automated Order
Fulfillment System". When you upload an event, and designate it as an
eXpress Order, your order will be retrieved from your Gallery, the
images will be found in your computer, and the order will go directly to
our Partner Lab, all behind the scenes without you having to do a thing.
You can change the status of
your Events Online at anytime from eXpress to Standard
order at any time.
You must establish an
account with one of our Partner Labs to use eXpress Order.
