Editing Images - PhotoRobot User Support Manual
In PhotoRobot Controls App (further referred to as “CAPP”), users can export items to a local disk, or export items to the PhotoRobot Cloud.
Use this PhotoRobot User Support Manual to operate and troubleshoot Item Export in CAPP, including:
To select items for export from CAPP to a local drive, first open the Project where the items are stored.
Inside a Project, 25 items display by default. Users can select individual items for export, or select all 25 entries on a page.
After selecting items for export, the total number of items displays in the upper-right part of the page. Confirm that the total number of items is correct, and click Export to open the export window:
In the Export menu, users can configure options for item export to create images and resize on a local disk.
For each export, the user must also select an output format via Add output format. There are three output options by default:
Note: When adding multiple outputs, users configure individual menu options for Spin (360 / 3D) images and for Still images, or for other output formats.
After selection of the output format, the export window displays options for users to select which file format to download images in:
( ! ) - The recommended file formats are WebP and JPG. Note: WebP is recommended over JPG, as WebP consistently requires less bits per pixel than JPG for the same SSIM index. Conversely, PNG file sizes are often too large for the web, and only used in special cases.
( * ) - On the right of file format selection, DPI is set to 72 by default. Note: adjusting DPI will have no effect on image resolution, so in the majority of cases it is recommended to keep the default setting:
If configuring a transparent JPG file for export, users can select a background color by clicking Background color:
To adjust image quality on JPG or WebP files, check the Change quality box below file format selection:
Change quality is measured on a 1 to 100 (lowest to highest level) scale, which affects file size and image quality at the same time.
( ! ) - For JPG and WebP files, the ideal quality levels exist in different ranges. It will thus be necessary to adjust this number depending on the file format, and its desired size versus its desired quality.
For all file types, users can select to export items in original file size, or in a desired resolution:
The final step before item export is to choose a Filename*. This step enables users to select or change variables for the image template:
To access the help box, click Show template variables via the question-mark icon to the right of the input filename:
Standard variables include:
Variables for further explanation are:
Templates can be further customized using variables:
*Tags within a filename can function for example as a label for “Product A” versus “Product B”. In this case, a filename for Product A might be: ${projectName}/${itemName}(${tag:productid}/${folderName}/${rowAngle}_a${turnAngle}.jpg
Additionally, Custom formatting options exist to further customize some variables, including: ${rowIndex}, ${turnIndex}, and ${order}. Customize these variables by appending the variable with the colon symbol followed by a value, for example:
( ! ) - Duplicate path error: If using r${rowAngle}_a${turnAngle} in a template and also exporting still images that share rows with the same angles, the user must specify ${order} in the template. This will avoid encountering a “Duplicate path error,” and should look as follows: ${order}_r${rowAngle}_a${turnAngle}.
Next, users can save an export template and its configurations, or load a template from their archive.
To save or load an export template, access template options via the menu icon next to Export items at the top of the export menu:
When saving, click Save to create a new template, add a name, and include tags or notes for future indexing or reference:
After configuring the export template with all required outputs, file formatting, and filename variables, click Export in the bottom right of the interface:
On successful export, all items will transfer from CAPP to the path specified to your local disk.
Item export to the cloud follows the same procedure as exporting items to a local disk, and provides the same functionality.
*The only difference is that with Cloud-based item export, CAPP generates a link with a URL address to access the exported item.
