So far we hope you have had a chance to check out Part 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in our continuing series about the PhotoOne and LabPrints integration.
In this last post, I’ll show you how to add an order to Digital Studio and bring the data back to Photo One.
First launch PhotoOne. Select a customer by double clicking on a client’s name. In the lower right hand area of the window, you will have the option of selecting DIGITAL STUDIO. Click on that button to be transported to LabPrints’ Digital Studio. Go ahead and CREATE A PROJECT. Give the the project a name and be sure to associate that project to a specific client id number. Next, add images to the project by locating it either on your desktop or an internal hard drive. The images from the folder you selected should now display within DIGITAL STUDIO.
When you see the image thumbnails, scroll over one image and double click it. The image will enlarge and you will see some options to choose the quantities and in the sizes your client has requested. Once you have made your choices, go back to the LIGHT TABLE and choose another image and go through the same steps.
Next you will want to check if your order, involving two images in various dimensions and quantities, is accurate. Click on the INVOICING tab to confirm that information. In the middle of the INVOICING window, you will see a button that reads: SEND TO PHOTOONE. Click the button, confirm the client ID number if it wasn’t input initially and click OK.
If you have installed both the PhotoOne and LabPrints Digital Studio program correctly, the data should now be available in PhotoOne. Go back to your PhotoOne program and with your client’s account information in front of you, select GET ORDER. This step links the data that you sent from LabPrints to this particular client order.
If you haven’t matched your products with your pricing, you will be prompted to do that now. Once that is resolved, check under the ORDERS tab in PhotoOne, to see your client’s most current order on the very top of your list. Double click that ORDER (each order has a unique order number) to see further details of what you ordered. You can further confirm that the image and order information from LabPrints is indeed now in PhotoOne by clicking on POSE INFO. Since we processed only two unique images in this example, you will only see two images in there.
