FAQ:
My pictures disappear from the FTP window when I change my profile:
Yes..we have received a stream of questions about this. To avoid spoiling servers with old files already sent, each FTP profiles has now its own output folder.
This means it is now impossible to send hundreds of old files when you want to send a webclip for exemples.
But this also means that if you change the FTP on the fly the photo queue will disappear.
So, if you have to switch from an FTP to another just copy your pictures onto the desktop, change the ftp and put the pictures back in queue.
The 3.0 version is PRISM compatible. It is a “Cloud” system which enables editors and photographers to share their work.
Prism is therefore the location of the "working environnement" files you need to work: The Propernames-lists, the Captions-lists or the FTPs etc...
To use this function just upload or download the list onto the server.
Of course you can still work as usual....
ABOUT THE SOFTWARE:
In general, a lot of glitches have been fixed and the software is now faster.
00/ How to use a different Picture editor with Slide (other than CC):
First set Slide to open your image editor:
Browse your images as normal and choose which ones you wish to edit. With your filtered (chosen) images selected, right click and open them in Photoshop (or hit F12).
Make whatever edits you wish in your picutre editor (The Gimp for ex) then hit the control-S keys to bring up the save options. Do not change the pathway for where to save the image. Just hit the enter key. Make your jpeg save options then hit the OK button.
At this point, a box should appear in the lower right of the screen offering the options of Save, To Viewer or To Caption, plus a checkbox. At this point, select the checkbox and press the save button.
From this point on and until you end the session (by closing Slide), any saves that you make will save your edited jpeg into your Slide timeline.
You can change your defaulf option here:
