Production Image Publisher

Storefront.com's Production Image Publisher is a utility for processing orders associated with digital mediums. Using PIP, lab workers can process images, create branded index prints, create CDs and DVDs, process Internet uploads, save files to floppy, and read from and write to floppies, hard drives, CDs, DVDs, and third-party digital camera media. 

Production Image Publisher facilitates busy lab environments by queuing orders for processing.  PIP simultaneously processes images, burns CDs or DVDs, processes Internet uploads, stores images to digital media, creates index prints, and allows the operator to enter additional orders.  Order status is presented on screen. A simple right-click menu facilitates order cancellation and convenient reordering. 

Production Image Publisher features password-protected preference settings for most features including CD/DVD writer configuration, key binding assignments, image compression settings, printer selection, paper sizes, Internet settings, image processing options, and more.  PIP has been designed to operate on both public and secure networks, and supports proxy servers and remote (head office) configuration of operational parameters.  This allows digital production formats to be added and changed across a franchise in a matter of minutes, not months.

  • Read - Digital Media, Memory Cards, USB Devices, CDs, DVDs, PhotoSite images and images from URLs.
