Show Images View

When Working with Images, Show Images view will magnify the selected image(s) to fit within the Display Area.  In the Display Area, you can view anywhere from one to thirty images simultaneously. The images are automatically arranged and optimally sized to fit within the available space.  This feature allows for efficient reviewing and comparing of multiple images.

How to Access Show Images View

To navigate through images in the Display Area:

  • Use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard.
  • Right-click on the Next or Previous buttons and select a "Jump in Groups" option.  With this selected, hold the OptionAlt key when navigating to move through the images in groups.

Tools Available in Show Images View

Select an image (or an image within a product) and click on the Apply Effect tool.  You can choose to apply an image effect or a custom effect.  For more information, click on Applying Effects.

Image Effects
  • B&W: Use the keyboard shortcut "B" to apply.

Custom Effects

If you have created any custom Photoshop actions, they will be listed below the Image Effects.  By default, ProSelect will duplicate the image once an effect has been applied.  To configure Custom Effects, click on the "Manage Custom Effects" option.  This will take you to Settings, Custom Effects Actions.

You can apply pretouching effects to one or more selected images using the Pretouch Images tool.

  • Clicking the tool will open the Perfectly Clear Pretouch Images window where you can select, preview, and adjust the presets for one image at a time or, after finding the best setting, apply that setting to the remaining images using the Sync button.
  • When you right-click on the tool (or press the “P” key), a popup menu of all available presets will appear.  Select a preset to apply to the currently selected images or to remove any applied pretouch.  Recently used presets (and their intensity setting) are listed at the top of the menu.

This will rotate the selected Image/Product/Crop/Item 90 degrees clockwise. 

  • When rotating a product, the images in the template are NOT rotated.  By Right-clicking on the Rotate tool, you have the option of rotating the images as well as the product template. 
  • Hold OptionAlt when rotating to rotate counterclockwise.
Shortcut - Rotate

Use the shortcut Cmd + RControl + R to rotate an image or product.

Select an image(s) and click on the Remove From Album tool (trash can).  This will remove the image(s).  A warning will appear to confirm the removal.

Select an image or images and click on the Create Print Product tool (or right-click on the image and select "Create Print Product").  You will be redirected to Working with Products, and the selected image(s) will now be added as a print product.  When prints are created, they are sized according to your "Starting Product".  To configure your Starting Product, go to the top menu, ProSelectEdit > Settings > Importing Images > Adding Images.

You can duplicate an image, product, or room using the Duplicate tool.

  • When duplicating images, each copy retains the original filename but has its own thumbnail.
  • This feature is particularly useful when you want to view or order the same image/product with different effects.
  • Simply duplicate the item and apply distinct effects to each copy.  You can then select and display both copies, allowing for easy comparison of the different effects applied.

You have the option to add notes to images, products, books, or rooms.  Notes are used as a reminder of any special changes that need to be applied to the images in a product, general product notes, or order requests.  Click on Notes to learn more about where notes appear throughout ProSelect.

  1. Select an image, product, or room and click on the Notes tool. 
  2. The Notes dialog will open. 
  3. You can manually add your own notes or add a note from your Notes Library.  

  • Use the Previous and Next buttons to scroll through and add notes to other images/items within the set.
  • If duplicate images appear, check this box to apply the note to duplicates as well.
  • Use the Clear Note button to remove any notes.
  • Click the Apply Changes button when you have finished adding or editing the note.
Quick Tips
  • You can add the same note to more than one image at a time by selecting all the relevant images before clicking on the Note tool. 
  • Notes added in Working with Images are applied to the individual image.
  • Notes added in Working with Products or Working with Rooms are applied to the whole product or whole room.  Not the individual image.
 
Right-Click

The Notes tool also has a right-click option.  When you right-click, a drop-down menu of the Library Notes appears.  You can select a commonly used note and add it.  In this case, the note will be added without opening the Notes dialog.

 

Notes Tag

All items with notes attached will have a small Notes tag at the bottom-right corner of the thumbnail image.

The Order Product tool (shopping cart) allows you to add the selected product(s) to an order.  Ordering can be done from any View mode.  You can order products one at a time, or multiple products at a time.  Once you click on the Order Product tool, a menu will appear that includes the product(s) you wish to order and other options associated with that product. 

Click on the product you wish to order from the list.  The product will be added to the Client's order.
