Options-Automation-Process

In the Process node of the PhotoDocs Options dialog box, you can specify whether to create documents automatically, the criteria for how to create documents, and whether to automatically apply processes to the documents. Document creation and processing is one of several steps that can be automated in PhotoDocs.

Automatic Document Creation

You can specify whether to create documents automatically on import. This means that once PhotoDocs is connected to an external source of images (whether manually or automatically), the images will automatically be copied to the Workspace and grouped into documents. You can also specify the criteria for how the document grouping will be determined. In some cases, the option specified here may determine your procedures for capturing new documents with the camera.

Document Creation Criteria

Next, specify the document creation criteria in the lower section of this dialog box. Once automatic document creation is set, these options determine how images will be grouped into documents.

Automatic Processing

PhotoDocs can also automatically apply a set of processes to your documents. First, create a profile that contains the processes and settings that will apply to your documents. Then configure this option to apply the profile automatically. This option becomes available when automatic document creation is enabled.

To enable automatic processing

  1. Select Process automatically on import.
  2. Specify the profile to be applied automatically.
