Profiles Toolbar

Profiles are groups of processes that can be saved and run again all together, rather than each process needing to be selected individually. This way, when you find a group of processes that work well on a certain set of documents, you can save that configuration for use on future documents. You can save multiple profiles: for instance, if the most common types of documents you work with in PhotoDocs are business cards, book pages in English, and book pages in French, you could create a profile for each.

Profiles can be run by the user, or a profile can be specified to run automatically; learn more about automating capture.

Profiles are available in the upper left of the main PhotoDocs window. A list of currently available profiles is shown. When one or more documents or pages are selected in the Workspace, the Run button will become available. The profile markers above the processes indicate which processes will apply to the selected documents when the current profile is run.

To select an existing profile

When an existing profile is selected, the Rename selected profile and Delete selected profile options will become enabled.

To create a new profile

To modify an existing profile

  1. Select the profile.
  2. Make the change.
  3. Select Save Current Profile.
  4. Select the name of the existing profile.
  5. Click Yes to replace the existing profile with the new configuration.

Process Order

When run as a group, as in a profile, the processes run in the order that has been shown in tests to be effective for the majority of images, which is:

  1. Rotate
  2. Crop
  3. Adjust Light
  4. OCR
  5. Convert Color

If you want to run the processes in a different order, you can run one at a time.
