-
Using Windows Explorer, create two folders in a convenient
location on your local or external hard drive.
-
Name the first folder "JobNameOriginals"
-
Name the second folder "JobNameEdited"
-
-
Insert the camera card into your card reader.
Select/Copy/Paste all the images from your camera card into your "JobNameOriginals"
folder.
-
After you've copied the files from your card to your hard
drive, don't erase or format the card. We recommend waiting to
erase/format your camera card just before your next job, just in case you
need them later.*
-
Using your image editing software of choice "Photoshop
etc", view the images in the "JobNameOriginals" folder on your local hard
drive. (It's faster than trying to view/edit them from the camera card.)
-
As you edit your images, save the ones to be printed at
the lab into your "JobNameEdited" folder. This way we always have the
Originals in their folder untouched in case you need to go back to them.
Never change and save images back into the Originals folder....think of
this folder as your "film".
-
Once you're done with editing your images, insert a CD
into your computer and then Select/Copy/Paste the images from your "JobNameEdited"
folder onto your CD. (We recommend copying/pasting the list of images,
not the folder.)
-
You're now ready to upload or send the CD of edited images
to Bullock for Originals (proofs) on genuine Kodak Professional Endura RA4
photographic paper.
Bullock will return your CD and prints.
-
We also keep digital copies of your files in our system
for 6 months so you don't have to send the files back for reprints or
enlargements....just fax or upload our order forms! (Think of Bullock as
your "off-site backup" of your important files.)
