On this tab you may configure Color Factory to create low-resolution offline copies of the images
processed in the channel. For instance, the high-resolution file may be output to a tape-backup system
after publishing, and an offline copy retained in an archive in the system.
First, choose between using a fixed title for the offline archive or to have Color Factory name each
archive automatically. Then select the folder in which the archive index to which you wish to add
the offline resource images is located. All processed files will be stored hierarchically similarly to the
hierarchical structure of the high-resolution output file.
Further, you may choose between storing only thumbnails or if previews should also be included for improved
quality of detail. Next, you may choose whether the offline thumbnail should be read-only, and finally, you
should enter additional information about the offline files in the Offline Information area of the tab.
FotoXStream Job Request Files
Where: Channel | Job Request Files | Job Request Files tab
Here you may set various options related to the processing of files using FotoXStream.
Set current date on input/source image – Tick this option if you would like to stamp the processed
files with the date and time of processing.
Expand size by 0,2% to avoid gaps in picture box – This option makes it possible to have Color
Factory increase the size of the image marginally to avoid potential gaps between the image and the
picture box due to rounding errors in the size calculations.
Ignore Crop and Size commands in JRF file – When this option is selected, Color Factory will ignore
crop and size info in the JRF file and rather apply cropping/sizing according to the channel’s settings. If
cropping is not configured in the channel, no cropping will be performed whatsoever.
Using the metadata editor you may also change the text of processed images to indicate that they have
been published. Typically you may add the time and date of processing to a custom text field. For more
information about the metadata editor, please refer to the Metadata Editor chapter.
