How can I manage my data using Projects and Multi Rows in Shutter Stream
Step-by-step guide
Shutter Stream has two powerful features for managing your data capture: Projects and Multirows:
- Projects in Shutter Stream are a master working directory where all the original images and RAW files are saved (if shooting with RAW+JPG is enabled).
Projects also store intermediate results and edited files, as lossless TIFs. - Multirows are enabled inside each project.
Projects Guide
Here is a quick run-through on how to use Projects:
- Projects are directories used by Shutter Stream to perform all the work and to save all the input and temporary files.
- Projects are accessed from the gearbox and you can perform the following functions:
- You can create New project, in which case you specify the name and the location of the new folder.
- You can open a project, in which case you navigate to a Shutter Stream project directory:
- The Shutter Stream directory that stores a project will have a .shs extension.
- You can open the default project location, which depends on the OS:
- You can save the current project to a new directory, in which case the working directory is saved to a new location.
- Projects can be used to share working spaces between computers and you can save a unique Project on a per-customer basis.
Multi Rows Guide
Here is a quick run-through on how to use multi rows:
- They can be enabled from the Gearbox/Thumbnail Options:
- You can use one row per product, if you'd like.
- You can create a new row by right clicking on the thumbnails window and selecting Add new row
The selected/active row is shown in bold underscore, in the picture above the active row is DualShot. - To delete a row:
- Select all the thumbnails by clicking the "check-mark"
- Delete all the thumbnails by clicking the "x"
