User manual

value requires full saturation, however if desired you can set this to
whatever you would like.
Note that this dialog can also be pulled up in the same manner in the
image review mode and changes you make here will effect both modes. This
allows fine grained control over how images are displayed and allows you to
correct for a number of common issues that may come up when in the field.
4.6 Actions
The actions subsystem in ITP 2.0 Professional allows you to configure the
server to automatically process images as they are received. Rather than
internally processing the images, ITP is set up to trigger external programs
such as Photoshop Droplets with the filename of the newly received image.
This system allows you to automate repetitive tasks (such as captioning,
sharpening and resampling) so that when you return to your workstation the
images will be prepped and ready for you to immediately begin more detailed
work. It is important to note that this is an advanced function and requires
an understanding of an external scripting system - this section will explain
the basics, but please proceed to chapter 5 for a detailed description of this
functionality.
Actions are configured on a per-user basis, so to access the configuration
window proceed to the Edit Users window covered in section 3.1. Once
you have selected the desired user account, click the Actions button and
the dialog shown in figure 4.5 will be displayed. The dialog is divided into a
number of steps, each of which contain the following options:
• The process image with the following program field allows you
to specify the command that ITP should issue to trigger the desired
action in this step. The filename of the new image will be appended as
an argument and the selected program should then proceed to process
the image and save the results in the same file. Once complete, ITP will
pick up the file again and proceed with further processing if necessary.
• The browse button allows you to navigate your computer to find the
desired command. It will place the resulting filename in the above field.
