In addition to being output to your printer, PhotoPackage documents can also be sent to other services for processing or transformed into other file formats with a custom module called a Sheet Writer.  By default, PhotoPackage provides two built-in Sheet Writers:




Image Files

Generates a series of JPEG, TIFF or PNG images that represent the sheets of the photo package.  The files can be printed at a later date, sent to customer, or submitted to a printing service via email, FTP or website upload.



FTP Upload

A simple FTP client which delivers a photo package as a collection of one or more images directly to an FTP server.



PhotoPackage supports the use of third-party Sheet Writers that provide even tighter integration with your photo workflow.  Developers interested in creating a PhotoPackage Writer should contact Blue Room Software for more information.

Configuring a Sheet Writer

All of the Sheet Writers available to PhotoPackage can be found in the Writers tab of the Preferences window:

Sheet Writers can have user-specific configuration settings.  Those that do will enable the Settings... button when they are selected in the list.

Using a Sheet Writer

From the Package menu, go to the Generate with Sheet Writer submenu and select which Sheet Writer you would like to use with your document:

While each Sheet Writer has slightly different tasks to perform, some form of progress is provided while the package is being generated:
