ProShow Producer: Anyone using it - What is your workflow with IM5?

[picolo]

Hi,

I am trying to find an effective way to integrate ProShow Producer into workflow.
For LR there is a Plug-In available that makes it easy to export the files and open them in PSP.

The favorites don't work...

So please, if you have already figured out a "how to" I would really appreciate if you share it with me and other users.

Thanks in advance

Just drag your files from a file window into PSP. Works here like a charm.

Mario,

You are right...
It does work with jpg-files but unfortunately not with with DNG or NEF files which I use the most

[Mario]

This is because PSP does not support DNG or NEF file formats. So they don't allow you to drop them.

I don't know the plug-in they've written for LR, but I think they perform an internal conversion to JPEG and produce temporary files. Maybe you can pursue them to write a plug-in for IMatch 5 as well 

For DNG files, setup a Batch Processor preset which converts the files and make it output into a folder already in your database. Then you can drag the resulting files. Or let the Batch Processor output the files into a normal folder and then drag the files from Windows Explorer to PSP.

For NEF files you have to use LR or whatever software you have used to correct them. Only LR or the other software can apply your edits to the NEF file when producing a JPEG file.

Thanks Mario!

For DNG files, setup a Batch Processor preset which converts the files and make it output into a folder already in your database. Then you can drag the resulting files.

I think this will be the way to go for now...
