Network Administrators not using Remote Storage:

FotoFusion does not embed images in a project. As such, for collaborative working we advise storing project files and all related images in a shared network location. The following is an example setup which can be used for schools or adapted for studios running FotoFusion::Extreme.

  • Create an area on your network to store candid images, imported PSPA photos and project files.
  • Create an Active Directory group, for example Yearbook Users, which have read/write access to this folder.
  • Map this folder to a standard network drive, Y:/Yearbook.
  • Using a batch script, or otherwise, set this drive to be mapped at logon for Yearbook Users.
  • Advise your Yearbook committee that all project files, images and imported PSPA photos should be saved to this folder.
