Sort to shelves

Sort to shelves

Also known as shelves, shelf codes, carts. Category: Software

Sorting to shelves (or carts) in PhotoRobot Controls groups items by photographic properties before the shoot. Each shelf has its own code, workspace and preset, so scanning a shelf code and then an item assigns the right capture and editing settings automatically.

How PhotoRobot uses it

Shelves are created in the PhotoRobot Controls settings with a barcode, name, tags, workspace and preset; typical shelves separate small, medium and large items, or footwear, jewellery and clothing. The Open Sort to Shelves SmartCode starts the process.

See on photorobot.com

  • Editing images manual: sorting items to shelves

Related terms

  • Preset: Saved PhotoRobot Controls settings for capture and editing, applied automatically to similar products.
  • SmartCodes: Printed PhotoRobot trigger codes that start software actions when scanned, such as starting a capture sequence.
  • Barcode: A machine-readable code on a product or label, scanned to identify items without typing.
  • Product ingestion: Receiving and registering products in the studio before photography: scanning, measuring, sorting.
  • Workspace: In PhotoRobot Controls, the list of hardware (robots, cameras, lights) used for a specific photoshoot.
