Once the job has been photographed, the images can now be imported and automatically sorted into the correct session folders based on the QR codes.
How it works: myStratus will detect and read a QR Code Image. It will import images into the session folder based on the information on the QR code until it detects the next QR Code Image. myStratus will not import the QR Code image – just the images the client will see.
During the photo shoot, we suggest you keep the QR Codes stacked in the order the students were photographed. This will help if there's a problem photographing the QR Image. Problems may include QR Code out of focus; QR Code damaged; QR Code not photographed (photographer forgot). If a QR Code has a problem, the software can't "look" at the images, so if there is a problem, those images will all go into the previous Session.
1. Go to Tools > Bulk Image Importer 2. Using the button shown above, navigate to the folder with the images. 3. Click Import options. If you've used Bulk Image Importer before, this should be already set up. But it's a good idea to doublecheck. For more info on setting up the Bulk Image Importer, please click here.
4. Check the "Advance Session Status". This will automatically update the Session Status on these Sessions from the Initial Session Status, to the next Session Status you've set up.
5. Images will be ready to inspect for QR Code problems. If you've not already done so, now is the time to visually look at the images with the QR Codes to make sure they look clear and in focus. myStratus will automatically highlight any QR Code images in green and identify it as (QR Image). In the example above, the red box. If myStratus does not detect a QR Code, the image will remain the same. In the above example (blue box), the QR Code was out of focus so myStratus did not recognize it as a QR Image. Any images not associated with a highlighted QR Image must be sorted individually.
