Render profiles are used to group similar items together that can be rendered with the same set of instructions. Here are just a few examples of items that could be rendered together:
Go to Maintenance > Digital > Render Profiles to open your profile list.
Click New to create a new profile.
Open the General tab.
Give the profile a name and then select a preset based on what you want to do. . Note: Settings that are locked in by the preset will be grayed out.
Low-Res Session Images - Create a set of low-res images to deliver electronically, burn to CD, or to use in slideshows or videos.
Hi-Res Session Images - Create a set of hi-res images to deliver electronically or burn to CD.
Session Images for Print - Send session images directly to a local printer or save in a local hot folder for printing proofs.
Ordered Images for Print - Send ordered images (from an invoice or production order) directly to a local printer or save in a local hot folder for printing. To use this type of Profile on a Production Order, the Price List item must have a vendor setup, see section titled Digital and Fulfillment Tab on Price List Reference .
Ordered Images for Lab - Create ordered images (from an invoice or production order) in a local folder, ready to send to the lab or to perform additional production work. To use this type of Profile on a Production Order, the Price List item must have a vendor setup, see section titled Digital and Fulfillment Tab on Price List Reference.
Custom Profile - Use this option to create a profile from scratch. Choose whether the profile should render images from a session or from an order (invoice or production order).
Now open the other tabs and choose any remaining selections. Note: Settings that are locked in by the preset will be grayed out. Here are the settings you'll still need to choose, based on whether you've chosen a preset for session images, a preset for ordered images, or a custom profile.
SESSION IMAGE PRESETS Selection Options tab: Specify an Image Group and/or Image Rating to render just a portion of the images from a session. Image Options tab: Enter the Maximum Size of the produced images. Note: This value is locked for the hi-res preset. Check Apply Watermark to render/print items with your watermark. Set up your watermark on the Digital tab in Company (Studio) Preferences.

Send the images directly to print by choosing your Printing Options (optional). Choose a Printer Pool or specific Printer. To prevent white space around the edges, enter a Bleed value. We recommend 50 pixels.
