FotoWeb Desktop

Extend the power of the web to your desktop!

• Check-out and check-in of documents with file locking to prevent access to a file being edited by another user
• Open files in the native local application, then save the file and check it back into FotoWeb
• Crop, edit and correct image files
  

FotoWeb Desktop is an application designed to bridge the gap between a FotoWeb archive and your desktop computer. It offers the possibility to check out files from your web archive, download them to the local computer and edit them in their associated applications on the computer.

Special editing features are available for image files, such as Photoshop and Illustrator file formats, allowing you to crop, adjust colors and perform other high-resolution editing.

The check-out feature ensures that files downloaded to a client are locked for editing by other users of FotoWeb. FotoWeb Desktop handles all file types that the target system (Windows or Mac OS workstation) recognizes, so that the file can be opened in its associated application and later stored back to its original location on the web server. Hence, Word documents, for example, can be checked out, edited and checked in to the server again afterwards. FotoWeb desktop will automatically take care of uploading the file to its correct location in the background.

The checkout feature also adds the benefit of being able to take your work with you. By checking out files to a laptop, you can bring the computer with you and make changes to the files when you have the time. Then, it’s simply a matter of connecting to the FotoWeb server again when you want to check in the documents.
