control, automatic repro and image enhancement, color management, PDF
processing and archive management.
|
| Q |
How does it work? |
| A |
Color Factory is based on the concept of processing channels. A channel, in
essence, has an input and an output folder and a set of processing
instructions. When a file is placed in an input folder it is immediately
detected by Color Factory and scheduled for processing. When the processing is
finished, the processed file is saved in the output folder.

professional photographers and everyone else working with digital asset
management.

Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 servers.
|
| Q |
What value does it bring? |
| A |
The Color Factory server relieves client computers of heavy processing, so that
users can continue working undisturbed while time consuming jobs are processed
on the server. This also reduces network load, since large files are not
transported over the network unnecessarily.
|
| Q |
Which formats are supported by Color Factory? |
| A |
Color Factory supports virtually all image file formats, and can convert them
to formats supported by standard applications. It also supports PDF documents
and processing of the images contained in PDFs. File formats are automatically
detected by Color Factory, even if the file extension is missing or incorrect.
Movies can be converted to GIF format, or still images can be extracted from a
movie. Most vector formats can be converted to bitmap or image files.

| Q |
