After creating your
LabPrints project you may move your images from your local hard drive
as part of your daily workflow. Since LabPrints needs these images in
order to upload to the Storefront, Open in
External Editor, to send Lab Orders or to
export to High Resolution via the Production Studio,
you may be prompted to locate these images. If you locate the images
via this fashion, they will not be permanently relinked. In this document
we will go over how to permanently relink your images using the toolbox
in the Light Table tab. |

| The Light Table Toolbox |
The red toolbox can be found in the
Light Table tab in the top right corner of the screen.
Once you click on this button, proceed to the Relink
tab. |

To proceed in telling LabPrints where the high resolution
images are located:
- Click the New Location button
- Locate where the images are via the file browser and click Relink
to Directory
- Once this has been done, click Process.
- LabPrints will now tell you which images were successfully relinked
and which ones were not.
- Ignore any files with the .comp extension.
- You can repeat the relink process for other missing images;
LabPrints will always remember the last successful location.
- (if you have multiple folders of images, relink them one at
a time)

Tips & Tricks: |
- On a PC you can highlight the report and copy and paste it into
a text editor
- If you have edited the images outside of LabPrints, you should
run our batch thumbnail update utility by right clicking (control-click
on mac) on the All Images folder within the Filing/Grouping
utility and selecting Update Thumbnails from Originals.
- If you reset your image count for each shoot within your cameras
and do not use unique filenames within LabPrints between projects;
please be very careful not relink to another folder containing
the same image names.
