Setting up the Open In External Editor
tool
LabPrints
is a nondestructive program, we will not harm or modify your original
images in any way. What you see in Digital Studio are
low resolution thumbnail images that are just a fraction of the quality
of your original images. This means that if you edit your original images
outside of Digital Studio you will not see the changes
made. There is a tool in Digital Studio called the Open
in External Editor tool that will assist you in updating the
thumbnails in Digital Studio. This tool will open your
original High-Res image in an Image-Editor so you can
retouch your pictures, it will then update the low-res thumbnail in LP
Digital Studio so you see the most recent update. |

executable file for the image editor. Most photographers are going to
be setting this tool up with Adobe Photoshop, an example
path would be:
- PC: C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Photoshop.exe
- MAC: HD:/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Photoshop.app
If you do not have extensions showing on your computer, you will need
