New Product Filter

Original Wall Grouping...

Add a Frame...

Add a Mat and Frame...

This feature is turned on by default. You can turn it off by unchecking "Dynamic Sizing (Wall Groupings)" at the top of the Select Surrounding Mat and Select Frame tool popup menus.

When on, Dynamic Sizing will also be used when you drag and drop wall grouping templates to duplicate and swap the templates in Thumbnail view in Working with Layouts.

To learn more about this feature, see the Tutorial Movie: Dynamic Sizing of Layouts for Mats and Frames.

Perfect Arrangements to your Wall Designs

ProSelect 2022r1 now adds "Snap to Gap" to the usual edge & center snap alignment tools available in Working with Rooms.

When dragging the position of an item , the outer edges (including any mat or frame) will now automatically snap to a position that matches the gaps between other already positioned items.

This feature also works the same way in the Template Editor when you have Snap to Objects and Edges turned on and are NOT using the Auto-Spacing feature.

To learn more about this feature, see the Tutorial Movie: Snap to Gap.

Showing the Size of a Wall Design

In Working with Rooms,when more than one item is selected, the overall wall space used, including any mats and frames, is displayed in the Info Bar. This is useful for photographers using an overall size pricing model.

Designing Wall Groupings is even easier in the Template Editor

Use the new Show Surrounding Mat & Frame Spacing tool to show the space used by any applied surrounding mat and frame. Apart from using this tool to visually adjust the position of the openings to allow space for these, you can also turn on the Auto-spacing feature to quickly set the same spacing between the outer edges of any applied mat and/or frame.

The overall size of the template, including any assigned mats or frames, is now displayed below the design area.

When assigning or changing a Surrounding Mat or Frame for a Wall Grouping Template, checking the Keep Same Spacing checkbox will automatically re-adjust the position of the openings and the size of the template to maintain the same gaps between the outside of any new mat or frame combination.

More Frames in ProSelect Pro!

The ProSelect Pro version now allows you to have up to 500 frames to your Available Frames list.

Frame management in the Setup Frames window has been improved - it now shows frame sizes in the Available Frames list and there are new sorting options and a shortcut button to access the Price List setup window.

You can now also display the width frame in the popup and dropdown frame menus.

The default frames in ProSelect include a range of popular frames from GNP Frame. You can download their full collection through the ProSelect Partners downloads page.

New Order Assembly Report

You can use this new report as a printed checklist for completing all steps in your fulfillment process. You can define up to six checkbox columns with legend descriptions customize for your studio.

The optional summary section (at the bottom of this report) shows order counts by Presentation Options, Sizes, Frames, Mats, and Digital Files. This new summary format is also available on the standard Order Report.

Add QR Codes to your Reports

You can add custom QR Codes to your Order Report and Order Assemby Reports.

QR codes can contain job/order/client-specific data by added text tags to the code. For example, you could create a QR code with a website URL containing the client's Account Code or Name to allow you to use a QR reader to open the client's details in a web-based studio management system.

New "Fixed Price by Size" (FPS) Pricing Method

This pricing method is designed to be used for pricing frames or mats from suppliers whose pricing is calculated based on individual sizes. It can also limit size availability to that offered by your lab or framing supplier. When using this Pricing Method, you can add any available sizes and the wholesale price (with a markup) to your selling price for each size.

ProSelect will show you which frames (and mats) are available to match with your selected print or layout size by displaying a green or red icon in the popup menus.

Likewise, once you select a Frame or Mat, ProSelect will show you which sizes can be used with those frames, mats and any combinations of these.

Using FPS for Custom Size Pricing

You can setup your FPS Price Group to "Allow Custom Sizes". When this is selected, any size is allowed (up to the largest offered), but the calculated pricing of any "in-between sizes" is based on the price of the next largest size (by perimeter size or "United Inches").

New Shortcut to Combine Frames, Mats & Extras when Ordering

In the Place Order window, you can now SHIFT-click on the Quick Add button to combine the prices of the Mat and Frame items into the main items price. The mat and frame prices will then be listed as "included."

This shortcut also works in the Custom Product and Add with Extras windows for all positive priced extras.
