Custom Cropping
ZBE WorkStream software allows you to quickly and easily custom crop "on-screen" any or all of the images.

"On-Screen Soft Proofing" Color Correction
ZBE WorkStream software also allows, "on-screen soft proofing" for the entire order. With an ICC profiled monitor what you see (on the screen) is what you will get on the finished print. Color correcting images involves viewing the image and adjusting the color, density, contrast and saturation, as needed. With WorkStream you can color correct a group of images simultaneously, by selecting the images for cropping, then float one of the images to use it as a color reference.

Retouching
WorkStream also supports the retouching of images at the click of button. Open the image that you want to retouch, and click on the retouch button to open the image in Photoshop or whichever retouching program you use. The altered image will be transferred back to WorkStream, ready for printing. |
