  • RG – Original image
  • BW – Black & White effect

Slideshows created in ProSelect can be exported as fully rendered .mp4 movies in various sizes.  See Working with Slideshows, Exporting Slideshows for full details.

You can create a text file containing a list of all image filenames in the current album using the export feature.  This list is useful for sharing with your lab or for internal reference when processing orders. Because the export is in text format, it can be easily copied and pasted into emails, spreadsheets, or other documents.

1. To begin, go to the top menu, File > Export > Filename List.
2. Save the text file to your computer.
3. This will generate a plain text file grouped into sections:
   • Ordered Images
   • Book Images
   • Yes Images
   • Maybe Images
   • No Images
4. Each filename is listed on its own line.  If effects have been applied to an ordered image, the effect will be shown beside the filename (e.g. B&W for Black & White or ST for Special Tone).

Example Output

ProSelect includes the ability to export orders to most major studio management systems.  If you are using StudioCloud, please refer to the specific section for StudioCloud integration.  Known systems that currently support importing ProSelect Order data are listed in the Studio Management Area on the Third-Party Links page.  You will need to choose either Standard XML, Standard XML for Web (recommended for web-based systems), or CSV when exporting from ProSelect.  For details on how to import this data, refer to your studio management system’s documentation or support team.

Export Format Options

You can export ProSelect order data in one of the following formats:

• Standard XML
  Generates an XML file containing order data alongside a folder of thumbnail images of the ordered items.  This format is typically used for importing into desktop applications.
• Standard XML for Web
  Similar to Standard XML, but the thumbnail images are embedded directly into the XML file using Base64 encoding.  This format is better suited for web-based applications.
• CSV Text
  A comma-separated values file containing order data in plain text format.

How to Export Orders

1. Go to the top menu, Orders > Export Orders.  Or, click the "Export" button at the bottom of the Review Order window.
   
   
   
   
2. Export To: Select your preferred format from the dropdown menu.
3. Check the box next to each client whose order you wish to export.
4. Choose the folder where you want to save the exported files.
5. Click "Export Now."

Quick Tips

• Clients who have already been exported from the current album will be marked with a green check mark.  Re-exporting them may result in duplicate entries in your studio management software.
• Even if your studio management system is Windows-only, you can still export order data from the Mac version of ProSelect.  If your Mac and Windows computers are networked, export the files directly to a shared folder accessible by both systems.

Payment Type Codes

You can define your own payment type codes for use during export. These are configured in the Setup Payments window.  Most studio management systems are compatible with the default payment codes used in ProSelect.  If you modify these codes, ensure they match the expected format in your studio management software.

Export Options

When exporting using the Standard XML for Web format:

• Sample images are embedded directly into the XML file.
• To keep file sizes manageable, these embedded images are automatically resized to fit within 400×400 pixels.
• Individual sample images for ordered products other than prints are not included by default.
• You can override these settings by going to Settings > Pricing & Ordering > Settings > Export Orders Options.
  
  

Quick Tip - Sample Data Set

You can download a sample data set and full format specification here.

You can download a sample data set and full format specification here:
Order_Export_Data_Sample_and_Specs.zip

This package includes:

• A ProSelect album file (Order Export Sample Album.psa) containing sample orders representing all data types.
• Two example export folders showing the output for Standard XML and Standard XML for Web.
• A commented XML file, including explanations using //comment line notation, helpful for developers and integrators.
  
  

The commented XML applies to both export formats and provides guidance for interpreting the structure and content of the order data.

ProSelect allows you to export order details into a standard .CSV (comma-separated values) file that can be opened in most spreadsheet programs such as Numbers, Microsoft Excel, or Google Sheets.

How to Export to CSV

1. Go to the top menu, Orders > Export Orders.
   • Or, click the "Export" button at the bottom of the Review Order window.
     
     
     
     
2. In the Export Orders window, select CSV Text from the format dropdown.
3. Check the box next to each client whose order you want to export.
4. Choose the folder where you want to save the exported file.
5. Click "Export Now."

Clients who have already been exported from the current album will be marked with a green check mark.

Product Codes and Notes

• If you have product codes enabled, these will be included in the exported spreadsheet.
• To include image and order notes in the final column of the CSV file, go to Settings > Pricing & Ordering > Settings > Export Orders Options and enable the relevant checkbox.

Exported Image & Order Notes

Because CSV format restricts the use of line breaks and commas:

• Any newline characters in the image or order notes will be replaced with spaces.
• Any commas will be replaced with hyphens (-).
• Order notes appear after image notes in the same column.
