Exporting assets in FotoWeb Pro

Select the file you want to export and open the Asset information panel by pressing T on the keyboard.

Select CMS export at the bottom of the Information tab to start the export wizard.

Tuning the exported picture

The export dialog that appears allows you to tune the exported picture to appear exactly the way you want it to on your CMS.

The following adjustments can be made:

• Add a caption below the picture and a tooltip that shows when a user hovers the mouse over the embedded picture.
• Add a click action that controls what happens when a user clicks on the picture embedded in the CMS.
• Add panning effects to the embedded picture
• Crop and size the picture before embedding
• Add nice filters to enhance the picture's appearance
• Add publication information to the picture to control its expiry date and where it's been used

In addition to these points, you can store a number of adjustments as a preset for use later. A site administrator can also share these presets with other users on the system who have access to the CMS export module.

Note: The site administrator may have reduced the number of adjustment options available in the CMS export dialog.

Publishing the ready-tuned picture

After making adjustments, select Publish to create a permalink to the picture for use in your CMS.

When a file is exported, two types of JPEG output are created. The first is a direct link to the file that can be added in an IMG tag in your CMS system, while the other is an HTML iframe block that is required for any special effects you choose when setting your options. (Specifically, the settings found under the Caption, Action, and Behavior tabs in the export module require the iframe version.)

Note: The pictures exported from the CMS module will be stripped of the XMP metadata that was stored in the original file to reduce the size of the file and make it load faster on the site where it's embedded. This is also a security measure that prevents potentially sensitive metadata being released publicly.
