Patches

  • Automatic home page update after an FTP transfer : depending on the settings of your account, from the phase 1 and phase 2 editing screens, media can be sent via FTP transfers to servers.
    The home page has been improved so that the “Pending FTP” media counter is automatically updated once media has been sent.
  • “Guest” access to the image bank : the “Images” display in the image bank has been reworked for guests. Media download in PDF is available.

Marketplace & AI module: new classification

In order to homogenize a large number of images for marketplaces, we have developed a new AI algorithm that determines whether an image can be cropped or not.
For example, an ambience image can in some cases have a coherent rendering after cropping and applying a plain background. A subject zoom does not need to be cropped. This algorithm will thus perfect the classification and the automatic sending of visuals for retouching.

Marketplace & AI module: new definition of an environment

Grand Shooting integrates into its commercial offer, an offer dedicated to visual processing for marketplaces. A series of AI algorithms and treatments are deployed to automate treatments.
One of our algorithms allows the qualification of media according to a first classification: packshot/model/packshot + ambiance or model + ambiance.
The definition of an environment has been redesigned to better match the needs of brands and marketplaces: it is a scene of life, whether outside or inside.

Producers: show the number of photos “to be exported” on the Home

Producer accounts have access to a table on the home page that allows you to monitor productions. How many media were shot? How many need to be touched up, etc...
In a previous version, we added the possibility from the editing screens to filter on the media “to be exported”.

In this new version, it is possible to use this counter on the home page.
From the home page, click on the settings button:

Activate the “To be exported” column and click on Save

This counter shows the number of files that were not exported for validation.

Note that a file can be in both “Retouched” and “To be exported” status. Once the exports are generated and the files are validated, the counter will change to 0.
