Overview

StudioCloud entered into a partnership with TimeExposure, the maker of ProSelect.  Details on that partnership are available here: http://blog.studiocloud.com/2014/01/studiocloud-and-proselect-integration.html  

This integration requires ProSelect version 2014r1 or newer.

ProSelect To StudioCloud Integration

If you need details for the integration options available in ProSelect then please see the ProSelect Reference Manual which can be downloaded from the website http://www.timeexposure.com/downloads_ps.php or can be accessed in the ProSelect software by clicking the Help menu button and selecting the option labeled "Open Reference Manual".  In the reference manual you will find a section on the integration features of ProSelect in StudioCloud.

You can also download the section of the ProSelect Reference Manual dealing with StudioCloud integration to this support article at http://studiocloud.com/ProSelectManual-StudioCloud.pdf

The instructions below are specifically addressing those features that are available in StudioCloud for working with ProSelect.

Troubleshooting

There are a few things to be aware of when working with ProSelect from StudioCloud.

• Most of the functionality in StudioCloud that integrates with ProSelect does require ProSelect to be open on your computer.  StudioCloud has made efforts to have your computer open ProSelect if it is not already open but we cannot guarantee that will work on every computer.
• StudioCloud is a cloud-based application and as a result you might have a ProSelect album on one computer linked to a StudioCloud event.  But then you view the StudioCloud event on another computer and the integration no longer works.  We have tried to make sure that the error messages are as informative as possible.
• Currently all integration features are built in to the Edit Event window in StudioCloud.  So if you want to use the integration features with a new event you will first need to save the event and then edit the event.
