Initial Window

Upon startup, you are presented with the FTProofsheet window. FTProofsheet knows how to connect to the lab server, and you simply enter your lab-supplied user code. The checkbox gives you the option of seeing your code in plain text, or in "password" style.

FTProofsheet uses "film rolls" as metaphors for directories. These correspond to the actual rolls you sent for processing--or the lab has made up a "roll" for an order from cut film.

When you receive your listing, you will see one or more rolls in a tree view. Expanding any of the roll trees will reveal a list of the enclosed images. You may select any item in the list to see its preview image. The reasons why you might wish to browse your images, before downloading, will be covered in the next section.

Browsing Images

Note: When you first log in, FTProofsheet builds a cache of the rolls' preview images, and you are notified that this is in progress. This will take several seconds, depending on how many rolls/images are in your directory.
