With FotoStation Pro you can create input folders that point to a folder on a disk or to a mounted network disc. As files are retrieved, FotoStation Pro will update your folder contents automatically. You can also create output folders, for instance to utilize the file transfer capabilities of other components in the FotoWare product range.

If you need to publish your files on the web, FotoStation Pro may be fully integrated with the FotoWeb internet archive solution that also supports basic HTTP server upload. You can also use FotoStation Pro to create web pages using multimedia files that can be later uploaded to a web server.

FotoStation also includes high-resolution image editing tools and may be integrated with Photoshop when more advanced features are required.

FotoWare is available at a RRP of ?450 excluding VAT.
