Working with pictures

Our customers are often curious to know how Taopix Online Designer works with pictures, and here's what we tell them:

Our clever upload tool means that the Online Designer takes a high quality preview of each picture before the upload begins. This means your customers can start using their photos immediately while the high resolution picture uploads in the background.*
Users can reuse pictures from previously purchased projects, with no need to re-upload.
Our online picture rendering engine makes working with pictures extremely fast for the user - it works behind the scenes, pre-processing the picture at various resolutions so that the closest matched size is always available.

In addition to this, our Online Designer supports a wide range of picture formats including;*

JPEG – RGB / CMYK / Greyscale
TIFF – RGB / CMYK / Greyscale
PNG – RGB / Greyscale
Alpha Channel – RGB / TIFF / PNG

To find out more about how all of this works, including our secure encryption and decryption, visit Taopix Production.

*Clever upload tool does not support CMYK or Alpha Channels
