A Comprehensive Solution for Studio Management

From the time your customer engages your services

to the time the product is delivered and billed,

Canon’s Studio Solution works with you to make

sure you and your staff are making the most efficient

use of time. Workflow operations — from staff

scheduling to image capture, photo retouching to

printing, inventory control to supplies ordering,

client presentation and sales to invoicing — are

all simplified and largely automated by Canon’s

Studio Solution software. Customer, employee and

image information are maintained in a central

database for easy access and seamless integration.

At every step along the way,

Canon’s Studio Solution

gives you full control while

enabling you to build a

seamlessly integrated,

highly efficient business.

Consider all the different

software titles a typical

photo studio might use for

its daily operation. Specific

programs are required to

maintain customer and vendor databases and

enable scheduling. Other programs are required

for digital image capture and retouching. Still

others are needed for organizing and archiving

image libraries. Presenting the images to

clients, taking and fulfilling orders, and billing

for your products and services also typically

require additional software. Moreover, in many

cases, these software tools run on separate

computers that do not “talk” to each other.

The cost for such setups is high, not only because

numerous software titles must be purchased,

installed and maintained by trained operators, but

also because their task-dedicated nature creates

gaping inefficiencies in the workflow. Canon’s

Studio Solution puts an end to wasted time

and money by consolidating, integrating and

simplifying. The software has power built-in to

handle your studio’s many needs, yet it gives

you a simplified, smooth interface designed to

enhance your workflow, not get in the way.

Canon’s Studio Solution image processing employs

nothing less than state-of-the-art, proprietary

Canon technologies. You put these technologies

to work the moment you

press the shutter release

button on your Canon EOS

Digital SLR. Whether you

shoot RAW or JPEG, Studio

Solution provides a trans-

parent, non-destructive

image processing workflow

that ensures outstanding

photographs and a brilliant

finished product for your

customer. With RAW

images, Studio Solution

makes full use of Canon Digital Photo Professional

(DPP) technology. It comprises a processing

engine that employs Canon proprietary algorithms

to maintain the highest bit depth and widest color

gamut. The resulting images are spectacular —

exquisite in resolution, dynamic range and tonal

subtleties. The RAW workflow also gives you

access to many easy-to-use tools and controls,

like Canon Picture Styles, which greatly

simplify adjustments and enhancements

during image processing. For JPEG shooting,

advanced Canon EOS Digital SLR camera tech-

nologies, such as in-camera DIGIC Image

Processors, ensure superb image capture. Once

shot, or imported into Studio Solution, JPEG

captures are handled non-destructively to maintain

the highest possible image quality. Studio

Solution also gives you control over your Canon

imagePROGRAF and PIXMA Pro printers, maximizing

the remarkable capabilities of these printers to

ensure just as remarkable output. Canon image

processing comprises state-of-the-art color man-

agement, which assures the most accurate and

vibrant color rendition. ICC profiles can be updated

as needed (e.g., typically only whenever a new media

type is added) to ensure consistent, precise color

output when using Canon professional printers.

Studio Solution can help you streamline your

business today, whether yours is a modest

operation or a larger studio with many employees.

The software can be installed and used on a single

personal computer, or it can be configured for use

on multiple networked workstations. Start building

your customer base, or easily import information

from existing databases. Because the software is

server-based, network-friendly and completely

scalable, it will work with you and help you make

critical transitions as your business grows.

Employee management is an important part

of running any business, and Studio Solution puts

you in charge. Using a simple, intuitive interface,

you can enter all pertinent employee information.

Alternately, if you already have employee infor-

mation entered in another application that can

export .csv files, you can save time by importing

that existing database directly into Studio

Solution. Employees can then be assigned specific

roles — for example, photographer, manager, or

sales staff — which the software can then use to

help you with task scheduling and controlling

administrative rights and permissions. You can also

assign work hours to create ongoing staff schedules.

As with employee information,

Studio Solution lets you enter or

import customer information into

its database. In addition to basic

contact information, the software can also keep

track of your customers’ birthdays, and can

link family members. Because a high-powered

relational SQL database engine is at the heart of

Studio Solution management tools, your customer

information is permanently linked to pertinent

image, employee and calendar data for easy

retrieval and reporting.

The powerful Calendar tool in Studio Solution

simplifies important business functions and

provides many useful ways to view the work

schedule. Appointments and booking can be

made directly via

the Calendar. A

studio manager

can then assign

the required staff

and reserve the

needed room or

space for the

anticipated time

slot. An automatic

confirmation call reminder feature makes a calendar

entry one day prior to the shoot so that your staff

can contact customers to minimize no-shows. If

you reschedule the booking, the confirmation call

reminder will automatically update. The Calendar

provides numerous useful views of your studio’s

schedule. Not only can you view events by day,

week, month, etc., you can also call up customized

views, such as “Fridays for the entire month.”

Because Studio Solution keeps track of inventory

and sales in addition to customer and employee

data, it can generate powerful reports that you

can use to analyze and streamline your business.

Such reports can help you make important

decisions, such as what products and services

should be added or deleted from your offerings

and what you should charge for them.

Studio Solution gives you, as system administrator,

complete power over rights

and permissions based on

the roles you assign to your

staff members. For example,

although a photographer on

your staff would be able to

see the original shoot booking

and any associated special customer requirements,

the level of access to the software would prevent

them from making changes to the original order.

In this manner, you can fully control the studio

workflow in a networked environment, assigning

functionality as required for specific staff roles.
