Using the Stockpress plugin for Photoshop
Opening files from the Stockpress plugin
You can open Photoshop or image files from the Stockpress plugin as new Photoshop documents.
To open a file, hover over the file and click the open as a new document icon. If the file type is supported, the file will open as a new Photoshop document. An Opened icon will appear next to every file in the Stockpress plugin that is currently opened in Photoshop. You can jump from document to document by clicking it.
Saving new file versions from Photoshop to Stockpress
If you are editing a file in Photoshop that you opened from the Stockpress plugin, you can save a new version to your workspace right from the plugin.
With the file open, click the save button in the top right of the Mini, which will default to save version. Clicking this will automatically upload the new version of your file into your Stockpress workspace. The number of versions will be visible next to the file in the Mini.
Saving new files from Photoshop to Stockpress
While working on a document in Photoshop, you can save a new PSD into your Stockpress workspace.
If the document is new, the save button will default to Save as new PSD.
The Stockpress upload modal will appear in the plugin. There, you can add a custom file name or description and create or select a Collection in your Stockpress workspace for the file to be uploaded to. If you have file statuses and/or expiration dates enabled in your workspace, you can also fill in these fields, but they are optional.
Once saved, the file will appear in your mini as Opened and will also be saved in your workspace.
Placing layers and Smart Objects
While working on a document in Photoshop, you can place any image file from your Stockpress Mini as a new layer or a new Smart Object.
To place an image file as a layer, hover over the file you want and click add as layer.
To place an image file as a Smart Object, hover over the file you want and click the Add as Smart Object icon.
Exporting jpg, png, or tiff files into Stockpress
While working on a document in Photoshop, you can export the document as a jpg, png, or tiff file into your Stockpress workspace.
With your document open, click the down arrow by your save button and select jpg, png, or tiff.
The Stockpress upload modal will open, where you can add a custom name and description and create or select a Collection in your Stockpress workspace for the image file to be exported to.
