Drag a picture from your new folder into Photomechanic(This opens all pictures in that folder)

A Few Final WordsOnce you are finished captioning your photos, close photomechanic and re-open your pictures in it
Double Check to make sure your captions have “stuck”
Do not use the C-fit toning software (that's my job)
Do not change any settings on either the monitor or in photoshop (they are both calibrated to our printing press)
Make sure to get the names of the people in your photos – and make sure they are correct!
