Introduction

When taking model images it is often done with the intent to visualise one of the products in the image but the model will always ware other products as well. The normal procedure for this is to create a "Hero image" and then complement that image with information about the related "look products".

In ProStudio we can do all this prior to capturing the actual image itself. This depends on the fact that we have all the product information already available in the system. This allows us to create the look already in the planning phase as well as on set, all depending on your preferred mode of operation.

In this example you can see the main image on the product unders "Assets" and the look product under the line "Look products"

The creation of Look products s is done on the Work Order and can be done both in the planning phase as well as on set while photographing. There are essentially two ways to add a look product to ProStudio.

1. Scan or search look products
2. Import look products via excel

Create a look product via scan or search look products

This is the way to work if you are already on set or if you are adding just a few look products to a photo shoot.

1. Open up the selected Work Order
2. Select the "Products" tab on the Work Order
3. Click on the product you want to be your Hero product
   1. A panel will open on the right hand side
4. Click in the "Look products" row
   1. A search panel will open
5. Place the cursor in the search frame
   1. Now you may use the barcode scanner or search
6. Perform your search or scan
   1. If you only get one hit, it will automatically be added
   2. If you get multiple hits, you get a list to select from, like in the example here
7. Look products are now added as shown above
8. If you want to remove the look products, simply blick on the "X" in the look product in the panel to the right.

This allows you to quickly add or change your looks on set if you need to do last minute changes.

NOTE: To search or scan for Look products, they must allready exist in ProStudio. Make sure that you have already imported them into ProStudio before you start. 

Create Look product via excel.

You can also create look products using excel. This allows you to import product data and, at the same time import the relation between a Hero product and the related Look products. To do this you first need to prepare the excel and second, you need to import the data into ProStudio

Create the Look products excel

The first thing you need to decide is weather you simply want to import the relation between already imported Hero product and Look products or if you also want to import all the product data. 

If you also want to import all the product information, please make sure that all the required data is filled out, much the same as is described in "Importing product information using excel". If you only want to import look product relations you only need to create an excel with a column of the unique identifier. 

Then, regardless if you want to add relations only or add product information simultaneously, do the following:

1. Add a column in the end of the excel spreadsheet
2. Add the unique identifier of the look product
3. If you want to add more than one look product to a hero product
   1. Duplicate the hero product and add the second Look product on the new line
4. Continue until all the products that need Look products are updated.
5. Continue to import the look product, see below

Import the look product

Do the following steps:

1. Select the right Work Order
2. Select the Products tab on the Work Order
3. Select Action/Import
4. Validate that it is the right Work Order selected
5. Select the excel file to import
6. Match columns with product info
7. IMPORTANT: mach the column called "Look products by identifier"
8. Continue the import process as before
