Section 4: ROES Tech Support
1. I am having problems downloading ROES (Pro or Easy), what can I
do?
Try these following actions:
- Turn off any pop up blockers
- Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive
- Dialup connections may cause a delay or not allow you to download the software at all
2. How do I crop my images? (ROES PRO ONLY)
You can crop your images in ROES and have the option to “Crop
to Fit.” This allows you to keep your entire image within the
print size you select. However, white borders will be in place
of where your photo would tend to crop. Keep in mind, most digital
cameras format images at a 2:3 ratio, meaning a full frame photo
would be a 4x6 print size, while an 8x10 print size would require
two (2) inches of cropping. Please be aware of this while shooting
and make sure to leave enough space for cropping.
Photoshop is another great way to crop. Simply use the crop tool
in your Photoshop program and your images will be ready to be
ordered using the ROES templates. You can order all of your images
with one drag and drop when they are already cropped to size.
In ROES, simply select all of the images that you want to order
in one size and drag them into the template. A prompt will appear
asking if you would like to add all of the images selected to
your order. This eliminates the need to press the “Add to Order”
button after dragging your images into the template.
3. My order is ready to upload, but I keep getting a sending error…what
should I do? (ROES PRO & EASY)
The most common reason for an error during sending is a firewall.
Please temporarily turn off your firewall and your order should
promptly begin uploading. Another suggestion is to locate the
.roescache folder on your computer and delete the contents.
For PC users: Simply click “Start”, “Search”, type in .roescache
in the search for all files and folders. Locate the folder and
select all of the contents, then delete them.
For Mac users: Simply click on the “Finder” button and type in
.roescache in the search.
Note: This folder may be hidden, once located select all of the
contents, and then delete them.
