AP Custom question
« on: October 18, 2011, 08:23:47 AM »
Can you explain the uses and difference between the "Apply" and "Merge" click boxes in the AP Custom feature?  Should I use one or the other, or both?
Thanks.

Tom,

Can you explain the uses and difference between the "Apply" and "Merge" click boxes in the AP Custom feature?  Should I use one or the other, or both?

The Apply checkbox determines if the contents will be applied to the selected photos.  It works just like the other 'Apply' checkboxes that you see to the left of all of the other standard fields.

The Merge checkbox determines if the contents will be merged with any existing AP data in the current photo being processed.  If the checkbox is off then any existing AP data in the photo will be replaced with the AP data from the contact sheet.  It works like the '+' checkbox that you see on several of the standard fields like Caption, Photographer and Caption Writer.
