Canto's Kodak integration deal to ease online proofing
Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems provider Canto is to provide a new version of its Cumulus product that is integrated with Kodak's RealTimeProof Partner product. This will enable Cumulus to offer remote online proofing.
Canto has developed an integration that leverages the remote proofing, approval management and colour management features of RealTimeProof Partner. This allows customers to reduce cycle times on approvals for digital assets and at the same time to achieve reliable colour management.
The RealTimeProof client application can be invoked from the web after selecting the asset using the Cumulus web application or the Cumulus native client application. That way, users can choose their preferred work environment. In either case, the RealTimeProof client application will allow the previewing of assets, attachment of annotations and comparison of assets.
The integration also taps into the version control system Cumulus offers, allowing to search for specific versions by annotation, or to visually compare different versions of the same asset or even different assets using the Compare feature of RealTimeProof Partner, making it easier to control whether adjustments to an asset were performed as instructed.
"Remote proofing is ready for prime time," said Canto's CEO Jennifer Neumann. "We see strong demand for it with our customer base, as workflows are changing in an effort to significantly cut time to print or other output media."
