A Graphx product New

Check it, fix it, print it. Every Picsha order, from one screen.

Picsha Lab is where your Picsha App orders become finished work. Every order from Prints, Retouch, Posters, Cards, Books and Gifts lands in one queue, whether the customer placed it online or at your kiosk. Fix a crop where it sits, reopen a mug or a photo book in the editor that made it, and send it to the printers and minilabs you already own. It builds on the award-winning Photogize and RasterPlus, with a modern interface and more capability, and it runs in a browser on any Mac or PC. Free, on as many workstations as you like.

An order with a problem, fixed and printed, in 30 seconds.

Picsha Lab in three panels: on the left the order queue, with orders from Picsha Books, Cards, Posters, Prints and Retouch and each store order number; in the middle a Cards order open with its customer and pickup details; on the right the order's two jobs in Order Preview with Download, Print, Edit and Rework buttons, and its print jobs marked Sent
The Lab at Fernwood Photo & Print, our demo store: the order queue, the order’s details, and its jobs ready to edit, rework or print.

Preflight, in place

Most orders are fine. The Lab is built for the ones that aren’t, so you fix them without leaving the order.

Edit on the order

Select a print and press Edit. Crop, filter, fine-tune, annotate, add a frame or a sticker, resize. Press Done and the order prints the new version.

Start from the customer’s original

Picsha Prints sends the customer’s own photo with the order, so Edit opens that original with their crop, adjustments, filter and frame applied. Change any of them, and the Lab writes a new full-size print file.

Nothing is lost

Reopen an edited job and you are back at the original with your edits on top, ready to change or undo. The order’s status does not move and the customer sees nothing.

See what will print

Each job shows the size it prints at, such as “(1) 11 inch · 11 × 16.5 in”, so a poster named by one side is never mistaken for another size.

Photogize Rework, for everything that isn’t a plain print

A mug, a folded card or a 40-page book is not a photo with a crop. Only the editor that made it can change it. Photogize Rework, our own technology, opens that editor from the Lab with the customer’s design loaded.

Gifts, cards and calendars

The same editor the customer used. Move or swap a photo, fix the wording, change the layout, save.

Posters and restored photos

Render a new version with a different style, title or instruction, look at the preview, and use it. The full-size file replaces every print job on the order.

Photo books

Swap or restore pages, edit headings and captions, change the title or the look. Only the pages you changed are sent again.

Same order, same price

A rework changes how the product looks and nothing else: product, size, quantity, price and order number stay as the customer paid for them. The job shows who reworked it and when.

Safe while it’s open

An order being reworked is held back from automatic printing until you save or cancel, and nobody else can start a second rework on it.

The Picsha Cards editor, opened by Rework from the Lab, headed Reworking order 3bad074a: the order's two photos, the front of the customer's holiday card with its text fields, and a Save and make the files again button

Prints to what you already own

The Lab runs in your browser. Printing is done by Picsha PrintServer, a small Windows program on the PC that can reach your printers. Operators’ own machines, Mac or PC, need nothing installed.

Modern printers, at their own resolution

Any printer installed in Windows is a destination: inkjet, dye-sub, wide-format. Jobs are rendered at the printer’s own resolution, so today’s very high resolution devices get every pixel.

Legacy minilabs, too

Hot-folder output for Noritsu, Agfa d-lab and Fuji Frontier minilabs, written the way the minilab expects, with your channels and print codes. Tell us what you run and we’ll set it up with you.

One preset per paper

Capture the driver settings for “4×6 Luster” once on the lab PC. Tell the Lab which paper is loaded now, and jobs for other papers wait.

Every product knows where to go

Route each product to a printer and preset, a channel or a print code. Match by size routes new products to the preset of their paper size, after you confirm the list.

Automatic printing

Switch it on and paid orders print without a click. An order with a product that has no route says “not printing” and tells you why.

Never twice by accident

If a job is interrupted while it is being sent, the Lab says Check printer and waits for you. Nothing reprints until you choose.

The Lab's Settings, Printers page: a print server shown Online, one Windows print queue with six paper presets and a Loaded now choice, a Noritsu hot folder with one channel, and the Automatic printing switch turned on

Coming from Photogize Lab?

Picsha Lab is where our lab software goes next. It stands on two award winners: Photogize, a Photo Trade News Top Product of the Year in 2003, and RasterPlus, a DIMA award winner at the PMA Show in 2000. Picsha Lab takes orders from your Picsha Apps, and every Picsha App runs online and on a kiosk. So Picsha Lab with the Picsha Apps can completely replace Photogize Lab, PhotoCentral and Photogize Kiosk: the same counter, the same printers, one modern stack. Move when you’re ready. Photogize Lab stays fully supported in the meantime. Photogize Lab support →
