Preferences

You can set default values for various settings throughout the software. Define your preferences for the current session, and, if desired, store the settings in a profile.

The default values appear in various other areas of the software, where they are typically editable for a specific purpose, without changing the stored default values. The default values can be changed only in the Preferences dialog box.

By default, Preps stores profiles in the Preps \Profiles folder in their respective .cfg file. If you are using Preps integrated with the Kodak Prinergy Workflow software, you will find this folder on the Prinergy Workflow primary server.
