S.O.S. is our new Syltrex Order System. By clicking on the S.O.S. link to the right , you'll download a small java-based program that makes digital ordering easy! The software runs on most flavours of Windows from 98 to XP Pro as well as on Mac OS X. If you don't have the current version of Java installed, the program will help you download it. It may take a few minutes to load up the program because we have so many products. We currently do not have prices listed in the S.O.S. program.

Once you've downloaded the software, you are prompted (once) for some basic information, such as name and address and Customer ID (If you don't have one enter 200). If you need to make changes to your information, click on the My Information button. Now you can start using S.O.S. The easy-to-use interface can be learned within a couple of minutes.

The Left side of the window is where you work with Products. The Sizes button opens menus with the different Photo Products we have. The Zoom slider lets you enlarge a portion of the image to fill the Product. Rotate Layout rotates the Product orientation in increments of 90 degrees. Rotate Image turns the image in 90 degree increments. The arrow beside that button allows any angle of rotation. If you mouse over any button, a tool tip will tell you what the button does.

The Right side of the window is where you see your images. Click on the Folder icon to tell S.O.S. where your image files are. S.O.S. brings up thumbnails of your images. The Zoom button lincreases or decreases the size of the thumbnails. Drag the images to the Product window. Click the Add to Order Button to choose this Product for your order. You can change size, quantity, rotation and cropping. You can also choose whether the images will be printed Color, B&W or Sepia (and instantly see the results). Our User's Manual is available in pdf format.

At any time, you can see and change which prints you've ordered with the Review Order button. When you're done with your images, S.O.S. can send your order to us via FTP to our server. When we receive the order, S.O.S. will send a confirmation e-mail to let you know that we've received your order.

Over the next few weeks, we also be adding more products to S.O.S. If you have suggestions of products you'd like to see us offer, please let us know.
