You can customize VP Imaging on an office-by-office basis for special situations, including modifying the order in which images are auto imported, adding extra images to the montage and changing layouts.
About Advanced Settings: All VP Imaging advanced settings are saved in the Ourimaging.ini file, found in the "Path to Images" folder defined by your VP Imaging properties. To configure advanced settings, you must edit this file. If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable editing program files, please contact Ortho2 for assistance.
Copy Current Settings: We highly recommend making a copy of your Ourimaging.ini file, and naming it Ourimaging.ini.old before proceeding. This provides a safety net if you make a mistake while editing the file.
Edit Advanced Settings: Use a text editor to open the Ourimaging.ini file. It is important that you make changes to the Ourimaging.ini located in the “Path to Images” directory of your VP Imaging properties. (See "Activate VP Imaging Integration" for more information.
Each section of the Ourimaging.ini file can be configured for your specific circumstances. Be careful not to change the name of the sections, or that feature will no longer function in VP Imaging.
Advanced Setting |
Purpose |
Action |
Add /edit image type |
Add or change the names of image types. |
Section: [ImageName] Show
me... Do: Add the next number to the end of the list and type the image name. Example: 35=Lateral facial smiling This adds an image named "Lateral facial smiling" to your patient images. You can also edit image names to better meet your office needs. |
Change import order |
Change the order in which Auto Import adds your images to match the order you take images on your digital camera. See "Auto Import Images" for more information. |
Section: [ImportOrder] Show
me... Do: List image numbers in the order you take them with your digital camera. Example: Imagine you take your images in this order: Facial smile, facial resting, facial lateral, maxillary occlusal, mandibular occlusal, intraoral right, intraoral anterior, intraoral left. Assuming you have not changed the default [ImageName] settings (see above), your [ImportOrder] should look like this: [ImportOrder] |
Auto rotate |
Rotate images 180 degrees upon importing them into VP Imaging to compensate for images taken with mirrors. |
Section: [AutoRotateOnImport]
Show
me... Do: List image numbers that you want rotated 180 degrees on importing into VP Imaging. Or, delete images from the list if you do not want them rotated. Example: By default, VP Imaging auto rotates the mandibular and maxillary occlusal images, as shown below (assuming you have not changed the default [ImageName] settings). [AutoRotateOnImport] |
Auto flip |
Flip image vertically (upside down) or horizontally (right to left) upon importing them into VP Imaging. |
Section: [AutoFlipVertOnImport]
/ [AutoFlipHorizOnImport] Show
me... Do: List image numbers that you want flipped vertically (upside down) or horizontally (right to left) on importing into VP Imaging. Or, delete images from the list if you do not want them flipped. Example:
[AutoFlipVertOnImport] Assuming you have not changed the default [ImageName] settings, this would cause the facial smile image to be flipped upside down when imported. |
Patient ID label |
Burn permanent patient identification label onto image. |
Section: [BurnInfoIntoImage]
Show
me... Do: List image numbers that you want labeled with permanent patient identification. Example:

Panorex orientation label |
Add panorex orientation (i.e. "R" or "L") label to images. |
Section: [PanorexOrientation]

[PanorexOrientation] Assuming you have not changed the default [ImageName] settings, this would cause the Panorex 1 image to include the label "R", and the Panorex 2 image to include the label "L". See "Panorex Orientation Label" for more information. |
Date format |
When you burn a label onto your images, you can choose either the American format (mm/dd/yy) or the Standard format (yyyy/mm/dd). |
Section: [AmericanDate] Show

Add orthodontist name to images. |
Section: [BurnDoctorAbbr] Show

Section: [BurnPracticeName]
Show
me... Do: List the images you want labeled with your practice name. Example:
