View & Print Photo Montage

Use the Montage tools of your VP Imaging module to view, copy, and print a one-page montage of your patient's treatment photos. You may optionally include your practice logo in the center of the montage.

VP Imaging Only - This article describes a feature of VP Imaging: If you use Edge Imaging for ViewPoint instead, it does not apply to you. See "Print Patient Images & Layouts" for details about a similar Edge Imaging feature.

Get Started

Include / Omit Logo - To include your logo in the center of the montage, you must have a graphic file named "logo.jpg" in the same folder as your ViewPoint system files (i.e. c:\program files\ortho2.). Generally, a ratio of 2.2:1 is recommended for the logo to print without skewing the image on the montage.If you do not have a "logo.jpg" file, VP Imaging prints your practice name and address in the center of the montage instead.

Practice Name Font - If you do not include your logo in the center of the montage, you can adjust the font size that your practice name appears by adjusting the "MontageFontSize" parameter in the [Settings] section of your Ourimaging.ini advanced settings file. See "Advanced VP Imaging Settings" for details.
