This is Part Two of Managing Hue work files. Click here to know how to set up Hue work files in Gamma.
Set up in Hue
Note: If the setting is disabled in Gamma, users will not see the following in Hue.
After the feature is enabled on your Studio, upon the first login to Hue, you will see this pop-up.
In Hue settings, you can decide if you want to download the working files from CF Cloud if they are available or ask you depending on the case.
When a retoucher picks a task that was not their initial task, Hue will automatically download the work files from the Creative Force Cloud. This work file will keep all of the existing edits from the previous round avoiding doing the task from scratch. For example:
If workflow contains two or more subsequent internal post steps, the work file from the first/previous internal post task will be passed to the next internal post task
When the subsequent task is available in Hue or if a current internal post task is rejected and unassigned, Hue will then download the work files from the cloud (if available), when a user picks the task from the Available tab.
Yes: work files will always be downloaded right after the task is picked
No: work files will never be downloaded
Ask me: each time user picks a task there will be a prompt dialog asking for a decision
When Ask me is selected, after clicking Pick a task, you will be able to select between Create new or Use existing.
Create new: Hue will download the assets and create new work files locally
Use existing: Hue will download all work files from the cloud, or use the files on your computer if they are already present in your Hue Working Folder.
Uploading flow
Each Hue user can also control locally if they want to upload the work files to the Creative Force Cloud. The options supported here are either “Yes” to uploading all work files or “No” to uploading any work files, where “No” is meant for deactivating upload temporarily or for some users where uploading is not needed.
After a user finishes the task and uploads it, Hue will prioritize uploading the Assets first and complete the task. At this time, you will see the message ‘Uploading task details and assets’. Afterward, Hue will upload the work files in the background without blocking the user, you will see the message ‘Uploading work files X%’.
Note:
If the workflow has two levels of Internal Posts, at Internal Post L1, the user chooses not to upload work files to the Cloud, then at Internal Post L2, Hue will download the output of Internal Post L1 and create the work files according to those outputs.
Then upload process is complete, you will see a cloud icon to the left of the checkmark icon. We recommend not closing Hue while the files are in the uploading process. If you close the app while uploading is in progress, the upload will be automatically restarted when the app is opened again.
On the following Internal-post QC, you can also actively download the available work files associated with the task. Please note that this is only available if the retoucher choose to upload their work files to Creative Force Cloud.
