Photo File Creator

Photo File Creator

This program will create a csv file for the photographer in advance of the picture taking sessions. The file will help the photographer create photos that import into JPams for students.

NOTE: If the file is opened in Excel, DO NOT SAVE IT. It will change the file. Excel will trim off the leading 0’s on a student’s ID and cause problems for the photographer. If the file is opened in Excel, please be sure to just close it without saving.
