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 JCampus for students.
Note: Please do not use Excel to open or save the file created from this utility. Excel will trim off the leading zero on a student's ID and cause problems for the photographer.
