Proofing gallery

Pick first, then edit.

In proofing mode your clients review previews and build their package from them. Afterwards you edit the images that were actually ordered.

Two modes

One gallery, two ways of working.

You switch modes at the top of the gallery editor, in both directions. Images, sets and passwords stay where they are.

Delivery

Every image is ready to download. This is how you work once the editing is done.

Proofing

Protected previews, a password of its own, an allowance per set. This is how you work before that.

Four steps to the order.

From the unedited upload to the file list in Lightroom.

1
Upload previews

Unedited images in sets, straight out of the camera.

2
Clients pick

They open the gallery with the proofing password and mark their images.

3
Settle the requests

Notes sit on the image, and your reply sits next to them.

4
Submit the selection

The selection freezes, and you get the file names.

Allowance

One number per set, included in the price.

Ten from “Portraits”, five from “Family”: for each set you decide how many images the package includes. A set without an allowance does not count towards it.

When someone wants more

Two ways, and you decide per gallery: the selection stops at the limit, or the image goes onto an extras list. You release those after talking it through, one by one or all at once.

Will do while editing.

Done
On the image, not in your inbox

Requests sit where they belong.

Your clients write a note on any image, and you reply on that same image. New messages appear on both sides without a reload. If several pile up, you get a summary by email.

Photographer’s Choice

Your recommendations get a red bookmark. Your clients filter by it with the “Recommended” button, which only shows up in sets where you marked something.

Preview protection

Previews nobody walks off with by accident.

Right-click and dragging are blocked. On top of that there is a diagonal blur: one half of the image stays sharp, the other is clouded, and the sides swap as the cursor moves.

You can also lay a watermark over the previews. The downloads you release arrive clean.

Honestly

There is no reliable way to stop image theft by screenshot, in any web gallery. We raise the bar as far as it goes: the blur, the watermark and the blocked mouse commands make copying an effort.

After the selection

The selection lands in Lightroom.

You get the file names as a list to copy, in the format of the Lightroom text filter. With the plugin you pull the selection straight into a collection.

Copy selection
IMG_2481.CR3, IMG_2496.CR3, IMG_2503.CR3,
IMG_2517.CR3, IMG_2524.CR3, IMG_2540.CR3
Replace image

You drop the edited file onto the same tile. Selection and notes stay on the image, because it is the same image.

Release the download

Whether the picked images are available right away or only after your editing is set per gallery. On request a message goes to your clients as soon as you release them.

Repeat orders

If someone orders more later, you open a new round. Images already paid for stay locked, and the allowance counts across all rounds.

Every step is in the log.

Submission, reopening, released extras, new rounds, each with a timestamp and the file names. The log stays readable long after the gallery has expired.

Let your clients pick.
