Let them pick first. Then edit what counts.
For jobs with an image selection you use a gallery type of its own. Your clients choose from protected previews, mark extra images and write their wishes right on the photo. You see exactly what was ordered before you start editing.

Two gallery types for two different jobs.
A client gallery delivers finished images. A proofing gallery collects the selection first. You can switch a gallery between the two types. Images, sets, comments and access all stay.
View finished images and download them as you allow.
Pick from protected previews, leave wishes and close the order.
From the preview to the binding selection.
Four steps replace lists of file names, single messages and questions by email.
You upload web previews and sort them into sets.
Your clients mark the images they want within the agreed package.
Requests and replies stay on the photo they belong to.
After the close you receive the selection as a file list or as a Lightroom collection.
The booked package is stored in the gallery.
Set for every set how many images are included, say ten portraits and five family photos. Further favourites can be blocked or noted as requested extras. After you have agreed, you release them one by one or together.
You decide per gallery: either the selection stops at the package limit, or further favourites are noted as requested extras. Once you have talked it through, you release them one by one or all at once.
Photographer’s Choice
Please retouch the branch in the top right corner.
Will do while editing.
Change requests sit where they belong.
Your clients write right on the photo. You answer in the same thread and tick off what is done. When several new messages arrive, you get one bundled email instead of collecting single notices.
Mark the images you particularly recommend with “Photographer’s Choice”. In the gallery they can be filtered under “Recommendation”.
A preview should be selectable without replacing a finished file.
Block right-click and dragging, render a watermark into the preview and switch on the diagonal blur if you want. The subject stays easy to judge while a clean screenshot becomes much harder.
You can also lay a watermark over the previews. The downloads you release arrive clean.
Screenshots cannot be reliably prevented in any web gallery. The protective features raise the bar. Complete technical protection is not something they can offer.
The selection comes back into your editing.
Copy the file names for the Lightroom text filter or pull the selection into your catalogue as a collection with the plugin. Then you replace the previews with the finished files. Selection, comments and link all stay. You release the download once the editing is done.
IMG_2517.CR3, IMG_2524.CR3, IMG_2540.CR3
Replace the preview in its old place with the edited file. Selection, comments and link stay as they are.
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.
For repeat orders you open a new round. Images already bought stay marked, and the package limit counts across every round.
Every binding change stays traceable.
Submission, reopening, released extras and new rounds are logged with the time and the file names. The log stays readable after the gallery has expired.
