Picks without the chaos
Proofing galleries your clients can actually use
Send one link. They browse on their own time. They tell you what they love in the guestbook or on individual photos. When you are ready, you deliver finals the same way you always do — no second platform to learn.
Already deliver with ImageEvent? The same album can proof and deliver. After selections, see client gallery delivery. How the viewer works: album page and viewer.
Tools you can mix and match
Guestbook is for overall notes — “we love the aisle shot with grandma.” Per-photo comments pin feedback to one image. For many studios that replaces scribbles on proof prints.
Email selected photos only works if Send Email is on in Global Settings. Check send email before you tell clients they can email picks from the gallery.
Downloads should follow your rules: proofs only, nothing until retouching is done, or off entirely. Settings are in downloading photos and videos.
A proofing workflow that stays simple
One link. Password if you use one. A short email: use the guestbook or comments, mention filenames if that helps you, and give a deadline. Done.
If they go quiet, one reminder with the same link is usually enough — no new ZIP, no “which attachment was that?”
Tips so proofing does not slow you down
Set album order before you send the link. If clients quote filenames, those names should still match your Lightroom or Capture One order. Re-sorting after comments means extra work matching old notes to new positions.
Keep Round 1 and Finals in separate folders so nobody comments on the wrong set. Slideshow and large view use the same viewer — see album page and viewer.
FAQ
Guestbook for general notes, per-photo comments for specific frames. Tell them in your email what you prefer — a one-line example is usually enough.
