Photo selection / proofing

In short: turn on Photo selection in a person’s access. They mark photos with hearts and tap Finish selection; you get a notification and the list in the Selection group.

The Selection group: two people's selections with counters, and the picked photos marked with their initials

Turn it on

Section titled “Turn it on”
  1. Open the gallery, the Access group, and add or edit an access.
  2. Turn on Photo selection. In Limit, type how many photos the package has, or leave it empty.
  3. If you don’t want to give originals before the selection, turn on Reduced photos for selection: only 2048 px, no downloads.
  4. Tap Save and send the access with Share.

The limit is soft: the client sees “Pick up to 50 photos — a few more is fine”. They can go over — the counter turns grey and you see “52 / 50”.

While the client picks

Section titled “While the client picks”

In the Selection group each access with selection shows Selecting and the count. In the preview pick whose selection to see; with two or more people there are also Together (picked by anyone) and Shared (picked by all). Letters on a photo show who picked it.

When the client finishes

Section titled “When the client finishes”

The client taps Finish selection → Finish and send. Then:

  • you get a notification in the bell and an email, and the home page shows it under Needs attention;
  • the access shows Finished with the date, and the client’s hearts are locked.

To let them change it, tap Reopen selection. When they finish again, you get a new notification.

Next — export the selection to Lightroom, Capture One or CSV.

If it didn’t work

Section titled “If it didn’t work”
  • “No access may select”. Turn on Photo selection in an access.
  • The client has no hearts. They opened the gallery with another password, or in an open gallery without their participant code.
  • The access was revoked. Its selection stays in Selection, only you see it.
