Photo proofing

What options do I have for selling during the proofing process?

We offer two different options:

  • If your client has already paid for a certain number of photos they can make extra selections by paying for them.  Now check the box “Allow client to select more than the set maximum” and you can add a custom message that will display to your clients when they exceed the maximum selection.  Now check the “Use our upsell feature and charge client’s when they wish to select more than your set maximum” and set the pricing plan for this project.  When your client makes their selection they will be charged appropriately.
  • Alternatively if you have not previously arranged anything with your client you can charge them for every selection they make.  All you need to do is set the pricing plan for this project.  Your client will be charged appropriately based on your set plan.
If you don’t wish to charge your clients at all you can set the minimum and maximum selection to the number of photos you’ve uploaded.

What’s client photo proofing?

Photo proofing refers to digital or online proofing where the photographer shows their clients softcopy images to allow them to make their final selection.

How does VotaPhoto protect my work during photo proofing process?

All photos are right-click protected to prevent clients from downloading them. Photos are also resized before the client can view them so even if they take a screenshot the quality will not be high enough for them to print it properly. Watermarks are also optionally added based on your settings to photos. To setup watermarks please see My client would like to download the full resolution photos. How can I allow them do this?

Can I limit the number of photos clients can select?

Yes, you are able to set the minimum and maximum number of photo selections a client can make. You may optionally allow clients to select more than the maximum and set a message for them if they do. For example if you have set the maximum number of photos at 10 and your client selects more you may add a message such as “Your package includes up to 10 photo selections. Each additional photo selected will incur an additional charge of…”

Will I get a notification when my client had made their selection?

Once your client has submitted their selection the project manager will receive an email notification. A notification message will also appear in the admin control panel. To see your client’s final selection go to the project page and selected media will be indicated with a red border.

Can my client leave me comments?

Yes, your client can leave comments on individual photos or videos. They also have the option of leaving you an overall general comment for the entire project.
