Photo proofing software

A photo proofing gallery that ends in a final pick.

Your client hearts favorites up to the number in their package, notes what a frame needs and presses Submit selection. The list reaches you by email, ready to filter in Lightroom or Capture One.

The limit

A proofing limit that matches the package.

Sold thirty retouched images? Set the limit to thirty. Your client sees the count as they go, and at the limit the heart stops: to pick another, they let one go. The talk about extras happens before you edit, not halfway through.

  • Set the limit per gallery
  • Name the list, say Album picks
Notes

Client notes on the photo, not in a message thread.

Switch on comments and your client writes on any photo from the full-screen view: crop it tighter, warmer, this one for the album. Every note shows in your gallery screen beside the photo and the name of who wrote it.

  • One note per photo, per person
  • All notes in one list
Who picked what

Everyone in the gallery gets their own list.

The first heart asks for a name, and an email if you want one. The couple, a parent and the planner can all choose in one gallery, each with their own picks and notes under Clients. Someone changes their mind and submits again? You hear about it again.

  • Each person has their own limit
  • A new email on every submit
Export

Export the selection to Lightroom or Capture One.

Export picks gives you the chosen originals as one zip, a list of filenames to paste into the filter in Lightroom or Capture One, or a spreadsheet with each file, client, note and time. For one person, Copy filenames does it from their row.

  • Filenames .txt

FAQ

Questions, answered

More in the help center

What is a proofing gallery?

An online gallery where your client looks through the shoot and chooses the photos you will edit or put in the album. In Capturely it is the same link you deliver in: switch favorites on, set the limit, and your client hearts, comments and submits from any phone or laptop.

Can my client change their picks after submitting?

Yes. They can remove a heart, add another and submit again. You are told on every submission, so you always work from their latest list.

How do the picks get into Lightroom or Capture One?

Press Export picks and choose Filenames .txt. Paste the list into the filename filter and only the chosen frames show in your catalogue.

Can clients proof without downloading the files?

Yes. Switch downloads off and add your watermark, and the gallery is view only while your client chooses. Switch downloads on when you deliver.

Can clients leave a review of the gallery?

Yes. With reviews on, clients can give the gallery a star rating and a note at the bottom of the page, and you can offer the review box right after they download. Reviews and the average rating show on your gallery page.

Is proofing included on the Free plan?

Yes. Favorites, limits, notes, submissions and exports are on every plan, Free included.
