When a photographer shares an album with you for proofing, you can add reactions and comments to the photos, or just select the ones you want to order.
Authorizing an Album for Proofing
When you open the shared album, if it has been enabled for proofing, you will see the Authorize button at the top-right.
You will see a pop-up that asks you for your name and email. You will be able to access the album later on by using the same email.
We will also share your name and email with the photographer, so they can see what reactions and comments you have left.
Adding Reactions
Click Continue and you will see that the reactions are now enabled. Just hover on the photo and click the icon that you feel is most appropriate.
Only select photos you want to include in the order or use the reactions to tell the photographer something about the photo. Whichever way you want to use them is OK.
To remove a reaction, just click it again or click a different reaction if you want to change it. As you select the photos, you will see an overview at the top of the screen.
You can use the buttons to filter the selection e.g. to only show selected photos, only showed “liked” photos, etc.
Adding Comments
If you want to add a comment along with your reaction, click the photo to enter the full-screen view. At the bottom-right you will be able to start typing your comment. Click the Comment button to add it to the photo.
Once you are happy that you have selected all the photos and added all the reactions and comments that you want, you can send your selection to the photographer. Click the Send button at the top right.
Sending Your Selection
A pop-up will open with a summary of the order. Add a message to the photographer and optional comments for each of the reactions you have chosen. For example, if you want prints only of the photos you “favorited” or “liked”, and the other reactions you have just used to give the photographer some feedback, you can indicate that here.
Click Send and all the details will go to the photographer.
If you have added some reactions but are not ready to send them yet, you can leave the album and come back to it at any time to finish off your selection using the same album link and email address.
