What is new for photographers

Photography packages requested by photographers

Photographers have written to us asking for a set number of photos to be included in the price of a shoot, with charges applying only to additional images. Photography packages now let you set up exactly that.

For example, include 10 digital photos and charge €6 for each extra photo. As clients make their selection, they can see their allowance and any extra charge. Packages can also include prints in different formats. You can allow additional items for a fee or set a fixed limit.

Save packages you use regularly under Settings → Price list, packages and prints. Choose one in an album and adjust its copy for that particular job. Prepare prices before inviting clients, in the album section Prices, packages and prints. Once a client opens the album, or selections or payments are recorded, package prices and included quantities are locked.

If the shoot has already been paid for, you can charge the client only for extra photos and prints. Packages are available to photographers with a paid licence. You can also continue using the existing individual photo and print price list.

Payment details with the submitted selection

A package can show clients the amount due and your bank details after they submit their selection. Payment details ready at submission are also included in the confirmation email. If they await your approval, the client receives them in another email once you approve them. A payment QR code is shown for supported accounts and currencies.

Clients pay by transfer directly to your account. SelectPhoto does not process these payments. Add your bank account under Settings → Bank accounts. Adding or changing bank details requires two-factor authentication. You can also record deposits and payments against individual selections if you wish. Payment tracking is optional; you can display bank details and the amount due without it.

Your branding in galleries and emails

Alongside your logo, you can now choose a colour palette for albums and client emails under Settings → Appearance and branding. Palettes work with light and dark appearance in Subtle and Bold variants. The setting applies to your whole account. The same section includes previews of different emails, such as album invitations and selection submission confirmations.

A clearer Studio and album management

Album settings and account settings are now divided into separate sections. The album overview gives you access to photos, prices, clients and deadlines. When creating an album, the next steps guide you from uploading photos through pricing to inviting clients.

Studio now has pagination and search suggestions for albums. On mobile, open filters using the button on the right. Under My clients, you can also export client email addresses from albums or from your client directory.

What is new for your clients

More comfortable viewing and selection

We have redesigned the gallery where clients view and choose their photos. Selection, print formats and notes are grouped beside the image. Clients can zoom in, start a slideshow or browse with the side panel open. The gallery follows the app’s light or dark appearance, and its controls adapt to smaller mobile screens.

Photo notes are saved as clients type, so clients do not need to look for a save button after each change.

Both photographers and clients can use the new gallery.

Two photos side by side

The new gallery also includes a two-photo comparison view. When a client is choosing between similar shots, they can view them side by side. They mark two photos in the photo list and open the comparison view to inspect the details of both.

Photo comparison is also available with the Free licence.
