PhotoProofPro
PhotoProofPro is a web-based proofing system for photographers who deliver password-protected galleries and collect client selections. Photographers can record clients, shoots, and orders, and see when clients view proofs or share a page. Each gallery uses a passcode, and its appearance can reflect the studio's branding. Proofing pages are designed for smartphones and tablets. Clients can mark favorites, share proofs for feedback, and optionally use comments or ratings configured for that gallery. After selecting images, a client can place an order; the photographer receives an email containing the selections and special instructions. The interface is available in several languages, with unsupported languages available on request. The free Starter plan provides 250 MB storage and 30 clients. Paid plans list storage, client capacity, unlimited galleries, watermarking, full-resolution downloads, and branding removal; Medium annual is $13 a year billed annually ($156). PhotoProofPro does not print, collect member fees, or fulfill orders.
