Photo proofing
Photo proofing where clients pick favorites directly on the link
Clients star their favorite photos directly on the gallery link you send them. You get a clear, named submission with their choices instead of a messy list in an email.

How proofing works
Turn on proofing and set max picks
You turn on proofing for a gallery and set a max-picks count. Studio defaults can prefill your numbers, and per-gallery overrides let you adjust them for specific shoots.
Client stars their picks
The client opens the link, reviews the thumbnail grid or 2000 px previews, and stars picks while viewing a live "n of max" counter.
Extras show a running price
If you set a price for extras, any picks above your limit show a running total in your chosen currency.
Submission with name and email
The client submits their final selection with their name and email address.
Locked until you reopen it
The submission locks immediately so picks cannot shift by mistake, and you can reopen it anytime if your client wants to make changes.
Paid extras without a checkout
Extra picks above your max limit carry the per-photo price and currency you choose. shoots.page displays this running total directly to your client as they select their favorites, keeping expectations clear before they submit.
shoots.page never collects payments for extras. The displayed price is purely informational, and you settle the balance directly with your client. We focus strictly on the selection process, so our galleries do not include print sales, invoicing, contracts, or storefront tools.
Studio defaults, gallery overrides
Set your preferred proofing rules once as studio-level defaults so every new gallery is ready to go. When an assignment calls for different limits, adjust the max picks, edit the extra-photo rate, or switch proofing off entirely in that gallery's settings.
