Product updates

A simpler new project form

Creating a project now asks for just what the gallery needs: the gallery type with its details (downloads for Static, the selection limit and extra-retouch price for Proofing, the price for Selling) and the design to start from (Studio default, a theme, or one of your saved designs). The watermark and all the look options live in Gallery settings, where you can see them live on the preview.

Client view shows exactly what your client sees

Client view on a project now shows the real client gallery instead of a simplified one: the proofing filter bar, hearts, selection checks, and Submit button, the Buy buttons and cart on a selling gallery, and the download button when downloads are on. It also shows your client's current favorites and selections. It is read-only, so you can look around freely without changing anything.

Every gallery setting in one place

The gallery design editor and the Gallery settings window are now one full-screen Editor, opened from "Gallery settings" on each project. Gallery type, price, layout, comments, and watermark sit at the top, with theme, fonts, colors, and the rest of the design below, all with a live preview. The watermark now updates live on the preview as you adjust it, and Save saves your changes and takes you straight back to the project. The "Preview" button is now "Client view", since it opens what your client actually sees through their link.

Gallery zoom targets where you click

In the full-screen photo viewer, clicking (or scrolling) to zoom now zooms in on the exact spot you point at, like someone's eyes to check focus, instead of always the center of the photo.

Galleries load faster and sharper

Gallery photos are now delivered sized for each device and in modern image formats, so a gallery loads noticeably faster on a phone and looks crisper on a high-resolution screen. Nothing changes in how you set up a gallery.

One sign-in across a shared project

On a public or shared project, entering your name and email once, to leave a comment or to buy, now signs you in everywhere, so you are not asked again when you go to purchase. A sign-in prompt is on both the project page and the gallery, and the magic-link email returns you to wherever you asked for it. Pulling up your past purchases and receipts still asks you to click the emailed link first, so no one can see your photos by guessing your email.

Buying from a shared project link

Selling on the shared whole-project link now matches the gallery-only link: a "Bought photos here before?" email sign-in brings back your purchases to re-download or buy more, the Pay button clearly shows a spinner while your payment goes through, and the download page has a "Back to gallery" link so you can keep browsing after you buy.

One-click sharing

Sharing a project is now a "Share" button in the header and right above the gallery, instead of being tucked in a menu. Flip a simple on/off switch to turn the client link (or a gallery-only link) on, copy it, or email it.

Clearer late-fee status on bank payments

While a client's bank transfer (ACH) is clearing, the invoice now shows the late fee is on hold instead of "applies if overdue," so no one worries about a fee on a payment that's already on its way.

Clearer bank-payment emails for clients

When a client pays by bank transfer, their receipt now leads with a clear "payment is on the way" message and notes it typically clears in 3 to 5 business days, so it's never mistaken for fully settled.

Reminders pause during a pending bank payment

Automatic payment reminders now hold while a client's bank transfer is clearing, so clients don't get nudged for a payment they've already made.

New project page clarity

Clearer gallery options (static to view, proofing to select, or a la carte to purchase), a heads-up that you'll add photos and files on the next step, and a sign-in button that shows its progress.
