What Is Online Proofing?
Online proofing is the process of a client browsing a private gallery of watermarked images and marking their favourites before final delivery.
Online proofing is the step between shooting and final delivery: a client views a set of images in a private gallery and selects which ones they want retouched, printed, or included in an album.
It replaces older methods like a printed contact sheet or numbered email selections, letting a client mark favourites directly in the gallery instead.
Frequently asked questions
Does proofing require a separate tool from the delivery gallery?
Not necessarily — most modern gallery platforms include favouriting as a built-in feature rather than a separate proofing product.
