Online Photo Proofing Software
Online proofing software lets a client browse a private gallery, mark favourites, and approve final selects — without a single email thread of numbered screenshots.
Proofing is the step between shooting and delivering: the client looks at a set of images and picks which ones they want retouched, printed, or included in an album. Online proofing software turns that into a private gallery with a favourite button, instead of a spreadsheet of image numbers.
How proofing actually works
- You upload a watermarked, low-res proofing set so nothing valuable leaks before it's paid for.
- The client opens a private link, scrolls the set, and clicks a heart on the ones they want.
- You see the favourited list on your side and move straight to editing or an album layout.
Where it saves the most time
Wedding and album work benefit most, since a couple choosing 40 images out of 800 by email is genuinely painful to track. A proofing gallery turns that into a single list you can export directly into an album designer.
lemon.gallery's proofing flow
Favourites are built into every gallery at no extra cost, gated by the same email or PIN access as the rest of the delivery, and the favourited list feeds straight into album creation — no separate proofing subscription required.
Frequently asked questions
Do clients need an account to leave favourites?
No — they open the gallery link and, if you've required it, enter their email once. Favourites are tied to that email so you can see who picked what.
Can I limit how many photos a client can select?
You can communicate a limit in the gallery message; the platform itself doesn't hard-cap favourites, since some packages include unlimited selects.
Is proofing included in the free plan?
Yes — favourites and proofing work on any gallery, including on the free 8GB plan.
