A Workflow for Protecting Client Proofs
A simple checklist for photographers delivering unedited event galleries safely.
Before Sending Proofs
Always watermark unedited proofs before sending them to a client. Even honest clients might accidentally screenshot an unfinished, unbranded photo to show a friend, which can end up on social media and misrepresent your final editing quality.
The Ideal Setup
For unedited galleries, we recommend a non-intrusive approach that protects the image without ruining the viewing experience:
- Upload your entire raw batch.
- Select a text watermark (e.g., “Unedited Proof - © Your Studio”).
- Set the position to Center and drop the Opacity to 30%.
- Download the processed zip and upload it directly to your client portal.
