From the client’s favourites to a new album

1. The collection: client name and email, how many photos, notes, when.
2. Its photos, with the client’s note under each one.
3. Copy names: the file names, one per line.
4. Copy files to a folder…: the full-resolution files, e.g. for prints.
5. → New album: the full-resolution files are copied into the album folder and the New album window opens with the name ready.

• Each collection has its own soft pastel colour. Select photos and click ✕ Out of the collection, or right-click them: ✕ Out of the collection, 🗑 Delete from the gallery… (with the Recycle Bin option), Photoshop, Folder. The 🗑 of the collection deletes the whole collection and hides while photos are selected.
• Each visitor sees only their own collections; you see them all. The mother and the godmother can each make their own list for their own album.
• + New collection for a client: pick photos together with the client at the studio. It is saved in the cloud like the client’s own.
• You get an email 15 minutes after the client’s last change, with what was added and removed.

The New album window

1. Where the photos come from: a folder, a list of file names (for clients who picked elsewhere), or a client collection.
2. Name, client, save folder.
3. Lab and size: your labs and their sizes, your own sizes, or a custom size (units, DPI, spread size, safe zones, trim, single first or last page).
4. Type / cover: a saved cover type, so the album opens with the cover already set up.

The second step chooses the layout library and the look: layouts across the spine, full-bleed pages, background colour, a border round each photo, the gap between photos. Everything changes later too.
