Envira Gallery Proofing Addon

Description

The Proofing addon turns Envira Gallery galleries into photo approval workflows, allowing clients to mark favorites, leave comments on each image, and send their final selection directly to the photographer through the browser. Designed for professional photographers who deliver previews to corporate clients, couples, and models, the component replaces email exchanges and spreadsheets with a visual interface integrated into the existing WordPress gallery.

Key Features

• Click-to-favorite marking
  Adds a visual selector over each gallery image so the client can choose approved photos.
• Comments for each image
  Allows the client to add specific notes to each selected photo without exchanging external messages.
• Client identification form
  Collects name, email, and contact details before approval, linking the selection to an identified sender.
• Automatic photographer notification
  Sends the complete selection report by email as soon as the client completes approval.
• Native integration with any Envira gallery
  Enables approval mode in existing galleries without reconfiguring media or layout.

Benefits of the Proofing Addon

• Professional approval workflow
  Replaces file exchanges through Dropbox and spreadsheets with a centralized process within the site.
• Less post-production rework
  The photographer receives exactly which images need to be edited, avoiding unnecessary deliveries.
• Experience aligned with the studio brand
  The client approves photos without leaving the photographer’s site, maintaining its own visual identity and domain.
• Organized project history
  Each selection is recorded in WordPress, making later reference and session archiving easier.

Who Is It For?

• Wedding and event photographers who deliver previews for clients to select final edits.
• Commercial, fashion, and advertising photography studios that work with image approval alongside agencies and brands.
• Family, maternity, and newborn session photographers who need to organize photo selections with their clients.

For studios that handle hundreds of images per session, the Proofing module centralizes client approval within the WordPress site itself, without relying on Dropbox, Google Drive, or separate spreadsheets. The result is an organized history of each project, with selected files, client comments, and approval dates accessible through the Envira Gallery dashboard.
