Prices & functions

Depending on which Gallery you have decided on, you can administer up to to 100,000 pictures simultaneously. The only important thing here is how many pictures have been uploaded at the same time. How many pictures you upload is up to you. Many customers select our PROFI Gallery which offers the complete range of functions and can take up to 5,000 images.

Regardless of which Gallery you have chosen, you can create any number of customers and albums. Albums serve to organize a Customer Gallery better. So for instance, you can separate a commission for a wedding into "Portraits", "Reportage Photos" and "Registry Office".

In the Picture Gallery you can all save all the picture formats you offer. Besides individual prices, the formats can also have block prices (e.g.: 10 items and above). Furthermore, with the Picture Gallery it is of course possible to create various price lines, e.g.: for portrait & reportage.

All the Picture Galleries are set up by us without charge.

The new 3-D evaluations show you at a glance how successful the Picture Gallery is.

You can see the turnover for the last 12 months and for example the most ordered picture format.

If you wish, your customer can order his pictures directly through the Picture Gallery. Do to this, he has a real shopping basket available, similar to that in an online shop.

Of course, portraitbox.com™ has no obligation to any one photo processing lab. You simply process the orders you receive with the laboratory of your choice.

We place great value on the fact that your work is copyright protected. This is the reason why each customer must log in to your Gallery with his personal password. This protects your work from unauthorised access and guarantees the customer that no third person has access to the photo material.

Additional protection is provided by the low picture resolution. As the pictures are only intended for display in the Picture Gallery and are not sent to a laboratory, a maximum resolution of 500 pixels in height or width is sufficient.

The most effective protection against misuse is had by using an individual watermark. Here, you decide yourself how your watermark should look and whether it is displayed strongly or faintly. It is not possible to remove the watermark later without a massive loss of quality.

Now your customer can sit back and relax. In the slide show, the photos are shown automatically one after another at a speed the viewer can set. This way the client has the opportunity to get an overview of his photos in the shortest possible time.

We also offer a Flash slide show with cross-fade effects.

Each photo studio has its own colours and its own personal corporate design. We have created a total of 2 neutral colour themes from which you can choose.

   

Of course you can also save your personal company logo in your Picture Gallery. So your Gallery is furnished with yet another personal note and your customer automatically feels at home.

By using personalised pre-defined texts you can, for instance, create an individual Home Page for your customers or set up your Terms and Conditions and an Imprint page.

If you have your customer's e-mail address, with just one click you can generate an automatic e-mail which sends your customer the access data for the Picture Gallery. After that your client only needs to click on a link in the e-mail and can immediately select his pictures.

By integrating Google Maps you can easily show your customers on a map where your photo studio is located.
