How It Works |
|
i-Proofs is the simplest, fastest, most flexible way to distribute digital image proofs via the Internet.
|
|
Step 1: Upload Image Files |
|
Photographers upload Images directly from within i-Proofs. Alternately, they may use any FTP application or an FTP enabled web browser to upload
"unprocessed" Image files to the i-Proofs remote server. |
|
Step 2: Build Event Album |
|
Photographers define an Event then select which Images (from step 1) belong to it.
With the click of a button, i-Proofs "processes" (resizes if necessary) each Image and builds the Album automatically. |
|
Step 3: Notify Customer(s) |
|
Photographers enter the email address(es) of the intended recipient(s) either manually
or by uploading any text-based file. i-Proofs automatically generates all the emails
including a direct link to the newly created Album. Anyone who views the Album can,
in turn, initiate the same invitation email to others. |
|
Step 4: Users View Album(s) |
|
If an individual has received an email Album notification, they'll be able to access
the Album directly. Otherwise, they can locate the Album from the main Photos tab
in i-Proofs by searching any combination of the following: Photographer, Event Name,
and Event Date. |
|
Step 5: Users Order Images |
|
After accessing the Album, individuals can browse through the Images, preview them
in Black & White or Sepia Tone (if this feature has been enabled by the Photographer),
zoom in to view the full size Image, and add Images to their shopping cart. The
i-Proofs shopping cart is automatically saved for 30 days from the point of most
recent activity. If an individual wishes to utilize the "Favorites" feature of i-Proofs
or add Comments to an Image, all they need to do is register for a Free User Account.
After adding Images to their shopping cart, an individual must follow a simple standardized
checkout procedure to finalize their order. Upon order completion, the Photographer
is notified via email and must log in to the i-Proofs secure server to access order
transaction details. |
