Viewing Your Proofs
Welcome to viewing your proofs! This is one of the most exciting pieces of my journey with customers. I have found over the years that customers will often choose photos they might pass over.
Since I do a lot of pro bono work, one way I optimize time is to have clients choose photographs before I do extensive retouching on photos they won’t use. Sharing the postprocessing workflow in this way helps us work together more quickly. You get to choose the photos you love, and I save time by optimizing only the photos you truly love.
However, I do ask that you don’t share any of the proofs publicly as they are not a true representation of my complete work. Once photos have been retouched, please work with me on how to use and represent my work.
1. Click the link to your gallery. It will look something like: https://adobe.ly/LeTtersAndNumbers.
2. Browse the photos and select the ones you like. The photos you see are not the finished product; they are the raw materials.  I can change the photo radically during post-processing.  Things I can change:
* Exposure
* Color 
* Shadows and Highlights
* Cropping, and more.
I cannot change things like blur, focus issues, adding something that was not there.
When you find a photo that you like, click on the photo to show the details and note the (i) icon on the right hand side of the screen.  Click it.
3. Note the file name on the detail screen. The file name will be in the format Event_Name_Number.CR3 or Event_Name_Number.DNG. That number will be the way that we work together on your selected photos.
NOTE: You will also see <13 of 15> in the screenshot above.  Do NOT use those numbers as they change as we remove photographs from the collection.  The file names will remain the same.
One you have your set of file names, just send those my way.
