Your brand. Their memories.
A photographer needs to know which images the client has actually chosen before starting the agreed editing work. A collection of casual favourites is not always a final instruction.
Use Galafolio's client selections to define that handover. Explain the number of images expected, how the client submits the set and what will happen after submission.
Tell the client what the selection is for: retouching, an album shortlist or another agreed delivery. Set a suitable selection limit and use stable filenames. If images may be replaced or renamed, complete that work before asking the client to choose so the selected references remain understandable.
A visitor may mark favourites while exploring. The professional workflow needs a submitted client selection that the team can review as a defined set. Explain the submission action and the review deadline in the handover message. If changes are needed after submission, use the studio's reopening workflow rather than accepting ambiguous additions through several channels.
Review the submitted set in the studio and retrieve its filenames through the available copy or CSV actions. These references can help locate matching files in your editing catalogue. Galafolio provides a manual filename handover, not a native Lightroom publishing or synchronisation plugin. Keep your own source naming consistent and check that every requested image maps to the correct original.

Participation & proofing
Create a clear photo-selection handover: purpose, stable references, selection limits, submission, reopening and matching chosen images to editing originals.
Read the articleTreat favourites as browsing aids unless your agreement says otherwise. The submitted selection gives the team a clearer set to review and process.
No native Lightroom synchronisation is provided. Use the copied filenames or CSV as references and verify them in your own editing workflow.
