PhotoDeckHelp CenterGallery Presets
A key promise of PhotoDeck is that your website can be multipurpose. You can combine a portfolio, a client proofing area, ecommerce archives, and even a blog on the same website. Naturally, the presentation of the images and features vary depending on the purpose.
So when you create a new gallery, we present you with a few presets to speed up your workflow. Pick the preset closest to what you need, and if required, you can subsequently adjust the settings once the gallery is created. (You can change all settings at any time).
| Preset | Display style | Access settings |
|---|---|---|
| Public gallery or gallery protected by a parent gallery For standard, public galleries that balance functionality with aesthetics (e.g. archive or ecommerce galleries) | “Standard” display style. | The gallery is NOT hidden, no free download allowed. The gallery inherites from authorizations and protections potentially set on parent galleries. |
| Portfolio gallery Public gallery with Portfolio display style. Ideal for portfolio displays. | “Portfolio” display style. | The gallery is NOT hidden, no free download allowed. |
| Private gallery with general password Same as archive/ecommerce gallery, but with a general password. Ideal for private ecommerce galleries. | “Standard” display style. | General password required. No free download allowed. |
| Protected gallery for professional clients Perfect to send high-res images to a client | “Proofing” display style. | The gallery is hidden. You need to give individual clients access to the gallery via the gallery’s access settings or the Send by email panel. |
| Protected proof-retouch-deliver gallery Recommended when working with professional clients, and when the client must select images before their final versions can be prepared and delivered. | “Proofing” display style. | The gallery is hidden. The client can order high-res images for free but not download them until you set the files in FINAL state and deliver the order. You need to give individual clients access to the gallery via the gallery’s access settings or the Send by email panel. |
