The Still Bureau difference
Feedback stays attached to the photograph.
Clients can favorite, comment, mark the exact area that needs attention, attach a reference, read your reply, and approve a locked selection.
- Point to the edit
- A marked area shows exactly where the feedback belongs.
- Keep the context
- References, replies, and resolution status stay with the image.
- Lock the decision
- Freeze the agreed selection instead of chasing another filename list.
- See one inbox
- Review every open proofing note for the gallery in one place.
