Proofing questions

Make the request unambiguous.

What should photo proofing instructions include?

Name the decision, explain what a favorite means, state any selection limit and deadline, say whether image-level notes are requested, and keep downloads separate from the review unless they are intentionally enabled.

Does this tool send anything to my client?

No. It builds the draft in your browser and can copy it to your clipboard. It creates no account, sends no message, and stores no client details.

Is a favorite the same as formal approval?

No. A favorite can record a selection for a defined review round. Keep contractual approval, agreement acceptance, payment, and other commitments in the documented process your studio uses.
