New Online Proofing! A sneak preview!

Some may not know this but 5 years ago before Pictage, even… Lenny (see below) and I, created the first online proofing system for photographers. Our model had some issues, and more and more issues came up and finally we decided to tackle all of those issues and redesign our system. So we are VERY happy.

Without giving away too many details, let me hype this up a bit for you. Where most systems out there are all fancy shmancy, pick your own sloppy/jagged/trendy border and other worthless bells and whistles, we are taking a step back and proclaiming, “WAIT A SEC!!!” That’s too much junk! And it’s too expensive! We just want a really basic, but nice and easy to use and easy on the eyes online proofing system. We want photographers to be able to choose whether or not they use one of our labs or via their own fulfillment. But there’s one thing that we are doing that the other online proofing systems would NEVER do. I’ll tell you all about later upon our OFFICIAL release. Oh yeah and it’s also going to be one of the most affordable options for online proofing out there.

Stay tuned. If you are a photographer want to be notified when we launch our new system launches, hopefully this month, email me with your name, and please provide your web site address. I just want to know you’re LEGIT.

Check out this before and after:

PRO PHOTO ALLIANCE: Two shades of… PURPLE??? What the heck were we thinking? THAT IS UUUUUUGLY!
I chose the photo of the mother of the bride crying on purpose. She’s crying because we put all of her daughter’s wedding photos on this gaudy web site!

It did it’s job, but it definitely didn’t compliment the photos all too well.

THE NEW SYSTEM!!! (It’s not Pro Photo Alliance anymore, which is way too geeky officey) Stay tuned!
