Each gallery contains the specific photo sets you choose to display, so you can share specific photos with each recipient.
Here are some examples of when this is useful:
For vendors
: If you're working with different vendors on a shoot, they don’t all need every photo. You can create a specific photo set for each vendor and add it to their gallery.For mini shoots
: Create a photo set and gallery for each client. Turn on the relevant photo set in their gallery so they only see their own images.For favorite proofing galleries
: Let clients select their favorite photos in a proofing gallery. Once they’ve made their selections, you can create a new gallery with the final images. Clients can always return to the proofing gallery to select more photos later.
