jfsung — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:24:50 GMT

Does anyone know this problem? All my gallery path in zenfolio becomes http://domain/pundefined.

Would site manager may check for me ok? My URL is photos.blogfisher.net

Thanks a lot!!

Video uploadable ?

studiogeo — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:34:16 GMT

First congratulations for your service.

Zenfolio is by far AFAIK the most professionnal website for professionnal photographers.

My customers ask me more and more for videos.

Do you plan to allow the possibility to upload videos in the galleries ?

If yes, which format would be used ?

Thanks again.

Regards

François

Anyone else busy with senior portraits?

Show 'em off!

Pick the favorite of someone else...

Shoreside — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:10:42 GMT

Here's a little twist on pick your favorite.

You have to pick the favorite photo of the previous poster. (Since mine is the first... I choose Kevin)

So...

Here is my favorite photo in Kevin's gallery:

Now... someone else has to pick one of mine... and so on. (It's quite interesting to see which ones other people choose)

PACKAGE PRICING PLEASE!

hoosierphotography — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 14:20:24 GMT

It would be very, very helpful to have package pricing be available. My customers really want to be able to order packages and it is a pain to have them order packages from me and individual prints from my website. Please, consider package pricing options soon!

Aperture Plugin Login Error

MikeyRocker — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:00:12 GMT

Has anyone else experienced a Login error when using the ApertureToZenfolio 0.16 Plugin? I used the plugin recently with no errors and suddenly I now get a login error on both of my Mac's. I have the latest version of Aperture 2.1 installed on both a MacBook and an intel iMac 20".

Gallery Wrap Design

MomentsCapturedbyKellyRenee — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:48:59 GMT

I have had great success with Zenfolio! Right now I have a client who is purchasing quite a few different products, two of which are gallery wraps.

The size for the wrap will be 8x10. I seem to be at a creative loss as to how to solve a problem and am hoping you all can help me. The images she has selected for the wrap are tight headshots. Wanting most of the image in the main portion of the wrap (not just the faces), I cannot find a way to do this as when I attempt to manually crop, there is a tremendous amount of blank space. I'm about to pull my hair out!

She is placing a large print order of several hundred dollars and I need to get this nailed down quickly so any and all advise is more than appreciated!

Thank you in advance! If you need to see the image, http://www.momentscapturedbykellyrenee.com/img/v1/p813257504-2.jpg

White space appears for certain image sizes

ajith — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:41:53 GMT

I am experiencing issues in the shopping cart in the framing of pictures. At first I selected 8x10 print, I saw white space above and below the picture while in the shopping cart and also when trying to select framing options. When I selected 16x24 size for the same file there were no white spaces. Now I tried different sizes and found that the white spaces tend to appear for certain image sizes. I was under the impression that the image would be resized to fit into the selected size but looks like that not the case here. Is there a way to work around this problem. Can somebody please explain.

Macro should be added as a category.

New Photo Project : "Hallowed Be Thy Name"

timestop — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:12:49 GMT

A big hello to the entire ZF community !

It is said that understanding light as a whole is key to understanding what photography is all about.

So I thought "What better place to exercise my understanding of light than in various places of worship around town ?"

In each community, we all have places of actual light, and enlightenment (of the spiritual kind) so why not photograph some of them thanks to the Doors Open Waterloo Region initiative ?

And so, here's my latest photo project uniquely involved 11 places of worship around my region (Kitchener/Waterloo - Ontario, Canada) which I called:

"Hallowed Be Thy Name"

I welcome you all to have a visit at my gallery and witness the light in different wonderful settings.

Why is it a ZF success story ? I've already received offers to buy my photos from parishioners, local heritage societies, and dioceses. ZF is the key to the distribution of these photos via print or electronically.

Thanks ZF !

How to get Full paid account

MrDennis — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:13:15 GMT

Hi All

I am on Trial with Zenfolio at moment. I am in the UK.

I tried earlier to get a paid for account, alas, it has only American Express, Mastercard, Visa & Discover. I can't join as it don't have a Maestro card in there. I don't use Credit cards.

Any ideas as to how I can join?? I just worked hard in uploading photos to discover how it all works and i'ts a pity if Zenfolio do not cater for Debit cards here in UK.

Sorry If this is in wrong forum

Watermarks on Thumbnails

ZenShooter — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:49:18 GMT

I've noticed a decline in sales of downloads since moving to ZenFolio and after doing a bit of research and detective work I've found out why. It turns out that the thumbnails are quite good enough for most people's Facebook use and they are just screen scraping the thumbnails -- which don't have any watermarks on them -- and posting those on Facebook.

So...

This is an urgent request to add watermarks to thumbnails. Without such, ZenFolio is just giving our products away for free.

Packages

dobick — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:28:01 GMT

I do know that this has been asked for in many other threads, but most of them were in 2008 and the response seemed to be fairly consistent that this would be addressed some time in 2009. We are now heading into the back half of 2009 and I would like to know what kind of progress has been made and if there is possibly any tighter timeline on the horizon.

For the record, here is what I would like at a minimum for package selling:

at a minimum a single image on multiple predefined outputs. (for example: I shoot a headshot, and the client can choose package "a" which is 8x10, 4x6, and a page of wallets)

I do not care if you offer me any discounts on the base pricing, but I should be able to assign a price to this package based on formula.

All I am looking for is the ability to group together a group of products with a single button click on the ordering side.

Please help

Sincerely,

Kent

Another request to make buying photos more prominent / easier

ZenShooter — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:57:46 GMT

I lost a sale over the weekend to another photographer because the customer couldn't figure out how buy a print on Zenfolio. She found the photo she wanted but she never "hovered" her mouse over the photo to get the icon bar to slide out from the left. She also never saw the "Add to Cart" way up in the upper right of the corner.

There really really needs to be a very prominent and ALWAYS VISIBLE "Buy This Photo" button or control right next to the photo, so that our customers don't need to hunt for how to buy products.

ZenFolio is a site/service for selling photos. The selection, buying, and checkout process should be obvious and it should be fluid. Anything less is like trying to run a Brick & Mortar store with the checkout lane hidden in the back. People eventually get tired of trying and go elsewhere.

Photo displayed size

Derek Kemp — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:04:10 GMT

Maybe I missed something somewhere. I'm a little confused as to why images I have in certain galleries are displayed smaller than other photos that measure smaller by pixel dimension. All my image access controls are set to "very large" (for consistency at this point).

For example, I have an image that looks quite large on the screen, it is displayed 1042 x 779 pixels and is landscape-mode. The next image is in portrait-mode, measures 920 x 690 but is displayed considerably smaller, the height being displayed shorter, at 920 than the first one at 779. And so it goes with several of my pictures.

All of this is in relation to the individual photo screen mode. Same layout for all in question.

Does the horizontal measurement have priority over the vertical dimension?

I'm new to Zenfolio so quite sure I've missed something here.

Thanks for helping, Derek.

Can additional discounts be applied?

Kevin Pepin — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:31:18 GMT

I am a member of NAPP. Some of the benefits include discounts from a bunch of places. Is it possible to apply my NAPP discount codes to orders from mpix and fotoflots? Mpix has different discount codes that change from month to month and right now, there is a 10% of code for fotoflots until November 30th. Can I use them throuh zenfolio?

Minimum Order Requirement

carterphoto — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:53:14 GMT

For my portrait sessions, I require a minimum order in dollars, but cannot enforce that here. So I end up using zenfolio as only a proofing tool. Could something be added so an order won't be allowed unless the client meets our designated order minimum?

Small Slide Show on the Front Page.

skysi — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:57:55 GMT

I wonder if we could have a section of the interface of the front page dedicated to displaying a small slide show uploaded by the user. This could be a part of Bio/Info section and feature slides of recent photos or whatever else we choose to be there.

Name on Photos

CWightmanphotography — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:02:52 GMT

This is more of a curious question as to who does what and what clients like.

All this time I have put "Crystal Wightman Photography" in the corner of all my photos. So when the photo is printed, so is my name. Zen offers printing of name on the back of the photos.

So I am wondering, should I not have my name on the photo, just include it on the back? Or should I keep it on the photo?

What do you do? What do your clients prefer?

I shoot a little bit of everything.. landscape, animals, and potraits etc.. So would it be ok to have my name on a print that will be framed in someone's house/office. Or do customer's find the name on a framed print annoying.

Part of me, wants my name on the print, then whoever looks at the photo, knows who took it. The other part of me feels, maybe a customer won't buy the print knowing the photographer's name is there.

Comments

CaptainKidd — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:32:30 GMT

I have set "comments" for a gallery as private (only I should see them), yet they are still publicly visible. Why? Need this to work so I can get feedback from clients, without others seeing what that feedback is.

Thanks.

Photo for private galleries

jlphotos — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:53:17 GMT

Is it possible to have one image within a private gallery show on the gallery folder with the 4 stars, or better yet, a modified image that I make that says click here, instead of the blank with the 4 stars?

Allow Client Favorites/Picks to be viewable / printable with thumbnails/filenames.

ChrisJoyce — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:17:37 GMT

Since I am about to renew, I will again make this request. I want to be able to see what clients have logged in and saved favorites. This way I can fulfill them. This is a service Miller's Labs offers and I need it here.

This request is over a year old.
