    Email list of picked images

    When I work with clients on making their wedding album, big part of the process is for them to go through the images in their gallery and pick those they want to be included in the album.  Currently the process is very lame.  They have to copy/paste the image numbers into a text file which they later email me.

    It would be a huge help if there was a way for my clients to just click some kind of a checkbox to select the image for the list of their favorites.  This list would then be emailed to me.

    We have major improvements coming in this area. In the meantime have you tried using Collections? Your customers can create a free Visitors account, create a cllection and send you the link. You will then have the collection as a reference. Here are instructions you can provide your clients with:

    Creating a Visitor's Collection:

    1.    Navigate until you are looking at a photo page with the photograph you would like to add to new collection.
    2.    Move your mouse over the image, a new menu will appear on the left side
    3.    Select Add to Collection from the menu. A pop-up window will appear titled About Collections.
    4.    Click Continue. You will be directed to a Registration/Login page.
    5.    Under Registration select Continue
    6.    Enter a user name, your e-mail address and a password. This information is necessary to create orders and will not be used in any other way.
    7.    Click Continue. Once you have created your visitor account you can return to adding photos to your collection.
    8.    Select Return to Photos and you will be directed back to the gallery
    9.    Follow steps 1-3 until you have added all of the photos you would like.
    10.    A confirmation message will appear each time you add a photo letting you know the operation succeeded. You can now click View in the confirmation meassage to view the collection.
    11.    To send the collection to someone simply click Send Link at the top, right of the page. You can either cut and paste the link or select Open in Email use your default mail program.

    Thanks for the response Laura. I have tried doing it this way and unfortunately it does not really work.  The selection they make is not a list of image names or numbers that I can further work.  And it makes it very difficult to weed out 140+ image numbers from their selection.  I really need just the image names or numbers.

    Completely agree, Red.  I made the same request myself some time ago here:
