Who it is for
Wedding, portrait, commercial and event photographers who use Joomla and want a fully self-hosted proofing workflow. Also useful for design studios, real-estate agencies, and anyone who needs a client to pick assets from a private gallery.

Client selection

• Heart-tap selection: clients pick favourites by tapping a heart on each photo. No login, no app, no list of file numbers.
• Minimum and maximum limits: set selection limits globally or per gallery, with custom warning messages using {min} and {max} placeholders, positioned above the photos, below them, or in the sticky selection bar.
• Selection preview step: optionally show clients their picks before they submit.
• Come back later: a cookie remembers the client's favourites, so they can return the next day and finish; it is cleared automatically after they submit.
• Previous orders: optionally show earlier orders, useful when several family members pick from the same shoot.
• Configurable confirmation form: name, email, phone and message can each be required, optional or hidden, followed by a custom thank-you page with an optional auto-redirect.

Photographer workflow

• Drag-and-drop batch upload: each photo is resized to your maximum width (default 1920 px), recompressed to your JPEG quality (default 85%), watermarked and saved. JPG, PNG and WebP are validated on actual file content, not just the extension.
• Watermarks on upload: text watermarks with custom font, size, colour, position and opacity, or an image watermark scaled automatically; nine positions from corner to centre.
• Adobe Lightroom Classic plugin: a native export provider for Lightroom Classic 6.0+ (Windows and macOS). Export rendered photos straight into a gallery, or create a new gallery, with title, description, password and selection limits, from inside the Export dialog. Watermarks and resizing are applied server-side. Lightroom CC and Lightroom Mobile are not supported.
• Automatic emails: when a client submits, two confirmation emails go out: a summary for the client and the same summary plus contact details for you. Separate, fully editable templates with placeholders for client data, gallery title, photo count and a clickable list of selected photos, plus BCC support and reply-to handling.
• HTTP API: authenticated endpoints (X-API-Key) for listing galleries, creating galleries and uploading photos. Used internally by the Lightroom plugin and documented for your own integrations.
• Tidy administration: thumbnails in the backend photo list, and an optional setting that removes the media files and folder when a gallery is deleted.

Privacy and access
Password-protected galleries: every gallery has its own password and galleries are unlisted by design; there is no public index unless you create one.
Self-hosted: photos stay on your hosting, and the client data (name, email, phone, message, selected photos) is stored in your own Joomla database. No third-party processor is involved.
SEF-friendly URLs: gallery links are based on the gallery alias.
