How Client Access Works

PicProofs provides different Access to your users and clients for different kinds of jobs.

You can choose Standard, Client or Standard + Client, depending on how you want visitors to view your job and download images. The job editing area in PicProofs:

Choose Access For Your Job

Standard Access (default) allows all viewers to view your job with a unique Access Code you create. They will also enter their email address on the login page, which saves their selected favorites into a personal collection.

Your visitors can view your images, mark favorites and send you a listing of their favorites along with optional comments and instructions. You can select "View Only" or "Download" access in your job settings. Downloaded images will be sized to a maximum 1800 pixels long dimension.

Use this default option for most jobs.

Client Access uses an Access Code and Client Password to view your job. After entering the access code and email address on the login screen, our system checks to see if you have set up specific client access - if the client email addess is entered, an additional password entry box will appear to complete their client access login.

Client Access allows downloads of large original files for a specific client.

Standard + Client Access allows separate Standard and Client access for the same job.

For example, a wedding photographer might choose to use Client Access that allows only the wedding couple to download large images.

But for the wedding visitors, the photographer could also add Standard Access with view-only permissions or downloadable image permissions sized for screen-sized (1800-pixel long dimension) downloads.
