How To Do Client Proofing in Lightroom

[@christaylor4179]

Ugh... I have to watch this video every time I need to do this weird, convoluted process! Thanks for it!

[@blackpointmedia]

It's so annoying, it's such a useful feature but they keep on changing it.

[@yuriperess4828]

They have changed the workflow, the Technology Previews menu is under your profile icon now. It makes Proofing icon available at the bottom, where you can turn on or off the proofing for the selected gallery.

[@michaelsabell9294]

Thank you! My friend you are a lifesaver.

[@KurtVinion]

Just stumbled across this tutorial and would like to say a big thank you! This was most helpful. All the best from Prague!

[@inka_palys]

OMG Terry! that's the cleares tutorial i've ever seen, you even show the process from the client point of view. Great stuff! thanx :)

[@kcool1128]

Terry I really appreciate your help with Adobe light room and photoshop. Love how you made it simple and easy to understand; even with the more advanced subjects. Keep up the awesome work.

[@aurelia1965]

HE IS THE BEST!!!!!

[@PowellStephen]

Thank you for your video. I had spent the last hour trying to find out why the collaborative proofing link was missing. I have viewed several videos and multiple pages and non of them mentioned Technology previews until I found your presentation. A huge thank you from me! Great video very helpful.

[@VapourtrailphotographyCoUk]

Cheers Terry, this is everything a tutorial should be.

[@HarilandeR]

I very rarely like a video and yours totaly worth a like and sub. Thank you very much!

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Thanks

[@TheKingmaji1]

I really appreciate you making this short film. I've been struggling to find how to accomplish this in lightroom. This is really going to help me with my future events. Keep up the good work and feeding us noobs information.

[@wingmanmedia360propertybus4]

Thanks for the video. I almost subscribed to a 3rd party paid service just to do proofing with a client. You have saved me time and some small fees I would pay for it.

[@wingmanmedia360propertybus4]

In fact came here again to recall how it is done with normal photos. I do 360 photos most of the time and I have a way to show them to clients without any risk for them to be taken without any payment. it is a shame I cannot give you multiple likes.

[@seoullista]

Thanks so much for the tutorial! Getting ready for my first client proofing! This helped me a lot!

[@photopiastudio4144]

Awesome. Why did I not know this already? Thank you so much for making my life easier.

[@vincentsimmons1794]

Thanks for the tutorial, however I can't seem to find Technology Preview on the web version of Lightroom. I do not get a dropdown menu if I click on the Lightroom logo in the top left corner. The only options on the bottom are Adaptive, Square, Display, and Sort

[@TerryLeeWhite]

They move it around from time to time. It's now in the upper right corner on the website under your account icon. "Technology Previews"

[@Jelisa.C]

Thank you both for this question and answer! Came to this video for this.

[@moreesecooper7084]

Mr. White thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for explained very well, thank you. This has made me get back into my hobby again.

[@therbertme]

Excellent content Terry, thankyou!

[@anthonycrothers_Photography]

Excellent broadcast Terry, extremely useful. Thanks a million for sharing.

[@StudioGalvan]

👍🏼 Re-Evaluating my needs and I see that this is going to be an awesome improvement/simplification of my workflow! 😃

[@scionjan]

Hi Terry great information. How do I sinc Lightroom Mobile with my MAC ? I only see the few pictures I have on the LR mobile and none on the MAC, which is where I upload most pictures. Thank you!

[@heidiplumhoff5610]

Hey Terry... I have been using the info from this video for a good while now, and it has been a life saver. I just have run into some trouble where it seems that the clients can't help themselves, and they screenshot the unedited images and sometimes even post them on social media before I have been able to edit and provide them with the finished work. I am actually quite stressed about it right now. I am wondering if you have any advice around watermarking the images and how to do so in this process, so that I can avoid this problem in the future.

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Right now there is no "easy" way to do it. You would have to export the images with watermarks as low res jpgs and then reimport those jpgs to share as client proofs.

[@heidiplumhoff5610]

Terry White Okay interesting. And I assume that would completely eliminate the ability to create an album of the ones they had chosen, and begin editing them from there. Okay, thank you so much for your reply, and especially thank you again for making this video in the first place!

[@ChiomaOkeke]

Thanks Terry. This was very informative. I decided to try it out. My client signed in, checked what they liked… but I don’t see anything on my end. I called the client, she says the images are still checked on her end. What can I do to enable me see what she chose?

[@ruthsorensen1783]

I'm having this issue as well!

[@skyfox4422]

Hi Terry, Thank you so much for showing how to do client proofing. What can I do If I want to up-sell the whole gallery to a client? How can I give them there images?

[@seniormomentsweddingfilms]

I use this, but at times the new album or when online I select start ratings, the info doesn't sync to Lightroom CC. Anyone have an idea what is causing the sync issue? I have the images online and in Lightroom CC, I've created a new album and title online but do not see it anywhere in LRCC.

[@andresmutis6760]

Terry, I have a quick question: when I have an album for proofing with a client, how can I make impossible for the customer to download the pictures?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Andrés Mutis you can’t.

[@simonkwakwa5239]

Terry please do another video I think lightroom web has changed

[@mrspike55]

Terry, I have been using this for a while, but something happened recently that is allowing the clients to select more than number specified. If I set it 8, and they select 14, it will show "14 of 8 photos selected" to them, and when I go to see their selections, I will see they have 14 selected. I have tested this now, after finding a recent client selected more than I set and I can easily recreate it. please get this fixed

[@sbattle4]

Two questions: Are you worried about the client taking screenshots? and if so, can you put a logo or name on the images to prevent that?

[@heidiplumhoff5610]

Ugh I just asked this question above before having seen yours. Have you found any solutions around this?

[@npinder2002]

Very helpful workflow, cheers

[@anthonycrothers_Photography]

Hi Terry, loving the collaborative proofing feature. As you mention we get a notification to our phone. (I-phone in my case) when open the notification it just opens LR on my phone and doesn't seem to give me any information regarding which photos the client liked/chose/commented on. So I've had to go back to the MAC and open LR there. Hope that makes sense! Keep up the good work, Best regards, Anthony

[@maryfowles807]

Can you tell us how to put a watermark on the images before we send the proof gallery?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Currently you’d have to export them as jpg with watermarks then reimport them to share as a proofing gallery.

[@maryfowles807]

@@TerryLeeWhite thanks! I've found your tutorials extremely helpful!! Appreciate it. :)

[@elimelart]

I do not have such and icon nowhere

[@TheAaron7600]

The proofing button nor the drop down menu for technology preview in the upper left corner are available can you please help?

[@yuriperess4828]

Technology Previews menu is under your profile icon now.

[@afrosweet]

Terry! Would you please post the link to the client proofing using LR Classic...PLEASE???

[@TerryLeeWhite]

afrosweet it’s on facebook.com/lightroom/videos/343534686564947/

[@afrosweet]

@@TerryLeeWhite Very grateful!

[@afrosweet]

@@TerryLeeWhite Terry. Is there a way for the client to share the proofing page to their family and friends so that they can help with the decision process?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

afrosweet they can pass along the link but the limit you set is for the album.

[@afrosweet]

Will this enable them to also select their favorites? If this works, I'll be able to switch from paying my annual fee to Pixieset. @@TerryLeeWhite

[@ayeoner]

Thank you!!! This was so helpful!

[@migionie]

Man, that Client-Proof feature would have been the best thing ever! But I can't see my clients using that since they have to put in "work". Adobe should have made that function available without an account...

[@larrykurfis4684]

You may want to change this since there are changes on the web interface.

[@CW_Photography]

I'm thinking about getting a Surface Pro-6 tablet to learn more design and editing. Can You recommend a good people friendly learning tablet for me. I prefer an Apple product which I normally use. Your feedback please!

[@LGS_Inc]

That was a lifesaver

[@carlosdias1940]

Hi Terry, just love the way you teach. Comes natural! This is a similar process that I can do with a 'Client Gallery' and clearly would be one more reason to merge my tasks within the Adobe cloud. Question: Is there a chance to serve various clients e.g. after an event? It could be a large event, such as a wedding or a tournament. Just because, I'm not foreseeing a way. Thank you for all of your information. A wealth of knowledge. Cheers (Note: reached LR Facebook, thanks to this video. I was not aware.)

[@DJBaBoresds]

Terry, you forgot to tell us your password. Nice video. Thanks for sharing

[@thespartanchannel]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@natalielines1599]

This is amazing! I just wish there was a way to add a watermark :(

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Me too. If you must have one you could export low res jpgs with watermarks and then import them back in to use for client proofing.

[@chaneykansas]

I don’t have this option any more 🙃

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Kansas Chaney it moved but it’s still there.

[@chaneykansas]

Terry White where is it?

[@gabrielhardy5817]

Let’s connect next time you are in Hilton Head. I’m 30 mins from there.

I use to love doing it this way until Adobe started generating passwords every time they sign in since its from a different computer. I ready wish Adobe would fix this, its such a useful tool going to waste.
