Photo Gallery — Selecting Your Photos

The Photo Gallery is where you make all your selections. It has a dark background to help the photos stand out.

5.1 Understanding the Toolbar

  • Album name — which album you're viewing
  • Selection count — e.g. "12 / 84 selected" so you always know where you stand
  • Filter toggle — switch between "All photos" and "Selected only" view
  • Confirm Selection button (lock icon) — use this when you're done choosing
  • Lamp Cube button (lamp icon) — to order a 3D Lamp Cube (see Section 6)

5.2 Selecting Photos

To select a photo from the grid:

  1. 1Click the checkbox or heart icon on a photo card. The card will turn purple/highlighted to show it's selected.
  2. 2Click it again to deselect.

To select a photo from the lightbox (fullscreen view):

  1. 1Click anywhere on the photo (not the checkbox) to open the lightbox.
  2. 2In the lightbox, click the Select button or press Space to toggle the selection.
  3. 3Use the arrow buttons on screen (or your keyboard arrow keys) to navigate between photos.
  4. 4Press Escape or click outside the photo to close the lightbox.

5.3 Ordering Print Copies

Each photo can be ordered as a physical print in two sizes:

SizePrice per copy
10×15 cm€0.40
13×18 cm€0.60

To add prints:

  1. 1On any photo card, find the +/− counters for each size.
  2. 2Click + to add a copy, to remove one.
  3. 3The first time you add a print, a confirmation dialog will appear explaining the pricing — click Confirm to proceed. This dialog only appears once.
  4. 4You can also adjust print counts from the bottom panel of the lightbox view.

5.4 Ordering Photo Canvases

A canvas print means your photo is printed and stretched onto a wooden frame — like a painting you hang on a wall. You can order the same photo in up to four sizes:

SizePrice
30×45 cm€20
60×40 cm€27
90×60 cm€44
120×80 cm€75

To order a canvas:

  1. 1On a photo card, find the canvas size buttons (labeled with the dimensions).
  2. 2Click a size — a confirmation dialog will appear showing the price for that size.
  3. 3Click Confirm to add it to your order. The size button will turn purple to show it's active.
  4. 4Click the same size again (and confirm) to remove it.
You can mix and match — for example, order the same photo in two different canvas sizes.

5.5 Album Options

In the sidebar panel you'll find several optional checkboxes:

  • Share on social networks — give the photographer permission to post your photos on social media
  • All Raw Photos on USB — receive all photos from this session on a USB drive (+€100)
  • Payment to Account — you'd like to pay by bank transfer instead of in person
  • Postal Delivery — have your prints or canvas delivered by mail (+€5 delivery fee)

5.6 Price Summary

The sidebar shows a live price breakdown that updates as you make selections:

  • Base package price (set by your photographer)
  • Extra photos above the package limit
  • Print copies total
  • Canvas prints total
  • Post/delivery fee (if selected)
  • USB fee (if selected)
The final total is shown in purple at the bottom. There's nothing to pay here — this is just for your reference before confirming.

5.7 Locking Your Selection (Confirm Selection)

When you're happy with everything:

  1. 1Click the Confirm Selection button (lock icon) in the toolbar.
  2. 2A summary dialog will appear showing the complete price breakdown.
  3. 3Review it carefully, then click Confirm.
