Hi Spencer,

Will work on MACS or any operating system. This will be different module to the on-line version of ULTIMATE Deluxe, we are looking at the price now, but we are confident that it will be far cheaper than other event photography systems currently available, as well as easier and faster for both the photographer and client.

Hi,

You can add a free flowing text comment to each of the pictures in Jalbums as they arrive, it will not pop up automatically you either have to select each picture as it arrives or go next/previous, dont think you can add a form thought. There are settings in Jalbums to attach the comments to the original file but not sure where it is saved within the file data. Will need to investigate more.

What are you looking to do?

Mark

Sure, know the season is starting soon. And will off course endavour to get it ready for us all before then.

We should be ok though, but I know what I want, but wanted to make sure it fits in with all you guys as well.

Mark

Not really my place to comment on other companies products. When its launched you will be able to make an informed desicion which is best for you.

Used the software from parker franklin, proofstation i think it is called, crapstation is more like it. Complete waste of time, deleted it shorty after I installed it.

Hi Tom,

We will look in to it and let you know.

I currently use a similar system based on Jalbums, wireless Nikon, a generic skins, 3 laptops, and the Mitsubishi Click Pro. I have three problems/wants.
1. The current skins are okay but not perfect, there not that intuitive for the client, and need a bit of guidance.
2. The client writes down on a piece of paper which image they want and gives it to the assistant.
3. When it comes to print from click pro, we have to search through all the images for the right file name, and what is even more annoying, the client starts to change there mind on what picture they want.

On the good side is Jalbums never really goes wrong, and we just let it do it stuff in the background.

On the whole I am happy with my workflow, it is just these annoying little things.

Will be intrested to see your release, and your price....

HI Tony,

We have looked at this option of a viewing folder before, or the abilty to save a basket, and it is a big job. The main problem was that it had to be cross brower compatible for our online version, maybe (and thats a big maybe) we could devolp it for just one brower when used on-site, i'll check, but you would only be able to use firefox as your browser on your viewing stations, as IE and safari deleted cookies by deafult, but i dont think that would be a great isuue for you, would it?.

I cant see us putting a searching mechaism on the camera data, but i'll investigate

Thanks

Mark

Hi,

We are looking to launch prior to the summer season for event photography. I will refrain at this time on listing a price, as it very much depends as always on the development cost. But as the basis of the event viewing software is based on ULTIMATE, we are sure that is going to be a minimal cost to us, and so will the price to you.

It is very easy to use, you have a few setting in Jalbums as above, and to change the pricing matrix in Ultimate is very simple. As the basis of this is based on Jalbums and ULTIMATE which has been stable and bug free for a long time, it is very stable software. I would recommend as above that the laptop that is doing the processing has some power for bigger jobs.

It is very easy for the clients as it is just a very simple web interface, Even pc novices find it easy, what I have found works best for me is after I have taken their pictures and I thank them, I direct them to a viewing station and just say "Click on "NEW PICTURES", and you will see your pictures"

I also change the jpeg image for the logo, and the gallery welcome message and offer deals for on-site printing, "Buy NOW and save £10 a print"

I run all the viewing stations in F11 mode, full screen. And all transactions can be done with a mouse and a click, so you do not need keyboards. If you leave your viewing stations unattneded (lap tops or screen sharing) then I would suggest you run your system in kiosk mode. Regardless I have never had a problem with people trying fool around.

Thats a diificult one to answer, there are so many factors. My lowest has been £zero, (not many of thoose thankfull) my higest is £9000 for a 5 day job. So any where in between.

I was speaking to an event photgrapher yesterday who done an assisgnment for a charity ball with guests posing with a celeberity, he took £5000 in two hours when printing on-site. 50% went back to the charity, but £2500 for 2 hours is a good return.

Mark

No RAW, Even if the system could process them it would take to long on such a large file size. What you can do though is save raw and jpeg, so it will process the jpeg in the normal way and you could if you wanted then access the raw later for print.

This would off course slow down the speed of the file transmisson, but you could if you wanted then choose a low jpeg file size, and that would be proccessed quicker by jalbums/ultimate

Are you thinking of this in more of a studio enviroment?

Mark

Hi, It is not intended to replace Qimage or any of your preferred printing software, PS, Qimage, picasa, This is viewing and ordering system. You can still use Qimage (as i do often) to do all your printing. One thing that has been suggested is that all the ordered images are put in a folder that Qimage looks at, similar to Mitsi Click pro system, and we are investigating that.

Hi,

I cant see why not, it is just a case of networking a windows based PC's with Macs. Which I know you can do, although I have never done it my self. I'll investigate further
