What is the Viewing module? Present your photos live to your clients

The Viewing module is a full-screen interface, independent from the rest of Fotostudio, designed to be used with your client right in front of you (at the studio, on a projector, or via video call). It lets you present your photos, sort through them with your client, place products in context, and sell (digital files, prints, albums, collections) without switching tools: everything stays linked to Fotostudio, all the way to the final quote and the signed order form.

Viewing session vs gallery

An online gallery lets the client choose on their own, at their own pace. A viewing session flips the logic: you present a selection you've already worked on, and you guide the choice live.

Photographers who use this format give three main reasons:

• A higher average basket: presenting products (prints, albums, collections) at the moment of decision makes upselling easier, rather than offering it afterward by email.
• Real client support: you witness their reactions live and help them decide, rather than receiving a fixed selection without context.
• Less dependence on an open gallery: photos are only shown in your presence, which reduces (without eliminating) the risk of unauthorized file retrieval.

100% linked to Fotostudio, and usable offline

Your photos are never uploaded: they're read directly from your computer throughout the session, which lets you work even without a stable connection.
Everything you do (rating, basket, composed collections) saves automatically in the background.
At the end of the session, the generated quote is a real Fotostudio quote, linked to the relevant contact and session, in your colors, viewable in the client area just like any of your quotes.
Your client can then sign the order form, on paper or from their phone. When signed on a phone, the order form also accepts the quote.

Working with the Viewing module

• Enable and configure the Viewing module: activation, default settings, framed products, collections for sale, order form notes
• Start a viewing session and sort with your client: photo import (in batches, sorted into your lists), slideshow, rating, comparison
• Sell during the viewing session: actual-size products, room view, collections, cart and quote, order form to have signed
