Questions about switching
Do my Pixieset galleries come over?
No. Foto has no import for another service's galleries or favorites. Upload the originals, use Send To and Gallery, and share the Gallery's link with your client.
Does my client need an account?
No. The Gallery's link is how the client gets in, with a password if you set one. They pick, leave notes and answer each round in the browser.
Can clients order prints from a Gallery?
No. Foto has no print store or print lab. A Gallery is for choosing and delivering the photos.
How do the client's picks reach my editing?
Foto's Library shows the Client Picks, and Adjust shows the client's note on the photo, so you edit the picks and then deliver the Gallery.
