Questions about switching
Can I shoot tethered into Foto?
No. Foto has no tethered capture. Upload the shoot when it is done, from the desk or from the phone's photos, and Bulk Auto gives the set a first edit in one tap.
Do my sessions, catalogs and styles come over?
No. Foto has no import for another editor's sessions, catalogs or adjustments. Upload your originals, group them in Hubs, and save the looks you use as your own in Looks.
How does a client review the shoot?
Send the photos to a Gallery and share it for Proofing. The client opens the link in a browser with no account, picks up to the limit you set, leaves notes and answers each round, and Foto's Library shows their Client Picks.
