Background extraction. \u2013 We allow the extraction of either low or high-resolution images. If you only cut out the low-resolution images, then you can do replacements only on the images that need a different background. Our system also allows for up-charging on different backgrounds.

Background removal \u2013 We can automatically remove the backgrounds of high or low-resolution images during the upload for use in the cart. These backgrounds do not have to be a single color like green or blue. They can even be standard \u201cPicture Day\u201d type backgrounds.<\/span><\/li>\n

Team photo selection or viewing with the * as a wildcard \u2013 Why? This feature allows all team members to see the same team photo without having to upload it for each team member. This team photo can then be placed on any product by any team member.<\/span><\/li>\n
                                                                                                                                                                                                    7. Keyword search: Folder name, File name, Master Keyword \u2013 This feature allows the final customer to enter a unique identifier and see just their images from within a single event. It can be generated into our system by using the file or folder name, or from just the front portion of the file or folder name. They can also be added or modified later.<\/span><\/li>\n
                                                                                                                                                                                                    8. Forced Keyword Search \u2013 Our \u201cForce Keyword Search\u201d feature functions as a password so that school subjects can only see their images in a collection or event. You can also add a MASTER keyword so that a principal or leader can see all of the images.<\/span><\/li>\n
                                                                                                                                                                                                    9. Auto Expire Events \u2013 Helps manage the events and lets your customers know the date they have to order by. This puts a sense of urgency on the ordering process.<\/span><\/li>\n

Pay To Enter Events \u2013 Why: This function allows you to charge customers upfront to enter the event and view the images. This works great for sports events that are done on speculation. It also allows you to give the customer a credit for the upfront money to use during checkout. Example: You could charge 10.00 to view the images and then give any amount of credit you wish back for use at checkout. Even more than the 10.00 if you wish.<\/span><\/li>\n

Coming Soon Events \u2013 Why: This is a very important feature and we recommend to use all the time. This allows you to post the event before you photograph it. Then when visiting the cart, your client will get a message like \u201cThank you for coming to West High Football Photos. The photos are not ready yet but should be available soon. Please enter your email here, and we will let you know when they are posted\u201d. Then when the images are uploaded and the event type is changed to active, the system will send an email to everyone that signed up for the notification.<\/span><\/li>\n

Event Image Thumbnail \u2013 The thumbnails used to show the customer images, can be shown in 4 different sizes, small, medium, large, or extra-large. They can also be shown as a cropped image, an image that will be fit to show the entire image inside of a square area, or collage organization.<\/span><\/li>\n

Event Groups \u2013 By creating an event group, you can add price sheets, shipping sheets, etc, and have them apply to all of the collections\/events under this group. The common samples would be for weddings or schools or portrait shoots, where all of the underlying collections are similar. There is a way to have different price sheets etc under these groups if you need, but that is less common.<\/span><\/li>\n

Password Protection \u2013 Why: You can password protect some events and not others. It is your choice. You can even have multi-tier passwords \u2013 one for the school and one for the student for example.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Proof and Sell Albums Online \u2013 This is a very powerful tool if you sell Albums or Flipbooks online. Your customer can view the entire book and if you allow them to, they can ask for changes with a secure password via our note area that tracks what page they are looking at when they put in their notes. Or you can use it just for viewing and selling.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
