What's New

Fixes:

• A few fixes to the gallery expiration date, setting your super important watermark and more

Features:

Announcing a new, friendlier, and easier-to-use dashboard! We noticed the dashboard was hindering rather than helping you and all our other Picsello photographers so we took a step back and redesigned the experience from the ground up. We have so many more improvements planned through this year to help you run your business as smoothly as possible.

Other features:

• Create a new client or find your existing clients when creating a standalone gallery
• Upload multiple folders at the same time within the gallery.
• We have added a lot more options to client booking. You can customize your booking events with hidden time slots or breaks. You can now edit them after they have been created and improvements to filtering and sorting.

Fixes:

• Show all enabled photography types when creating/editing a questionnaire

Fixes:

• Clients are unable to checkout when they hit a certain scenario
• Improving the stability of the platform with some bug fixes

‍

Features:

• New photographers will now be able to see a welcome modal the first three times they login to help them become familiar with Picsello

Fixes:

• A quick fix to apply taxes to photographers who need to collect tax on gallery sales

Features:

Improved Feature: We’ve simplified how you manage the photography types you offer and how you manage your packages within each. Now you can enable/disable photography types, view your packages by category, and duplicate them to save time. You’re also able to hide and show what packages you want offered on your Public Profile. Archived a package on accident or want to see what you offered last year? Take a look at the archive section with packages.

Other changes:

• Another batch of self-guided walkthroughs for new photographers to Picsello

Fixes:

• Within client booking, you now have the flexibility to leverage a payment schedule if one exists in your package; now you can decide to bill in two or three invoices vs. just one

Features

Improved Feature: Gallery proofing 2.0 is here! Creating a proofing gallery is now more streamlined within a job or as a standalone gallery. In addition to those improvements, you’re now able to add more than one gallery per job. Looking at you, sports and school photographers.

Here are some smaller features:

• We’ve added a plethora of new self-guided, Picsello account walkthroughs for anyone  just setting up their account 
• Also for new users: you can now input your instagram handle so Picsello  can follow and support you and your business + a field to ask where you signed up from to better support future photographers
• Added three “next up cards” to highlight new features that have been added

Fixes:

• Changed how global gallery settings expirations dates are calculated; it was much simpler to calculate based on gallery creation date versus shoot date

• Added a fresh coat of paint to some of the current features, you’ll see some new button styles and improved UX throughout
• Added the ability to dismiss next up cards that are added from our admin panel

• Fixed a minor issue in the new global gallery settings

Fixes:

• Minor fix to Contacts 2.0 and the lead/contact form

New Feature: Custom Questionnaires

Questionnaires are a great way to prep you and your client for a shoot as they help you learn about your client's expectations, give you time to get ahead of them, and see how those may/may not fit with the details around time of the shoot, location, etc. Our addition of pre-written questionnaire templates are ready for you to use as-is, or, duplicate and modify as you see fit! Need to dig deeper with a client? You can also easily create your own questionnaire from scratch to suit your specific shoot prep needs. 

New Feature: Contacts 2.0

Clients are the core of your business and with Contacts 2.0 it's easier than ever to organize, sort, and communicate with them. Here you can see all your clients in one view, search, sort, and add new ones. You can also easily take “action” by sending an email, creating a gallery, and more! Be sure to take advantage of tags - little notes that will help you sort, organize and segment your communications for CRM.

• View a full list of clients with their name, email, phone number, and tags
• View details by client

• send an email, create a lead or gallery, import jobs or archive right from the table

• Ability to search clients by email or name

‍

New Feature: Global Gallery Settings

Now you can set your own print product pricing and more with global gallery settings! This update gives you the ability to select gallery settings on a global level or modify them on a specific job level if you prefer. Adjustable settings include expiration dates on your galleries, watermarks for your images, digital products, as well as printed products, upselling, and pricing.
