Making your Album Online

Choosing Album Photos Using the Website

Ok, we’ve made it through the rehearsal, the ceremony, and the party.  Photos are done and now it is time to make an album.  You are in the right place.  If you follow along here, you will be able to choose photos for your album without downloading them, you can do it from your phone, tablet, or computer.  When you’re done, I will be able to see the three folders you’ve created with the photos you’ve chosen.  Then it’s my turn to make magic, and produce a STUNNING album.

I have to say once again, that the easier way to choose and sort for an album is to DOWNLOAD all the photos and do it on your computer.  If you still want to do it this way, please carry on…

Follow along, and try to keep up, go slowly, it will all make sense.  Let’s begin…

You’re on my website, go the BLOG dropdown, and find your event.  I will use Marley’s Bat Mitzvah.

Click on your event, below the photo you will find a link to ‘All the Photos HERE‘.  Click it.

Login with your name and the password you were provided to enter the secure portfolio.

This will bring you into your portfolio where all the photos have been sorted into groups.

Click on a portfolio, I chose ‘Just Marley‘.

Arrow-Down-grey

Click on any picture in the portfolio.  It will get larger.

The larger photo will have a dropdown in the TOP LEFT CORNER.  Hover over the ADD TO FAVOURITES link.

Arrow-Down-grey

You’ll see a screen which says ‘Save Favourites‘, click CONTINUE.

Arrow-Down-grey

Either log in or make a new account.  I made a NEW ACCOUNT.

It then says that Selected Photos have been added to your Collection.  We’re on our way… but first you have to make some decisions for the book.  You need to know which photos will be LARGE and take up a whole page, which photos will be MEDIUM and be two on a page, and which will be SMALL, 4-6 on a page.  As you can see, we are going to make THREE folders, LARGE, MEDIUM, and SMALL.

Go to MY SELECTION in the top corner, and click on EDIT MY SELECTION.

Arrow-Down-grey

You’ll get this screen.  Click EDIT, and RENAME the FOLDER NAME to … let’s say, LARGE.

Arrow-Down-grey

OK, I renamed the Folder to LARGE and Saved it.

Arrow-Down-grey

You can now add more photos to the LARGE Portfolio just by clicking the HEART in the TOP RIGHT CORNER of each picture.

Arrow-Down-grey

I added three photos to the Large Portfolio.  Now I will make a NEW PORTFOLIO called MEDIUM.  Click on the DOWN ARROW next to (3), the little v, and then click CREATE NEW.

Arrow-Down-grey

You can see the MEDIUM FOLDER has (0) photos yet.

Arrow-Down-grey

But you’re in the Medium Folder now, so start clicking on the LITTLE HEARTS at the TOP RIGHT of the photos you want to choose as Medium.  Here is a photo now, I clicked the Heart, the photo is saved in the Medium Folder.

Arrow-Down-grey

Then you make a Small folder and do the same, add photos in the small folder. You click ‘+ Add new set

Arrow-Down-grey

Name the folder SMALL, and click CREATE.

Arrow-Down-grey

When all is done, you should have approximately 20-ish LARGE, 20-ish MEDIUM, and 30-ish SMALL photos in their respective folders.  Then email me and let me know you’ve chosen, and I will take a look.

It’s pretty straight forward.  You can add and delete photos from the different sets, and keep going until you are happy.

Connect if you get lost, happy choosing.
