Headshot proofing workflow

Proofing software for headshot photographers who need clean selections and faster approvals.

Give clients a refined proofing gallery where they can review images, choose favorites, submit selections, and understand exactly what happens before final delivery.

The friction

The hardest part of proofing is often the handoff after the gallery is sent.

A client emails filenames instead of submitting final choices.

Retouching starts before the selected images are clearly confirmed.

A gallery link goes out, but the client still has to ask how many images to choose.

A cleaner standard

Make proofing feel guided instead of improvised.

A polished gallery is only half the client experience. The client also needs to know how many images to choose, whether retouching is included, and when the final images will arrive.

LumenProof keeps those instructions close to the gallery itself, so choices are easier to submit and the studio has a clearer record before retouching begins.

Workflow

From uploaded proofs to retouching-ready selections.

01

Upload proofs into a private gallery

Give the client one branded place to review the session, not a folder link followed by instructions in a separate thread.

02

Guide favorites into submitted selections

Favorites are useful while clients browse. Submitted selections are what the studio can safely move into retouching.

03

Move the gallery into finals-ready delivery

Keep proof history intact while the finished files become their own polished handoff.
