Hide photos, or show them to the client only

Select photos, then use the bar that appears at the bottom. Select all on that bar takes every photo in the set you are looking at.

• Hide. Removes the photos from the gallery for everyone, including the client. They stay in your studio. Use it for a blink, a duplicate, or a frame you do not want delivered. Use it too for boudoir, for a guest who asked not to be shown, and for anything where being seen would cause harm.
• Client only. These photos open to anyone who enters the client’s email address. Use it for getting-ready frames, first-look reactions, and photos the client should have but that do not need to be in front of the whole guest list.

Both are also on a single photo’s ⋯ menu.

Who can see client-only photos

Anyone who types one of the client’s email addresses. That keeps the photos out of an ordinary guest’s view, because a guest who does not enter that address never receives them. But the client’s email address is known to their family, their wedding party and their vendors, so treat Client only as a filter rather than a lock. For anything that must never be seen by a guest, use Hide instead.

Three levels, side by side

	Who sees it	Where you set it
Hide	Only you	The photo’s ⋯ menu, or select and Hide
Client only	You, and anyone who enters the client’s email	The photo’s ⋯ menu, or select and Client only
The client hides it	You and the client. It disappears for guests	The client does this in their gallery

The Client Controls code lets clients hide or show photos for guests; it does not unlock client-only photos.

The first two are your decisions and happen on the photo. The third is a setting you can switch on for the client. See Let the client hide photos from guests.

Who counts as the client

Settings → Privacy → Client’s email sets which email address unlocks client-only photos.
