Online Proofing Options - BUT with ZOOM feature ??
Highdy Ho there Neighbor!!! Okay most of us are familiar with sites like Smugmug and Zenfolio and a number of others for "online proofing" of photos, but from what I have seen, they all seem to be lacking one very important thing. I am wanting to find such a site/service that allows the viewer (such as a model) to ZOOM in on the photo to be able to take a closer look at details in the image. Especially for vertical images, these site's image display does not allow seeing just part of the image, it always shrinks them down to the browser size. What are some options that allow password protected galleries where a model can actually zoom in to look at detail areas in a photo, rather than being limited to dynamic resized that always shrink the image down to stay within the browser.

I don't think you can zoom in to the photos as you like, but it does allow the model the option to download higher rez versions of the photos, which can then be zoomed in. Also the galleries can be password protected and is customizable. Best part of the whole deal is, after the model is through with picking out their choices, they just fill out a simple form and hit "send", and I get all their choices sent to me by email, which then can be used to filter out their choices from the rest of the photos I took that day. Just copy and paste their choices into the library text filter, and "Bamp!" there they are. You will have to upload all the gallery files to your website though, as the turning gate does not host your galleries for you. Overall pretty simple setup and easy for the models since all they have to do is click and send.

The underlying idea is to streamline things, to avoid them needing to download the full (or high) res proofs to examine details in order to decide which to select. It just seems so amazing to me that after all this time, there is no zoom option. Group photo, client wants to look at expressions of individuals, nope, can't zoom. Vertical scenic photo with client at bottom on foreground, zoom in to look close, nope, not supported.
