How do most of you deliver your images today?
copy.com here Nov 17 13 11:55 am Link I have a Zenfolio account where I load drafts and final edits. It's unlimited storage for around $120 a year and has everything I need for a web site, storage, file delivery, client shot selection, etc. My models can download single images or the whole set - very easy to use - has password protected albums etc. too.

I used to follow that up with a CD of the selected images, complete with a nice custom-printed label with the model's face and shoot info, but that was more of a nicety. The models all cared more about quick delivery of images.

Drop box on Saturday, dropping of 2 separate dvd's today. Email last week. Whatever the need. Nov 18 13 12:15 pm Link Cleft stick runner.  Nov 18 13 12:20 pm Link I just use facebook. But, I only shoot for fun, and facebook is the final destination of most pictures I take. If not facebook, I have a web server in my house they can download from. Nov 18 13 12:29 pm Link 1. I send a link to a zip file on my webserver. The client simply clicks and downloads. 2. For Local clients, I burn CDs/DVDs of files and deliver to the client. I enjoy and value face-time. I usually make several sets of images (in various formats) that they can use readily. e.g.: if I have worked with the client or clients web developer, for all web application images, I deliver a set that is sized and optimized ready to use on the web. 3. I also use SmugMug for some work (for paying when downloading) I tend NOT to use any public services like FB, DropBox etc. Nov 18 13 01:12 pm Link GPS Studio Services wrote: That's why I do it, and have to charge extra as sales tax would only apply to the single part. It's also the reason I don't do print sales, too much hassle for the type of products I deliver. Nov 18 13 03:20 pm Link Dropbox and DVD Nov 18 13 03:32 pm Link Full-sized JPEGs (up to 20 megs each) of every acceptable image on DVDs. Full-sized custom images downloadable from my SmugMug site. MM-sized custom images via email. Sometimes (twice in 2013) a model requests the RAW images. After verifying that they know what to do with .NEF files, I provide them on memory sticks. Most recently, I gave a model more than 800 NEFs (62 GB) on two 32 GB memory sticks. (I shoot uncompressed RAW images using a Nikon D800, so each one is about 75 megs.) Nov 18 13 04:14 pm Link I upload them to my server and send them the links. That way, I bypass possible email attachment file limits, compression from various sources (dropbox or anything else, you never know), etc. They end up with the exact same images with the same kb count, no changes, and my sever download speed is fast. Nov 18 13 04:25 pm Link Dropbox Nov 18 13 05:08 pm Link Frank McDonough wrote: Online Nov 18 13 05:21 pm Link Zenfolio or email. Nov 18 13 05:26 pm Link Normally I use to just give a jump drive or disk. Now I normally email or for clients setup a Dropbox folder. Nov 18 13 05:56 pm Link depends on shoot.....weddings and portrait shoots get one on one sit down to proof pictures, specify crops and changes, then DVD with all edited images and release for them to print from the dvd...do not do prints anymore, email for other collaborations, dvd for final... Nov 18 13 06:32 pm Link As lame as it sounds, I've been making a temporary Flickr set they can download the full resolution files from. I tell them they have a week to get them off. Now that everyone gets a free TB of space, I figured what the hell! Nov 19 13 07:56 am Link I send a few of the best edited/composed via email and then send them the disk. People are eager to see even a few images as soon as possible. Nov 19 13 08:00 am Link As a photographer I only give edited images. And since my work is based on heavy post work, I give very limited numbers... So email works fine for me, but this depends on how you work, how many you deliver, what format and size you give. Personally I don't find CDs to be practical. Online is easier. There are services for that such as DropBox if you intend to transfer bigger amounts. Nov 19 13 08:00 am Link JWC54321 wrote: +1. Love my Dropbox account. Nov 19 13 09:35 pm Link Using Dropbox more and more............ Nov 20 13 02:50 am Link I post them in a password protected folder on my website and send them the link and password. The files are low resolution and downloadable. They usually collect the prints or photo-books from my office. On very rare occasions I will send prints or books by post but I charge extra for that and very few take up the option. Nov 20 13 06:42 am Link I send a few, typically 5, of the first edited images at a medium resolution via e-mail within 24 hours of the shoot. I then send a DVD of all the full size high resolution edited images that we have agreed upon via the mail within 7 days of the shoot date. Nov 20 13 09:18 am Link For me it depends on the client, project and final file sizes. For example if a client sends me a 600K jpeg image to retouch, then I will return the final retouch by email. If the client sends me multiple jpeg files 4MB+ each or RAW files to retouch, then I setup an individual dropbox share folder for that client. Also if it is a repeat client, I will usually setup an individual dropbox share folder for that client. Nov 20 13 04:55 pm Link I use WeTransfer usually for clients. Sometimes email.
