An All-Inclusive System for Collaboration

Free online proofing for photographers really can be a reality. Ashore’s online proofing platform finally gives photographers the tools to collect the feedback they need and approve proofs faster. You’ll no longer lose valuable feedback in your inbox or waste work time sending follow-up emails to nail down approvers. Ashore automates the entire process for you! Ashore is incredibly intuitive to use. Our streamlined design and functionality only takes minutes for you to master, and your approvers won’t need an account or login to get started. All you need to do to begin proofing is upload your files – Ashore supports all major file types for photos as well as videos, documents, HTML and more. You can upload as many photos as you need to in a single proof, too.

Once you’ve chosen what to send, you can configure your workflow. Workflows can be saved and reused in the future, considerably speeding up the setup process. Ashore automatically takes your proof through the workflow in the sequence you’ve specified. You can also send to a single approver or a group of approvers at once for unstructured collaboration. Set automated reminders to occur as frequently as needed until your approvers do their part in the proofing process. When it’s their turn, each approver has several tools to help them best communicate their feedback.

Threaded comments and markup tools are made directly on your photos, reducing confusion and putting feedback in context. Conversations can now stay right where they need to be: with your photographs. Our users have an enormous amount of flexibility to customize the approval process for their own purposes. You can opt to prohibit approvers from downloading photos or from seeing other approver comments. Email templates allow you to customize the emails sent from Ashore, and they can be saved for quick retrieval later. Custom checklists help you help your approvers be better proofers and feel more confident in their approvals.

And we can’t say this enough: Ashore is free! Photographers already have a lot to juggle, and with Ashore, you’ll finally have a system that manages some of these processes for you. Sign up today and start getting your proofing process in order!
