Question

Accepted Answer

Has your photographer asked you to create a set in your gallery?

The following step-by-step guide will explain how to create a set in picdrop.

How do I create a set?

01 – Open gallery

Your gallery should look like the screenshot so that you can get started straight away.

If your gallery starts with a screen-filling header image, click on the “To Edit Mode” button to start with your selection.

A photo management dashboard displays multiple images of a woman sitting and reading. On the left, there are buttons for uploading and downloading files, filter options, and set management tools highlighted with a blue box and arrow.

02 – Select images

To start with the selection, click on the “New set” button in the sidebar on the left or simply click directly on the blue plus sign at the top left of each image.

A digital photo management interface displays multiple images of a woman reading a book. One image is highlighted in the center with a blue arrow pointing to it and a “Download” button below. Other images are arranged in a grid.

Alternatively, you can also click directly on the image to open the large single image view and select the image there by clicking on “+ Select”.

A woman sits on a brown chair, smiling while holding a smartphone in one hand and typing on a laptop with the other. She wears glasses and a black top, with a dark green background behind her.

If you then close the single image view again and are back in the gallery, you will see your selected images in the bar at the bottom. There you will also find the information how many images are currently included in your set.

03 – Don’t forget to save your set

Once you have selected all your favorite images, it is essential to save them. To do so, click on “Save as set” at the bottom right, as shown in screenshot:

A pop-up menu will then open to save, name and send your set:

A pop-up window titled Save Set displays input fields for set title, name, email address, and an optional message, with Cancel and Save & Send buttons at the bottom.

Now choose a unique title for the set. After saving, the title will be visible to all gallery visitors in the sidebar on the left.

Please also leave your name and e-mail address so that the set can be clearly assigned to you by your photographer. If you like, you can also send a message along with the set. Finally, click on “Save & Send”. We will then send your photographer a confirmation e-mail with all the information about the newly saved set.

Please note that you can also create multiple sets and that other gallery visitors may also do so.

04 – Display and correct sets

Once you have created your set, you will find it in the left sidebar of the gallery. Click on it to display the images you have selected.

A webpage displays a photo selection interface with images of a woman seated and reading. The Select all and Magazine Prints buttons are highlighted in the lower left, and a blue arrow points to Magazine Prints.

You can of course also make changes to your set later. To do so, add a new image to the set and then click on “Save as set” again. You will now be asked whether you want to update the existing set or save a new one.

A pop-up window with the title Update or Save? offers options to update the existing selection Magazine Prints, save as a new selection, or cancel. Two yellow buttons and one grey button are shown.
