Then the following instructions will help you to understand how you can use color flags in picdrop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use the color flags to mark images that you consider to be finished, for example, with the color \u201cgreen\u201d. Or you can mark images in \u201corange\u201d if there are still changes to be made. The name of the color flag can give you an indication of what you can use a particular color flag for. You should discuss the exact use with your photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also important to know that each image can only be marked with one color at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do I use the color flags?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>01 &#8211; Open the gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 once on \u201cTo Collaboration Mode&#8221; to start with the color flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1510\" height=\"784\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-01.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-01.png 1510w, https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-01-1280x665.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-01-960x498.png 960w, https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-01-768x399.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1510px) 100vw, 1510px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>02 &#8211; Setting color flags<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will find the color flags at the top right of each image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1171\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-02.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-02.png 1171w, https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-02-929x540.png 929w, https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-02-768x447.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1171px) 100vw, 1171px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you move the mouse over an image in the gallery, the flag symbol for the color flags appears in the top right-hand corner. Click on it to open the menu to then select the color. You will then see the color flag attached directly to the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also set a color flag in the large single image view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1502\" height=\"1028\" src=\"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-03.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-03.png 1502w, https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-03-1052x720.png 1052w, https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-03-789x540.png 789w, https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/picdrop-add-clolor-flags-03-768x526.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1502px) 100vw, 1502px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, you don&#8217;t have to save the color flags. Your photographer will receive an e-mail from us to keep them up to date with any changes to the gallery whenever changes are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope these instructions have helped you to find your way around picdrop.
