How do I save a selection in the gallery?

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

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

How do I create a selection?

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.

02 – Select images 

To start 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.

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".

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 selection.

03 – Don't forget to save your selection

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 selection:

Now choose a unique title for the selection. 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 selection can be clearly assigned to you by your photographer. If you like, you can also send a message along with the selection. Finally, click on "Save & Send". We will then send your photographer a confirmation e-mail with all the information about the newly saved selection.

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

04 – Display and correct selection

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

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