Gallery look & templates

A gallery’s look is how it’s laid out and styled for the people viewing it: the layout, the cover, colours, type, and a few viewer options. You can set one look for your whole studio, save several as named templates, and still change a single shoot or public gallery when it needs something different.

Templates

Section titled “Templates”

Go to Settings and open Gallery templates (under Customer delivery). Only workspace admins can change templates.

You start with four built-in templates:

  • Classic Grid — an even four-column grid under a washed cover header.
  • Editorial — a three-column masonry wall with a full-width cover and a serif font.
  • Film Strip — one horizontal strip on a dark background, scrolled like a contact sheet.
  • Minimal — one photo per row, no file names, no cover.

You can:

  • Make default on any template. The default is the look every shoot and public gallery wears unless it has picked its own. Stop using as default turns that off.
  • New template to build your own: give it a name, set the options below, and click Create template. Use Edit to change it later and Delete to remove it. Galleries using a deleted template switch to your studio default; their photos aren’t affected.
  • Make a copy to edit on a built-in template. Built-ins can’t be edited directly.

The options

Section titled “The options”
Option Choices
Layout Grid, Masonry, Single column, Film strip
Columns 2 to 6 (for Grid and Masonry)
Spacing None, Tight, Medium, Airy
Cover Behind the title, Full-width photo, Title over the photo, No cover
Colours Background, Tiles, Buttons and links, Accent
Font and Text size A choice of fonts; Small, Medium or Large

Any colour, font or text size left on Studio branding uses what you set in Branding. Use studio branding puts one back.

Under What clients can do:

  • Hide file names — no names under photos or in the viewer.
  • Block right-click — discourages casual saving. It isn’t protection; anyone determined can still copy what’s on screen.
  • Show whole-gallery download buttons — Download, ZIP and Save to Drive for everything the client already owns. Turning it on never unlocks anything.

Workspace admins also see a Watermark group, which can override the show (text or logo), opacity and position for that gallery. Anything left on Studio watermark uses Settings → Watermark.

Section titled “Set the look on one shoot or public gallery”

Each shoot and each public gallery has a Gallery look card, titled How clients see this gallery:

  • For a shoot, click the pencil (Edit details) on the shoot in Shoots (the card is also on the New shoot form).
  • For a public gallery, open it from Public galleries.

Choose Studio default, one of your templates, or Custom for this gallery. Picking the default or a template saves straight away. A custom look has its own Save custom look button.

To see the result the way a client does, use Preview as client on the shoot (see Delivering a shoot).

Play slideshow

Section titled “Play slideshow”

When a gallery has more than one photo, clients see a Play slideshow button above the photos, on private client galleries and public galleries alike. It plays the photos (not videos) one after another, five seconds each, using the same image the gallery already shows that viewer, so photos they haven’t bought still show with the watermark. Space or K pauses, the arrow keys step, and Esc closes. If a viewer’s device is set to reduce motion, the slideshow starts paused.
