Great guide step by step, I like how it splits tools for pros, beginners, and mobile. Lightroom really is a top all-rounder, though I think Luminar Neo is the best pick for starters since it is easier to learn and still gives professional results.

You should update this to include Affinity Studio – it’s completely free unless you want the AI features. Includes the former Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher, all updated.

Thanks for breaking this down into simple steps — very useful.

Useful tips and friendly tone — a winning combination. Thanks!

I tried your suggestion and it worked perfectly for me. Cheers!

How do I put the caption over the image, not above or below it?

Great guide, I like how it splits tools for pros, beginners and mobile. Lightroom really is a top all rounder, though I think Luminar Neo is a better pick for beginners since it is easier to learn and still gives professional results.

I need to show the gallery in a strange way, and I’m making my own shortcode to display it.
I use ‘_eg_in_gallery’ to retrieve the photo id’s, I have that part under control, but I need to know how to retrieve the order of the images like it is in the gallery editor.
Until now the images are allways displayed in the upload order.

Can you give me a hint?

Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed review, Williamson! Your blog is a great guide for photographers. The product photo editor you recommended looks perfect for ecommerce—can’t wait to try it.

Nice list, but curious why Luminar Neo isn’t mentioned here?

Such a helpful article! Those are the reasons why photography plays an important role in our life. With my years of experience being a photographer, every photo I captured help me grow and learn to become a better person. One photo can’t be described in one word as it connects us to unknown/known people, places, stories, and even emotions.

This work is nice

This is such a helpful guide! I always got confused about which image format to use, but your explanations made it super clear. I especially liked the quick guide chart—so useful! Thanks for breaking everything down in a way that’s easy to understand.

I’m shocked that Rank Math didn’t make your list.

I have tried 3 on this list for extended periods, 1 year or more. Nothing seems to come close to Rank Math which you don’t even mention. Not sure about the validity of this list.

I use LightningBase for my host….they are fantastic.

Is there any way to copy the settings from album or gallery, or make an overall setting that will be used on all galleries or albums?

Hi!
Can i make this thing.
There is some page and i want to display all images with specific tags into it. For example, tag1+tag2+tag3.
Your gallery plugin allows to do this?

Do you have the ability to create galleries by inserting links to photo URLs, for example from Google Drive? (So as not to upload them to WordPress)

Hey!!
I really enjoyed this tutorial but when instructing how to invert selection on the mac it appears that a typo has been made. The shortcut for desaturation is repeated (cmd + shift + U) when it should be cmd + shift + I. Other than that it was super helpful thank you!!

Interesting to read

That’s a really good (and long awaited) functionaliy! Thanks a lot for that.
But, what about SPAM comments? Is there some Captcha feature or similar else?

With best regards,
TJ

Professional photography is about more than just taking pictures. It’s about creating content that reflects your brand’s values, message, and identity in the most compelling way.

I tried to download the Green Greens presets. All I could do was leave my email address and then it took me to another “Bundle” which I was asked to purchase.
I never received the Green Greens presets, and at this point, I am not looking to buy any other presets from you until I see how these work out.
Please send me the free presets.
Thank you!

As a wedding photographer, would you be willing to compromise your creative vision in order to meet the demands and expectations of your clients, potentially sacrificing your artistic integrity for financial gain? How do you navigate the balance between staying true to your style and appeasing your clients?

What modern technologies and services can be used to host a hybrid wedding that combines physical and virtual guest attendance?

Is there a plugin which counts how many times an Envira Gallery is opened, and how many times each image in the gallery is viewed?

How do I get the spreadsheet pictured?

No mention of AVIF?

well-written! Thank you for sharing

Hi Martin, we recommend building your website on WordPress. To get your site up and running quickly, we highly recommend WPBeginner’s website building services. If you prefer to do it yourself, you may want to check out SeedProd, which is a beginner-friendly theme and page builder plugin for WordPress.

As for purchasing your domain and hosting, I’m not familiar with asphostportal, but can recommend SiteGround, Bluehost, Hostgator, or WPEngine. For more hosting alternatives, check out our article on the best web hosting.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions. ?

Very useful list, thank you! I’ve always treated wedding photography as a team work, because no photographer is a mind reader and the clients should also put their expectations on the table. It’s crucial because sometimes the clients’ expectations and the photographer’s working style just don’t match, so it’s always better to learn about this beforehand so that you could work on something together or just part ways. Wedding photos, no matter how rarely looked at, will always be there in a form of social media posts, printed and framed images or just wedding anniversary Smartshow 3d videos, so you, as a photographer, should be open for communication.

I absolutely love color splash, been doing it since day one in Photoworks and currently I’m learning Lightroom, so the tutorial is super-helpful! Thanks!

Thank you for the list. I am a beginner photographer and this was very helpful.

I must say, that is an excellent compilation. Please have a look at the several free Lightroom Look presets that my team and I have created.
Link: https://www.beart-presets.com/shop/p/free-lightroom-presets

Great list, but it sertainly lacks Photodiva, it’s an amazing portrait editor that is free and pretty lightweight!

Appreciate the thorough review, Williamson! Your blog post offers valuable guidance for photographers seeking the right editing tools. I’m especially intrigued by the product photo editor you recommended—it appears to offer specialized features for ecommerce purposes. Looking forward to giving it a try.

These wedding photography pose ideas are fantastic! They offer a wide range of creative and unique options for capturing the bride and groom’s special moments. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced wedding photographer, these poses are sure to add charm to your photography. Great inspiration for creating beautiful wedding albums!

Hey, this is a great list. I’d love it if you checked out the many free presets we’ve developed over on Lightroom Look. Here’s a few fan faovirtes:

Top black and white preset – https://lightroomlook.com/preset/contrast-noir
Faded sepia preset – https://lightroomlook.com/preset/a-faded-sunset

Great ideas

Fascinating article. I’ve been using VSCO MOD APK for both photo and video editing, and it’s proven to be quite helpful and user-friendly.

High standard, and not easy.

You should become a Shutterstock Contributor—it’s a great way to get money, experience, and more work for your portfolio.

I went to download paint.net from the Microsoft store but, I found out it was not free. It was approx 10 dollars to purchase. Were you aware of that or is there another way to get the software for free? Thanks.

Appreciate you sharing, great tips.

Getting a lot of useful information from here, giving me a few ideas too!
Thank you guys, nice job.

Wow, I appreciate the author. Very detailed and easy-to-understand article. Keep it up enviragallery

Hats off to the details.

I must be retarded – healing brush doesn’t work no matter what tutorial I watch

It would be great when I could use an existing gallery to create a new one, so I do not have to change all the necessary settings.

So:
Copy a gallery.
Give a new name and add new images.
But all the settings are the same as the original one…

I would favor zoom lens of high quality. 24-105mm is my preference.

I would focus on one camera, zoom lens (24-105mm is my pick), & a strong compact flash, along with several camera & flash batteries in your pockets, & extra memory cards. Manual or aperture setting on camera. Know what setting to use on your flash beforehand. Bring along a backup camera, & one or two portable strobe light with stands, and a flash meter (with spare batteries).

Great

* How do you feel about using things Instagram to promote your photos? Is it a good way to get brand exposure, or is it a bad idea because of the possibility of theft??

Excellent tips and great photos to follow along! Thank you!

Shutterstock was a waste of time. Also, making only 20 – 30% on my work that costs them very little to keep on site, its not worth it.

How to reverse the image order in an existing gallery?

I’m still learning On1 PhotoRaw 2022 and love what you can do with all the functionality. However, try as I may, I can’t seem to find the option to add a blank layer that you can paint on with color splotches of your choice to blend onto the lower layer. Is the only way you can do this is to find the color in a texture and mask it out? Not as satisfactory or easy as being able to do it yourself.

I’m new at photography, using my iPhone right now. Can you sell iPhone pics online? or do you need to use 35mm camera? People have told me I have a good eye and should publish a book. So I thought i could sell online possibly. Thanks for any feedback.

I have had good results with a program called Turbo Image Compressor. I don’t like uploading my images to random websites and so I prefer to use offline utilities.
Turbo Image Compressor has a nice feature set such as compressing JPEGs based on a desired file size in Kilobytes, compression quality slider, shrink by max width or max height in pixels and batch processing of course. I like my images around 250-300kb for my web pages and this application is perfect for this use case, I don’t have to fiddle with settings to get the desired file size and it’s very easy to use. It is available to download from Softpedia

This does not address flash on a subject of the photo; this only deals with flash in a photo as seen by a viewer.

Can the polaroid gallery be set up as a photo auto slider. Single row, thumbnail type slider with 4-6 individual images.

love this

I’d like to learn how to edit a photo by changing the face with some one else’s

How can I add a long caption? Currently, they get truncated.
Also, can the font be darker & bigger please?
How can I do that easily (I am not a coder…)

Howdy! I use and love Envira Gallery Pro and wanted to pass along another great place to sell your photos: Photo Art Pavilion

I just started with them at the end of November and have sold 5 photos so far. They handle everything once you upload your images – packing, shipping, matting, frames and so on. And take a look at my photos 🙂

I love the plugin…Have the Pro Version on several websites. Use the display videos lightbox layout.. Do we have any control over how the lightbox is displayed ? It has a white line around the video player….Even if we change the gallery lightbox theme it stays the same….

Hello,
Thanks for your post !
Is there a way to design the client login with your plugin Envira ?

Thanks for your answer,
Best regards.

My career photography

Does this work with existing compression tools on the website such as Imagify or ShortPixel? Or will there be conflicts?

Thank you, This list was very helpful.

The compression settings option is great. Thank you for that. Could you provide more detail on how the image sizes feature works? I get that multiple pixel dimensions can be generated using the check boxes. I do NOT get how they work in practice. Is there some code that instructs the browser which variation to use? Do all the multiple size variations wind up in the media library?

Photoshop is the best software to use when it comes for photo editing

Hello Alex! I think you have absolutely nailed it but point 5 is what always photographer must perform that is pre-planning of the shoot as that will let us make the final changes as required.

thanks for sharing

Personally, I believe that giving control to the third-party website is not a good strategy and staying in control of your price and transactions is ultimately a better strategy.

Hey, that’s a huge list of presets! Thanks a lot!

For those asking how to batch replace multiple files. Use those 2 plugin combined:

– Overwrite Uploads (name is auto-explicative)

– Extend Media Upload (it lets you select the folder to upload to, instead of the default one)

I think PNG = Portable Network Graphics is better and helpful .

It didn’t change the file. It says it was successful but when I check it out, the link points to the old file.

I strive to post only unique content on my site, and this applies not only to articles, but also to photographs. For a long time I could not figure out where to get high-quality photos for my site. I took some photos myself, but I have no special skills and a professional camera. Your article helped me figure out my problem. Thank you for helping me make my site better!

Beautiful Photographs Especially The Lion As I Love BIG Cats.

Strongly disagree, dark colours don’t always blend in. If you’re at a beach or winery, black does the total opposite of being subtle. And dressing like a guest blends in far more. I don’t want people to notice me, therefore I dress like a guest. If I am in any photos from either my second shooter, the videographer, or other guests, you barely see me as I’m not dressed like a waiter in all black.

Thank you, your post helped me so much. I installed too many plugins, and because of this, the speed of my site slowed down a lot. After reading your post, I realized which plugins I really need. Thanks!

Just a big thank you for posting this. Unlike so many of the “solutions” posted online, yours actually works, and the techniques are explained simply and clearly. Much appreciated.

Every one of these photos are gorgeous. Well done.

I followed until “choose New Layer with Layer Mask from the drop-down menu and click OK. ”
Don’t see that anywhere (in Feb. 2021, PS Rel. 22.0.1). Which drop-down menu?

On1 photo raw uses a single database to store all the photos. This is very risky as any corruption to the database will make you rebuilding your database again which is a very painful process. I prefer Lightroom’s support for multiple catalogs as corruption to one catalog will not affect the others, which makes life much easier.

I currently utilize Lightroom 6 and it feels like I’m being restricted by Adobe for their cloud and monthly subscription based Lightroom Classic if I want to update my current Lightroom 6. It seems to me that when I purchased Lightroom 6 I would be able to update that platform. Adobe evidently decided differently and
as a result willl continue to look for a non Lightroom replacement photo editing program as Lightroom 6 would probably be unable to support any new cameras, lens that I purchase in the future. I would gladly pay a reasonable upgrade fee to my lifetime and stand alone version 6 if available.

Thanks for writing this in-depth review.

I just added Envira plugin to post gallery of my favorite recipes (each linking to original blogger). I’d like to post a sentence or two below each gallery image with my notes about the recipe. Any idea how I can do this?

Stocksy isn t the largest stock photography website, but it certainly isn t the smallest. It has a reputation for being the artsiest stock agency online. That s why it s undoubtedly the site that publishers love to look at when searching for new images.

I just wanna say that the bear is cute

I m wondering if my camera ill be able to take okay photos of a wedding from the beginning to the end.
Canon Powershot SX430 IS
Thank you.

why do i have to push ok on every photo that is resized – how do i get it to just batch automatically – did i not check something

First….ah – that is NOT a Tucan. It’s a Puffin. Otherwise, good advice for those wanting to improve their wildlife photos. I always carry at least 1 FF camera body and an APS C. The APS C acts as my extender. Thank you for the in-depth article.

Can someone recommend RANGES? Thanks xxx

Picmonkey is still my go-to app though it offers limited features in the free version.
However, after Picmonkey I love Lightroom for its mult-editing features. Besides, its interface is simple and intuitive.
Thanks for adding this app on this list.

Hi, Ellie!

These have been rolled out already; you should have access to them via the latest gallery themes addon, and they’ll be found in a dropdown in the lightbox tab.

Please write in through our ticketing system with login information, etc., as per usual, if you don’t see these options on your end.

Hi
I don’t see these themes as options in my installation? Are they being rolled out?

Your blog may have saved my bacon. Error on my part: Left the kitchen lighting on while natural light streamed in. Rookie mistake I need to fix post, so I am grateful for you sharing your knowledge.

I always struggle with the light settings. The most exhausting part of the job feel. I would like to hear about your thoughts on this. Anyways great article for the photography enthusiasts. Keep posting the good stuff.

Thank-you so much for amazing ideas.

Thanks so much for this post, it has to be the largest collection of lightroom presets I have seen! So many great items to download should keep me going for a while. keep up the good work.

I like this

as soon as i press update then it returns to the original

Nothing happened? I hit control d… nothing.

It would help to create a slider widget outside the lightbox.

great, images are in media but the links in the posts are still pointing to src=”https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-etc?

Thank you very much for the recommendations. I have used several of them and some of them count more impressions, others pay better, in short each one has its own.

Why not just use real film profiles? In 2020 all the film stocks ever made are already digitised by specialist companies (like RNI) and available as profiles for Lightroom.

Personally I use RNI All Films 5 and apply a Kodak Ektar 100 or Kodak Portra 400 profile as a default on import.

Not only they sort out the colors but also render better highlights from the same RAW, prevent clipping if required and do other nice things. Can’t recommend enough.

Completely agree with R’s comment above. Shutterstock should not be on this list!! Their new lowered fee structure of paying photographers 10c per photo sale is an absolute insult.

Don’t waste your time with Shutterstock!

Thank you so much for this post. I am really passionate about photography and travel. I had the same question ”How do I sell my photos online?”. I wish I had found this article earlier. It was really an eye-opener.

I hope it helps someone and thank you for another great article 🙂

Alt text associated with images in your WordPress Media Library should appear in the alt text field inside your gallery automatically. If you’re not seeing your alt text auto-populate inside the gallery, or you’re seeing it auto-populate in the wrong gallery field, please reach out to our Support Team for more help.

Here is another article we wrote for where to sell your pictures online. Hope this helps
http://enviragallery.com/best-places-to-sell-photos-online-and-make-money/

I also want to sell pictures
Where would I sell??..
In everywere site first wanted money for registration and than I could sell any pic
I want any site or app were I could sell my pics without money

Very helpful 🙂

Interesting article and subject!
Making money with photography sounds like the stuff of dreams, doesn’t it? Especially if you’ve loved picking up a camera and getting creative for as long as you can remember.

You’d get to indulge in one of your true passions on a daily basis, finely tune your skills, learn more about humans and what makes them tick, create beautiful pieces of art and still manage to pay your bills at the same time.

You could wave goodbye to your unfulfilling 9-5, stop having to answer to your boss and start living life on your own terms.

It’s not going to be easy, of course.

Hope we can all make some more money online and especially with photography.

Cheers!

i am unable to find “plugin manager” on my windows Photoshop Lightroom … is it now hidden?

My place is one of the best tourist spot and I would like to sell photo from it as part of my tour organizing business.

I’ve developed websites in both WordPress and Squarespace but now will only use Squarespace. I can still customize as much as I want using CSS and HTML, use advanced SEO and usually finish in about the quarter of the time it took with WordPress. An added bonus, I am able to train the majority of my clients to make their own changes to copy or add new images easily, leaving me with the larger structural changes.

There are many online image optimizer. The challenge is to ensure the quality so that there is no significant impact for end user. This has good compression and does not deteriorate quality

Shutterstock on this list? What a joke! They lowered the photographer revenue to 10c per photo sale. Who wants to sell their photos for 10c?

i want learn about how to edit a photoshop cartoon on a system

am so happy to see this i love it

Is there any site that one can actually see what the Solioquy slideshow options look like and what kind of slideshow features they support?? I have committed to creating all my galleries in Envira but had difficulty finding a satisfactory slideshow option as most slideshow plug ins were either very funky or could not support captions. Does Solioquy support image captions? For some reason, most do not.
John

Hi! thank you very much for really easy guide. It’s work

Nowadays, photoshoot poses are gaining wode popularity amongst couples. Various poses can be adopted by the couple like the following can be chosen – the kiss, lying in the grass etc… this can be quite interesting.

I’m actually a Website Designer plus SEO Analyst. About to build a photography e-commerce website for a client. I must confess, the plugins and tips here are great to go with.

The face swap tutorial was great for me right up until the end.
I have an old version of Photoshop that doesn’t have auto blend. How would I manually do what auto blend did on the face in the tutorial, If possible?
Also, if I remove the whole head from a photo and placed it on a body in a different photo, how would I manually make the seams disappear?
Thank you very much for the Gallery and thanks for the tutorial.

Julie – did you find a solution to your question? We are having the same issue.

I’m having trouble adding albums. Seems there isn’t a block for those, just the galleries…

Hi, this didn’t work for me. It just painted my image not added a white paint border, please help.

CC BY : This license allows you to use the image for whatever purpose you want, but you have to attribute it. If you change the image, you can then change the license to whatever you want.

I came here to find the answer to that the same as Jamie above. I’ve built my galleries and tested where to put the alt tag. They are independent – if you add the alt tag in the envira gallery it will not be there in the media gallery, and vice versa. So the question is are we meant to add them to both places or just one? Or is there a setting somewhere that says ‘take the alt tag from media gallery’ or something like that? Anyone got the answer out there please?

Can u edit my picture too

+1, if enabled it creates conflict between yoast seo and elementor (i really can’t explain why!!!)

That’s really nice post. I appreciate, Thanks for sharing.

I seem to be able to write alt text for in image in the Envira Gallery that differs from the alt text of the image in my WordPress Media Gallery. Is this normal? It seems that Envira doesn’t pick up on any changes to my image’s alt text in the WordPress Media Gallery. Are these two alt texts conflicting with each other?

I love this, thank you very much, very good job!

I want to replace more than 100 images, just need to replace the file content, their existing names will still be the same as before.

Enable Media Replace is quite cool, but it still doesn’t have the ability to let us select massive files to replace the current existing files (maybe hundreds or thousands of files).

I think it would be cooler if there is bulk replace feature.

Does Green screen work well?

Thank you very much for all this information.

Your awesome man…..

what if I could not find channel panel what tools can I use again and what version can make cartoon

interesting, I’m curious to understand how big of a market is it now in 2020?

To start earning money from the first image posted, you need to know which topics are in demand and which are completely uninteresting for customers. High demand exists in photographs, the subject of which covers the areas of business, society, health, and landscapes. The subject shooting is also popular.

I wonder what the position is with facebook? Where images are distributed freely.. also if you put up a share button and the image is in your page are you not actually asking that it is shared??

I am wondering how or where I can find information on how to price photos that I have if I wanted to start selling them. Can anyone give me ideas where to start?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I think that such suggestions may be useful for all website owners especially if your main content is original images or photos. I know that some companies even use thew watermarks on their logos to avoid duplications as well as they use their logo as a watermark in original photos and images.

Thanks

Great List of Plugins.

Also, I would like to add WP Paint – WordPress Image Editor Plugin, It will help photographers with image editing, apply effects like blur and more, image adjustment.

Hi Thank you for this helpful tips on how to get into the photography field. I want to make photography as a full time job. I hope to connect with you in the future. HAPPY SHOOTING 2020

Thank you so much. I am on my journey to becoming a wildlife photographer and this really helped

Great list of photo editors. I think the most issues people have when choosing a high-end photo editor, is getting a “complete package” as you do with Lightroom+ Photoshop in Adobe’s Photography Cloud subscription. Lightroom could be way better, and most photographers who want something else than Lightroom, get stuck because they will miss Photoshop. The best current alternative I believe to be Affinity Photo. Affinity Photo is quite cheap and is very close to matching up with Photoshop.

Good Day i am shooting a wedding on a sunny day i turn my subject back to the sun .my Camera settings is ISO 100 F No F4 S/S 4000s i need to use fill in Flash to bring their image out .This will be shoot in Manuel . What settings do i used on the Flash so that i do not wash out the image i use a Nikon D3 and a Nikon d750

Thank you so much for sharing the insights. In 3 weeks I’m resigning from my job to study full-time and I now have the confidence I’ll do just fine with my new venture as a freelance photographer.

I’m a hobby photographer shooting with a Nikon D5500. The only site I’ve tried to sell my work on is Shutterstock. Out of ~50 photos uploaded ~20 were approved. Some were rejected for being ‘overprocessed’ when I purposely post processed them for my desired effect. So if you’re a Pink Floyd fan Shutterstock is probably not going to be good for you. Others were rejected for ‘subject is not in focus’. These were vast landscape photographs, where it’s impossible to have everything in perfect focus. Some of these I resubmitted and the new reviewer approved them. This proves inconsistencies in their review process. It just depends on what employee reviews your work and what mood they were in at that time.

Out of the 20 photos that were approved, I have a total of 5 sales over almost 2 years, paid out at $0.25 each. Not counting the time and expenses of going out to take these photos (I don’t count these expenses because I’m not a pro and I was just doing something that I enjoy) I spent 4-5 hours over the course of several days to register, process my photos, upload my material, and resubmit. Now almost 2 years later I have $1.25 from my efforts. Since uploading on Shutterstock, I’ve learned that the older your content gets the lower it goes on search results. Eventually nobody will ever see your work here, unless you keep uploading (current work will only be seen). So much for passive income.
My advice is don’t waste your time with Shutterstock unless you have time and are willing to put energy into constantly uploading, resubmitting, and doing your own marketing, and in the end they will make 10x more than you from your work. If you’re willing to do all that you might as well start your own web site.

Fun fact, making 2.5 sales per year at $0.25 per sale, I will have to wait 2,000 years to make minimum wage for the photos I’ve had accepted at Shutterstock. Oh and you have to hit $75 before you can cash out, so maybe in 100 years I’ll get my $75 if I haven’t been dead for 60 years (which is likely). This is probably what they’re counting on for 95% of their content providers.

Then if I want to cover my field session time and expenses and sales are steady, I’ll be in the black in about 200,000 years. Cheers!

This list is truly awesome, I personally use “Adobe Photoshop” for my work. thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks a lot for the article. I am just a regular user, not a professional photographer so I usually use lightroom presets from my cellphone. They help me to make photos in my instagram feed look alike.

i think PNG format is a good one for photography

Awesome post!

Needed some quick guides for a first time fashion shoot and this article is so helpful. Thanks for the great information!

This is a helpful write-up, Alexandra.

But now I have a question: How much of this advice applies to pages built with Elementor? Maybe that could be the subject of your next report! I sure would like to get some guidance on the ways that Envira could work with Elementor.

Itàs actaully “j” on Luminar as well. If onyl they said that in the documentation.. what documentation…!??

How can you show the burnt areas in Luminar 4?
In LR it’s as easy as pressing “j”, which shows blue for dark areas and red for bright areas.
I cannot find this simple but ESSENTIAL setting anywhere on their website, which is VERY poor in doucmentation!

A dream job just taking photos…
People have become so successful with photographic jobs like this

I simply want to add the words Merry Christmas to a photo, is there a simple way of doing that?

“Now you should click on the layer mask of the Skin layer in the Layers panel. Make sure to select Invert in the the adjustment layer when painting on the layer mask.”

What Skin Layer? What layer mask???

Are we supposed to add a Skin layer?

Oh, I like you before/after photo. I can see there difference and I like it.

Hi, Very useful information – does it make a difference if the photos are taken by a normal, professional or even phone camera? Also, are there any rules/terms regarding the editing/effects of the photos uploaded?

Last questions, which I am sure is very broad, what is the average price of photos taken by phone cameras?

The default WordPress Image Editor is sometimes very laggy. It takes multiple efforts to make any changes. I’m not using it anymore.

Very informative article. I would like to recommend to sell photo item on Shutterstock marketplace as a vendor. It’s a huge marketplace and there has many visitors. In the last 6 months, their visit was over 72 million. Really it is huge. Adobe Stock also good but personally I’m not interested in their marketing policy.

Thank you very much such a great article.

Nice tutorial! I recently discovered emulations from PsdFilm, which includes infrared films, such as Kodak EIR, can you emulate that look?
Thanks

Wow! Amazing Tips , I have my own wedding studio in dallas. The tips you have shared are really informative for me.

My lasso too is still there and the whole picture is still blurred even though I followed the steps one by one

Hi i’m am a 16 year old who loves taking pictures. I keep getting told that i cant be a Photographer unless i go to collage and spend thousands and thousands of money, But i know that that is not true because i can be a Freelance Photographer and still make money and still follow my dreams i am glade that i have found this website because now i have the confidence and courage that i need in order to follow my dreams to be a Freelance Photographer.

Great tutorial, thanks very much

I am enjoying the free version of Envira. But nowhere can I find where to move the previous and next arrows OUTSIDE of the images. And with all the paid featured I see this nowhere mentioned. I am guessing it’s also in the free version, but where oh where..?

This worked for me and saved me a LOT of time. Thank you!

can we get unlisted vimeo support?

Hey
Thanks for sharing this post. Wedding Photography is really very challenging. I am going to use some tricks.

A great article with some wonderful ideas on how a bride and groom should pose for a picture-perfect photograph. I found some great insights reading it and will probably use some of these poses for our next photo shoot.

I loved what you shared, I will combine it with what I am doing to improve my income.
Thank you.

Hi can I add image name under the images?

Great preset post, it must be a hell of a job to create this piece of content. I downloaded some and will check it out.

As a wedding photographer I basically download (or buy) all wedding presets for Lightroom. Thanks to this article I found some new presets to try.

Thanks alot to the person/group who wrote this article you saved me at work .. blessings

Photographer is a most important part of our wedding .
Thanks for share this article .

why the image didnt change when I finished replacing image?
Do it needs more time to change?

I choose “just replace the file”

I have a few alerts about some of these websites for people who are just starting:

AdobeStock – Great site. Pays well. Does not accept editorial content.

Shutterstock – Rarely will you get more than $0.25 for a download.

Alamy – Extremely easy to upload. Good information form to fill out for each photo. The downside is that even after being a collaborator for over a year, I haven’t got one download yet. Even though on many of the other websites, I have multiple downloads. Doesn’t let you create collections.

Crestock – I made an account over 6 months ago and uploaded 9 photos for review. They never got reviewed.

500px – Seems like a good website. The only problem is that the watermark they put on the photos is very small. Anyone that wants their photos for web use, can get it directly from the site without paying. This also happens with Stocksy, which I really wanted to collaborate with, since they payout 50% to the photographers.

Sir, can this be done by CS4?

Your guide is very helpful for me as a
photographer! Thank you! 🙂

I think SPE is the core of successful wedding photography. And, SEP stands for:

Skill, Equipment and Pre-Plan.

You can’t do great without any of those three.

On1 could be really good but a couple of issues are: Going from browse to edit takes up to 5 seconds and I have an Imac with 32gb Ram. The noise reduction in On1 makes very little difference to photographs. I use Nick Def 2 noise reduction in Lightroom but it’s not available as a plugin in ON1. Apart from these issues, I really like On1 and if they fix the speed issues and come up with decent noise reduction software then I’ll ditch my Adobe subscription for good.

When I use my spot healing brush tool it removes a white flake (from a newborn baby’s face) and replaces it with a brown freckle! please help, thanks

I achieved it. Thank you so much. You kept it so simple. step by step n no confusions. Thanks again

If I bulk resize pictures in WP library that are already used in Envira galleries, will the galleries automaticly use the smaller pictures? Or do I need to make the galleries all over again?

okok

Don’t forget morguefile.com, 400,000 free photos, has been around since 2002

I’m new to this and I don’t know how to put a water mark or my name on all my photos, from this Camera?

Waw!!! Thank you for the EASY way to explain everthing step by step SUPER!!!

Nice review,

I have been using on1 photoraw now for some years and I’m always searching for something better.

The problem is, I always end up in PR.

Through work I’ve got a Lightroom licence, and every year I give it a try and (just did it) it doesn’t work for me, somehow the program that I did use for years is really to slow, and the green worms you get with fuji are still there.

Is on1 photoraw perfect.
No, because then I wouldn’t be searching for something better, I’m using affinity photo for noise reduction (if I need to). I don’t like the catalogs that are somewhere on my c drive and eating processing power en disk space.

But for the price, support you get from On1 it’s coming close.

(ps i use it on a windows 10 system)

Awesome article, thanks for sharing I cant believe how many people are amatures & just ‘wing it’! Its taken me so much time to get the courage up to shoot wedding but when I did I did so much research loved the photos.

Thanks for putting it together.

Thanks,
Michael

Can you add a photo of a tattoo to a person on a video?

Hello dear,
Can one build protection against pictures being downloaded or file format that would discourage downloading?

Beautiful ideas. Very nicely explained. Best wishes for the great work.

please how can i use paint bucket tool

It’s a helpful article especially for those who are planning to do photography with the drone in their wedding. Thanks for sharing this article with us.

I really love you guys.. well done

LemonStand is closed as of June 5, 2019. Another business bites the dust.

Thanks

Gracias

I find it totally unethical for any tradesperson or product supplier to demand payment in full for a product that they have not seen.
An advance booking fee is fair enough.
But how can you ask for money in advance for a service or product that doesn’t exist? Payment in full should only be paid for the product if it meets the customers satisfaction.
If the photographer is confident in their product there is no risk to them not being paid.

Image masking/Clipping mask is effective when you have hairy objects like a woolen dress, furry coats, hairy dolls, stray hairs, and so on in an image. It is a useful method of selecting the borders of an image to work on the background. However, Photoshop is an amazing photo editing tool which generates astonishingly beautiful images if done by a professional photo editor. Hand-drawn image masking service is essential for product photography and e-commerce site as the automatic tool cannot ensure 100% perfection.

thank you

Well I want to become a freelance photographer I registered myself on different big freelancing websites but still no much success I gained. Please suggest me more things any expert advice to do things better in the same field.

What it holds me back is lens profile support. I don’t have pro lens. 3 Nikons, 1 Sigma and 1 Tamron. And neither is in Capture One. I also miss map (GPS location). And (as you mentioned) publish plugins (Flickr, Google photo, 500px). I can live without a history panel and face recognition.

Do my photos have to have watermarks on them to keep them mine?

I would like to use the third example as a template but when I googled templates and this example appeared I see there is no button to download it – is it subject to copyright?
It looks like it is available as a template.

What if i lost the code? how can i retrieve it?

Your article is great and useful, if your image is taken in jpg format and wants to convert to png.

This list is VERY helpful! Thanks for putting it together.

I have a few copyright questions. Regarding the images in your blog, they look like screen shots of the sites’ homepages. Do we need permission from the websites if we are to use content like you have above?

And what if I want to create a “Best of Show” or “Last-Minute Gifts” blog. Would I need permission to post photos of the products in my blog? For instance, if I include an iPhone as a gift item, would I need permission from Apple to use a photo of their phone? Or do I simply give credit and specify where I got the photo (e.g., Image: Apple)?

Thanks for any help!

Thank you for sharing this. Very helpful.

This is a great help. I use Adobe Fireworks which works great at cropping & optimizing but it stripes out the all exif data. It can be added back in but there is so much camera data, I’m looking at alternatives.

I’ve sold images through Shutterstock, Twenty20, and Abobe Stock, and tried plenty of other sites including Alamy, EyeM, 123RF and Dreamstime

Alamy are the most picky. What’s more, they literally ban you from uploading for weeks if you upload something they don’t like.

Beware of Dreamstime – you cannot leave! You can delete all your content but they will continue to sell it. Very dubious practises.

Twenty20 and EyeM have, by far, the easiest Model Release methods, and they pay out immediately rather than having to reach a threshold. They also have regular and free missions to encourage you to upload your best on topic images – more sites should do this.

Shutterstock and Abobe – you don’t get much per image, so you have to have sold a lot before they pay out.

123RF – They often don’t review your images for weeks. When you poke them about it, you suddenly find the last 20 were unacceptable. Very slap dash.

In summary, Twenty20 and EyeM are recommended. Shutterstock and Adobe also recommended if you in it for the long game.

My very first wedding was 2 years ago and I was 10 days away from giving birth so I was super comfortable that day. Now this wedding being my first in 2 years I’m glad I found this article to guide me to the right attire.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help.
I have a question.
On my site I installed woocommerce, and for graphic reasons most of the images are transparent png. These images have already been optimized in photoshop and weigh very little even though they are not small in terms of pixels.

My problem is that wordpress or woocommerce reduce these pngs and worsen the resolution, all this also leads to a disproportionate increase in weight.
I load images from 100 / 150kb and with the resizing they weigh 400 / 500kb sometimes even more.

What do you advise me to do?
I thought it would be better to block resizing and compression for png images. So as to display the original images in all the pages of the site, resized only visually with respect to the design of the page.

How can I do this?
Do you have any other advice?

Thank you

I bought the plugin specifically to upload images already. on Dropbox into my media gallery to then use with Feedme plugin in WooCommerce to sell photos.

Everything is set up but no images appear when upload from Dropbox is selected in the Envira add gallery.

My question is – should not plugin not ask to point to a specific folder on Dropbox and if so what is that folder? I had already looked on Dropbox to see if perhaps the API created a folder on Dropbox which it did not.

Does it work to change dpi without resizing the photos? I tried this way and couldn’t do it.

Same issue here. Just bought the pro version, and added the Gallery Themes addon. Seems to have everything else I’m looking for, but don’t see the opacity option.

The gallery I’m testing it on was originally created in the Lite version, so not sure if that could be the issue.

Good day, I am having some problems with the WordPress crunching all my images which really slows down the process of uploading images. Is there any way of removing the Flash Uploader. I have already added the following code to all the function.php files in my Cpanel:

add_filter( ‘flash_uploader’, create_function( ‘$a’, “return null;” ), 1 );

as well as

add_filter( ‘flash_uploader’, create_function( ‘$a’, “return false;” ), 1 );

I have also changed the media settings Image sizes all to 0.

Nothing seems to be working it keeps crunching the images when I upload it.
If anyone can help I will really appreciate it as this is driving me crazy now.

shortpixel working fine foe me

Great list!

I used to try cropping in PhotoWorks before but I always failed to get the right crop. Your tutorial made the things clear to me, thanks.

what file format recroded original date of save.creation? i know it was simple gif tiff or png

My husband and I have been traveling the U.S. for over a year now and I’ve been taking lots of photos of the diverse landscape. One of my favorite subjects is old barns. My question is can I sell photos of someone’s barn without their permission?

Nice tips, thansk! I just wanted to ask what sites can you advice for a young photographer for freelancing?

I tried so very hard to replace Lightroom with ON1 Photo Raw 2019.2, but the software has way too many issues.

The most serious issue is performance. I’ve got a late 2015 model iMac with 3.3 GHz I7 processor, 16 GByte of RAM and a 2TB fusion drive. Lightroom just screams on my computer. ON1 Photo Raw, on the other hand, is extremely slow: it takes about 2 seconds to build a preview, it takes about 1.2 to 2 seconds for a develop adjustment to display. It takes a good 3 seconds when advancing to the next photo in Develop mode till the system is ready. It takes an extremely long time to export photos. I could go on, but you get the idea.

The next issue on the list is Lens Correction. If I import directly from my camera (Nikon D60) to ON1, there is no camera or lens information (either in ON1 or using Mac OS Finder) If I use Adobe Bridge, the camera and lens info is there (in Finder), but ON1 will not apply a Lens Profile. I can pick my Camera and Lens Manually, but it usually distorts the photo and I have to do a manual correction. ON1 says this is a bug in the software.

Smart collections and filters aren’t really very smart. The only option is “equals” and all rules are inclusive. I can’t do anything based on “does not equal” or “begins with” or “is either one or the other.” This makes filtering a real pain.

The next issue is also a real deal killer for me. It may be because my Camera is relatively old and is considered a pro-sumer model. Any (RAW) photos taken at ISO 800 or 1600 are really noisy. The same photos viewed in Apple Photos or Lightroom display little to no noise at all, and what noise is there is easily removed in Lightroom, but not in ON1 Photo Raw. ISO 3200 photos are impossible to clean up in Photo Raw, but clean up relatively easily in Lightroom.

I’ve purchased Photo Raw, but I’m forced to keep using Lightroom, occasionally using PhotoRaw as a Plug-in for special cases. That seems to work OK. Maybe the next update will fix all this, but somehow I doubt it. The impression I have is that the developers are focused on new features, and not usability or stability.

“Glowing” reviews of ON1 Photo Raw give potential users a false impression of this application. Check out the ON1 forums to get the “real” picture.

Very helpful. Thanks

Can you please explain the process to batch resize photos based upon size, not on dimensions, as we have a mix of portrait and landscape photos in a folder.

This helped me alot, i was editing a photo for a friend and for fun to learn photoshop and this helped me out alot. Two thumbs up =)

Amazing and informative tips!!!!!

I love your Gallery. I don’t want all the images from each of the galleries to show on one page, just one of the images from the gallery and then click on the one gallery image and the slide show appears. Is there a way of doing that?

The tutorial itself is useful, but to me, the photo ‘after’ seems to have become overexposed after editing.

It’s true. The market is saturated and people take their own pictures these days. It’s difficult if not impossible to make a living or any money at all selling pictures. Most people will find it more profitable to do any minimum wage job. Unless you have a special niche and are extremely aggressive at marketing.

Nice photography. I like it and thanks for sharing.

Oh, thanks for sharing – I never knew that it was possible to make a business card template in Ps because I use ready-made templates in Business Card Maker software.

Thank you for all the insight.
I have a question pertaining to saved image files. When they are saved with the prefix cross0. followed by a set of numbers .jpg, what does the cross0 mean or stand for?

Take a look at pixels.com or Fine Art America, same company. I’ve been using them for approx 10 yrs. $30 year fee, unlimited photos. You set the fee for each photo. They do everything else. Metal, Canvas, Cups, Sheets, Shower Curtains the list goes on. Little effort to use and it’s free for 30 days.

These are the amazing tips for every Photographer.
Cheers

Can i sell my photos on more then one site?

Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing.

I am new to designing my website. I have 3 photos I wish to place on my home page. I used Imsanity and resized all the photos that I had uploaded to my media section. I placed them on the home page, but they are still different heights. Do I need to take them back into Photoshop and make them the same height before I upload them again?

Hey, thanks for this tip. Sadly I don’t have the business plan, only premium, is there anyway to claim my site with just the Premium? I would totally upgrade but in order to do that it will cost me over $300 and I just don’t have that

I switched from Lightroom 2 years ago and while the learning curve was steep to start with, the speed of capture one wins hands down along with the fantastic raw conversion and there are hundreds of thousands of styles not just a few recipes as you stated.
Along with everything else the colour grading is divine and luminosity masking is fantatsic

when trying to paste the image to alpha channel it won’t let me copy anything in from the filter gallery section? using photoshop in Mac OS

Awesome and helpful tutorial for cut out a complex image in photoshop. Well, discussion and sound good.

Another great place to search is pexels.com and https://imagefinder.co
They both have tons of free stock images to search for.

keep it up, thank you for the tips.

Thank you.

Thanks for the helpful info!

Really helpful thank you!

I just joined Shutterstock and it is very particular. I submitted a photo of a sundog and it was rejected because the sun was out of focus!! Out of 103 submissions, 71 were rejected, some for dumb reasons such as needed to be in english, even tho it is, or the title didn’t match the photo, even tho it does. People in bleachers all need model releases, even if they are wearing sunglasses and are not identifiable. Just be aware if you go here. They said a dog needed a model release!!!

i like it. thanks for this.

sadly, on1 is only free for a few days, then it’s over $100. The INK package is brilliant, however; Google did us a real favor. Thanks to them and you.

Michael

Very Good article. I have learned how to set up a photography site from this article. Thanks for sharing.

Nice article, I’m a fan of natural light. Interesting though, in example 5 I actually preferred the shot which was underexposed, has more ‘depth’ to it (in my humble opinion)? You can go too far to remove tonal contrsts, that’s why I’m not a fand of HDR techniques.

Thanks for the piece. Really loved it but would have found it more helpful if the fabric material was specified

Smashing work with photoshop, perfect!

Do these image optimizing tools strip out IPTC data?

Thanks for the information

Would it straight out be possible for me to utilize Envira Gallery for a knowledge base based on YouTube video answers (my own stuff that I would appreciate present in a knowledge base form)?

Thank you for this article.I love that you said to price for the client you want to attract and is right for your business. Every one has their own persepective of ideal!

A very comprehensive tutorial, I’ll bookmark it.

i busted after the portrait became grainy 😉

I use JPEG optimizer tool, which compress the image better.. when i have png image with transparent background then use the tinypng site.

How to Install Your Free Luminar Presets in LUMINAR 3?
Thanks for answer.

Am really stocked here,I watched a tutorial it states that I should Alt + mouse click, I’ve tried but couldn’t understand it

Beautiful love to join,and get more information.

Lost with brushing

Is there anyone who found the solution? My new site just looked bad due to high compression. Seems like when I upload the image in Media, the compression takes place.

Very much appreciated to get the full package of photo editing tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing with us.

Functionality not available any more it looks like.. Even pro features does not have it listed. Fixed my issue with regenerate thumbnails plugin..

Very helpfull and informative article! Fantastic tips that will help me a lot for my future weddings. Ohh, and how do i love the photo of that boy running down the aisle!!!
very well done, keep up the good work! thank you for sharing!

Daniel

Will this gallery continuously pick up photos that are added later, but added to categories that the gallery is programmed for?

Add Dreamstime to the list, please!

The new themes for photography are absolutely amazing. I’m really liking how the web designers are making them not only beautiful in design, but very lightweight and responsive as well. When I’m on the bus, I love browsing the internet, and seeing so many beautiful photography websites inspires me! You really have a good collection going on here!

Hello I have a problem, I am simply trying to rotate some pictures with this wordpress editor, but for some reason after I do, it changes the file name and the thumbnail for the picture is no longer visible. Any idea what causes this issue?

Plenty of websites are offering money for uploading the images to their website as the pictures which have creativity getting more popularity and money according to that it is decided the price of the photo. Some of the trusted website in which you can trust blindly is Shutterstock as it is most trusted site from my view.

Great article and great selection of apps! Made my work day a whole lot easier today!

I have used PicMonkey for years but now that they upgraded or made changes. I find it very in user friendly. I’m wanting to try something else. Your list was very helpful. Thanks

I like this compilation. You included several smaller but very interesting sites; New Old Stock definitely stands out. I also use these ones:
Death to Stock https://deathtothestockphoto.com – non-stocky photos,
Moose https://photos.icons8.com – matching photos and collages,
Old Book Illustrations https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/

Nice

Great post. Your blog is very nice..

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for this article. I was wondering, where do pictures uploaded on WP ML are stored, what is the limit of how many you can upload, and how you extend the storage?

I would have loved some offline utilities/apps. Online ones come with a lot of limitations for free users and recurring monthly/yearly fees, whereas most applications are a one-time buy and you don’t need to be online the whole time to work with them.

Very good tips, greatly appreciated….

You got my attention when you said that open areas such as parks, countryside, and churchyards are the ideal locations for drone photography. My fiance and I are interested in aerial cinematography for our wedding soon. We’d like to make sure that our wedding video will showcase the beauty of our wedding venue to impress our guests. Since we don’t have the skills for aerial cinematography, we’ll be sure to hire a professional.

Can also avoid plugins altogether and use lightbox background effects–with different before/after images for foreground and background resp–to get a similar effect.

hello, what I would like to do is to create a shortcode over the image displayed in the gallery, as a caption, title or somehow, linking to my product cart through Easy Digital Downloads. Can I do that with the premium plug-in?

So Image with shortcode on it > Check out page from EDD

Thanks

Regards

Amazing list of resources.
However PhotoShelter is too expensive for a photographer whose starting out. The same functionalities are offered by other platforms like Pixpa. I’ve had an e-commerce store for selling prints with Pixpa since almost a year, the sales are not regular but its an excellent source of side income.

encouraging analysis. am a budding photographer

Awesome tutorial. Worked perfect!

Wow i love this torturial thanks

Thank you for this! I’m photographing a friend’s wedding on Saturday and have been stressed about what to wear.

This is Awesome.

I preferred using plugin than a theme for my Knowledgebase. I have been using Helpie Knowledgebase for my Gallery website and I have to say it has very well reduced my support to a great extent.

If the images already have an alt text in the media library, is it possible to have it auto populate this field in the gallery?

What format for people pictures is hardest to edit (to protect our client’s pictures from being doctored) if its downloaded?
Can one build a protection against pictures being downloaded or file format that would discourage downloading?

Thank you. I couldn’t understand why the Crop option was not available, and thanks to this easy article, I realized that I was thinking it backwards. Now it’s clear, cheers.

What’s the point if you launch a website / blog but know you don’t have any people to look at it? Lol

so shooting with 35 f1.4 lens is the way to go or what about 18-105

Thanks for this informative information and amazing product. This Lightroom for portraits are amazing. I Definitely wanna used this amazing gallery and try this.

I think it is very important to ask the budget question up front. If the photographer has a wedding menu that is very helpful. Usually the first thing a client asks is how much do you charge for weddings? And it depends on what the client is looking for and how much they are willing to spend for quality photos. As a photographer I have been asked several times to put together either a book or slide show from a wedding taken by “A Friend” and the photos are terrible. The couple would have been better off with a small budget and a good photographer than a friend with a new camera. Don’t get me wrong friends photos sometimes are great, sometimes. If you want a good album or video hire and pay but don’t over pay either. Your budget should be between $150 – $300 an hour and remember some photographers have an hourly minimum.

What wonderful tips!
Great as always 🙂 Thank you very much!
You are so inspiring. You even added the settings to the edited photos, that’s awesome!

Thankyou this helped lots

Wedding photographs are actually an amazing way to store moments inside a photo and these tips about making them more memorable are great!

This does not work. I do not have the image opacity in config. I purchased the plus theme. I loaded the addons.

Most helpful for a photographer. Thank you!

Can you belong to more than one site?

Loved it.. Thanks!

Great, this can be an additional value using wordpress as knowledge base.

I feel there are many gaps which i can see in the wordpress themes like automation, tracking changes, commenting and integrations.

Hi, do you have any tips to create a more elaborate masonry layout that used diff size images to create a true masonry feeling? I bought your premium option but the layout ends up looking more like a staggered 3-column than a true masonry layout with a few feature images blown up for effect. Can’t seem to get even the basic masonry layout that is provided with the free WordPress gallery. I got your theme for the added functionality and just assumed it would be on par with layout options & not just the ‘theme’ of what the border around the image looks like. If there are no further options do you offer a satisfaction guarantee? Thanks.

Thank you so much enviragallery team for providing us really amazing wedding
photography contract template which turns the client smile while signing these form or some in the above also shows creativity like a photographer or the last online form is also in a great format which gets all the information from the client but needs some creative touches and I am going to place this on my website soon after some modification.

Digital photography in itself is a tough job. Moreover, you need to display them right to help the viewer get the real essence. That is where a theme plays an important role. These themes are amazing for a photography website.

I just spent hours activating a bunch of plugins for author boxes, and every single one of them is a huge box with NO options to reduce the size of the box. And they ALL come with an avatar space. Geez, I just want a simple, no-nonsense widget or whatever that’s big enough only to contain “Author: My Name” and one or two other lines. NOTHING MORE. What is it with all the bells and whistles? This p’s me off. Many of my posts are reviewed by the expert source and I want their name/title in the byline under mine. This means I cannot use a global author box. I also don’t want the text inside the post, as this will mess up the meta in the search results. I can’t believe a simple author box for what I want is so impossible to find.

Thanks so much for this article, it really help me as a freelance photographer.

Great tips since I’m still a newbie and still learning, all I can say is thank you.

Wedding photography is the passion for me because I want to capture every lovely moment of a wedding. Your tips are so valuable. thank you for sharing

Very interesting, I’m also planning to know the secrets of drone photography business and thanks to this article.

Why cut the image out?

Why not just use cloning immediately? the selection process is just for just that, selection for use else where.

What is so special about PhotoShop?

I will just continue to use Paint Shop Pro

Or any good photo editor.

Nice job though

thanks alot, it really helped.

Hey my name is Sifiso
I really like and enjoy teaching pictures of nature and sometimes animals but I’m still an amateur coz I use my phone but I do have good shot

I was looking for something basic right now I just want people to see my pictures on Google when they search.
I’d like to make money out of them but the main thing is just getting them out there

Hello,

Are you able to downlaod multiple images in one go?

I purchased WordPress Pro about 2 weeks ago…Sent two support tickets and did not get a response….What pixel size should the .png watermark file be for uploading via the Watermark Add-On….. I uploaded an 800 X 200 .png watermark file…Selected (images) in a designated Gallery Title Name, Selected apply, after Apply stopped spinning…Selected Update Gallery….Watermark refuses to render the watermarked image(s)

thanks…it was really helpful

It is difficult,use easy method

Is there any way to do this using CSS?

Great article, thanks!

The diversion of photography has really improved a lot these days. Thanks for this very informative guide.

Step by step guide for the success. Thank you for this information

For a beginner in this drone industry this tips are helpful to them. Thank you for sharing this guide to us.

wonderful couple….nice ideas…really stunning..

Hi – I have a tag list at the top of my paginated gallery, but it only shows on page 1 of the gallery. Is it possible to have the tag list appear on each page of the gallery?

Hello Brenda,

Thank you very much for this great list and sharing all this information about the different tools.
Another important aspect in my eyes is, not only to wait for your users to share your posts, but do actively cross-promote your posts across multiple networks and sites. For automatically cross-posting your blog posts on social media take a look at the Blog2Social plugin. It has powerful options for easily sharing your posts across all popular social media networks in one easy step. You can optionally customize your posts for each network and automatically schedule your posts for the best times to share. The plugin is a big time saver for cross-promoting your posts.

I’d love to hear what you think about it.

Kind regards and happy sharing,
Bastian

What is most important to get shallow DOF is the wide aperture of the lens, which is not mentioned in the article

Your statement ‘It will fill the image with the white color, leaving the selection around the face of the model in the image. ‘ is totally unclear. Does ‘It’ mean ‘creating the new layer’? If so, how can creating a new layer will fill the image of another layer with the white color? What do you mean by ‘ leaving the selection around the face of the model’?

Your description works until this step. The rest is not valid.
Please clarify your statement.

Thanks

Is it possible to display one image and when a user clicks on that image, they can scroll through all of that albums iamges

There seems to be an incompatibility between WordPress’ Photon image caching engine and Facebook.

If the go:image meta tag points to your server and the images are served through Photo, that’s where Facebook is incapable of retrieving the images.

Google Plus never has that sort of problem.

In my view, the problem comes from Facebook.

Good article.

I went to Shuttersotck full of hope. I register, confirm my mail, and then ask me for my address which is was kind of weird to me, but I agreed. But then ask me for a picture of my passport or ID,… that was all my relationship with them.

I know they may have many reason to request for that but they also are a private site and a passport or ID are really sensitive information. If I have a PayPal account or any other account for received the payment I think thus should be enough.

The worst part is they ask for a fully detailed picture of the passport not only the name or the age.

Finally what is bother the most is they don’t ask for that data in the first step. You have to register, then give your address and finally when probably most people don’t agree to that ask for your passport picture, when they allready have plenty of info about you. For the ones who agreed to that, hope they don’t request blood type or something like that in the steep 4.

Hi,

Can I use this with a different thumbnail image to what would show as the main image.

I need a solution to have colour swatches that change a main image which will kitchen images to display in the colour of choice, would this be possible?

Thanks

Patrick

I’m curious if it is possible to insert an envira gallery on a page built and edited with Thrive Architect. Right now I am using a Thrive Theme and Thrive Architect, but for the pages on my site where I want a nice gallery of images I am just using the WordPress editor and not Thrive.

Is it possible to have an envira gallery on a Thrive Architect edited page?

This is very insightful, do you recommend any tracker for drones? I’m afraid I might lose it while practicing.

Great article! Creating a portfolio is an essential, as it acts like a gateway to the world and communicates to your potential clients on your behalf. For myself I’ve created on Pixpa, It was easy to make without much coding.
Thanks

Is it possible to resize the image in the Facebook Debug tool? I wanted to use a thumbnail image at 512×512 pixels. The resulting image is much larger than a thumbnail and cuts off. When sharing an image from my post to FB, am I required to use a specific size image? Would rather use a small icon image.

Killer.. Best Sharpening Technique I’ve seen lately! I’ll be using this method from now on.

Nice one bro, keep it up

Is it normal to mount a tracker to the drone?

This looks Interesting for me, using drones for business? Thanks for this post, I am going to consider this one.

I was looking for some simple poses which I can remember for our next photo shoot.
Thanks a bunch!
Kartick.

Thank you for the tips! I am planning to do some aerial photography with my new drone. I’m a newbie with this drone photography so these tips are very helpful to me.

Okay, trying to make sure I understand. Your plugin automatically adjusts the number of columns. I love that. But, if I understand you correctly, I cannot have the image link to an outside page, and I cannot include captions with text links in them. Right? Because that’s what I really want to do.

I’m confused about WHEN wordpress compresses images… Is it during the upload, while in the media library, when it’s inserted to a page, when the page is loaded each time?

I’ve been experimenting with a few “disable image compression” plugins, and none of them seem to have any effect on my image quality. I’m wondering if the plugins have to be enabled before I upload them, insert them into a page or what?

Great stuff! It can really help at the beginning. Like you said, moving around is necessary for good photo, along with patience and little luck! Also, like KISS tip!

I need to rotate an image in one of my galleries on my website, but there is no option to do this?
I click on Envira Gallery on the side of my WordPress page, then click on the gallery with the image in I want to rotate, then I click on the edit icon in the corner of the specific image and the Metadata box opens up, but there is no option to actually edit the image or rotate it? Please could some one advise me on what I need to do, thanks.

Drone license and drone insurance… got it!

These collections are great, thank you! My favorite free sample set is fixthephoto.com/free-photoshop-actions

Would love to read more on this topic.

I am using the Simple Author Box but when i open my articles then it is not showing the social plugin as shown in the above image by you, how can i add that to my website.

This saved me a lot of timetime. Thanks

Hmm good things to consider!

in step 3, if i only add the short code for the gallery, i just see an ugly ‘CONTINUE READING’ button on the main blog page. if i click on this, i see my gallery.
how to make this prettier? any way to see some of the images instead of this blue button?

My photoshop didnt bring the color option when i created a new layer

Can i also use photoshop cs3

What drone can you recommend for aerial drone photography? It’s incredible seeing stunning photos using a drone.

Just make sure you hit invert when painting on the layer mask

I’m a new amateur photographer. I have about 500 shots +/-, maybe less than half are on Facebook. If I wanted to sell those shots would I need to take those down off my board or would I be able to keep them up if someone bought the rights?

can I disable “Enable Media Replace” Plugin permanently after all images have been replaced ?

Theere whould be an editing option to edit the image itself, brightness, contrast etc, because it would be just easier if I could edit the basics of the image to blend in better with each of our website without having to do it externally

Thank you! Perfect tutorial, got it on the second try!

thank you.good article.very helpfull

Thanks for these tips it’s great to see stunning photos of places with bird’s eyes view.

how do you do this inside of an envira gallery?

is there a way to have a video start playing when the viewer hovers the mouse over the thumbnail? I have several 6 to 10 second animated logo videos and I want the user to hover over and see it play without having to use a light box or press the play button.
thanks

I can’t find the filling cup

Great article! Taking photos has always been my hobby and I’m planning to enhance my skills by doing aerial photography. This has been very helpful. Thanks!

I’m having an issue where I have changed the compressions settings to 100% so my thumbnails look sharp while my gallery is still compressed. Is there a way to correct?

We use Envira on the gallery section of our site at https://mailoptin.io and couldn’t be more happy with it.

Great tips you have here! Can you recommend any drone suitable for starters like me?

Great tips you have here! I’ve been planning to do aerial photography and this helped a lot. Thanks! Looking forward for more articles from you.

it would be nice to be able to set lightbox/gallery options for all lightbox/galleries on one page.

I’ve installed Imsanity and the default setting is width 2048 x height 0. This doesn’t sound right. What should the height dimension be? Or does the restive just go on width?

Hi!
Do you know if in base I can add the caption below the image? Because if I change to captioned the program add the X for exit up the image and I don’t want it,
Thank you

What about a logo? A good website or application.

WP About Author works best for my site. Thanks for sharing the list.

I updated to the new album addon yesterday and created 19 new albums with 2 to 4 galleries in each. The improvements in loading speed and display are very impressive. The one problem I have encountered is that captions are not being displayed. I have set the lightbox theme to Captioned with Float position. Captions are an important part of my galleries that give visitor vital information. If I preview the galleries outside of the album the caption appear as expected. I hope you can address this bug soon. Other than that I am thrilled with the much improved lightboxes for albums.

I would like to have much more control over where lightbox captions are placed – for example, I have a customer would would like to have the captions appear to the side of the lightbox images. (This would only apply if the viewer’s screen was large enough. On a moble device, the caption would still have to appear under the image.) And it would be nice to have the CSS selectors for the captions more exposed or documented so that I could style the captions without having to work so hard.

Also, it would be nice to implement the feature where you click on the gallery and go directly to lightbox view, without having to generate a plug-in yourself.

Bill Fishman, webmaster for bradrader.net

I would like to see two customization features for lightbox:

Selective border and border colors around images, with no border or color picker. Width would be nice to, but don’t want to push my luck!

The option to scale down the size of social media share icons. By default they catch the visitor’s eye due to size and vibrant colors before the images themselves.

My friends friend wants me to do pictures for their wedding. I am not a professional and am looking for tips on how to use a canon eos rebel t6i camera with (at the moment I have) lens 18-55 and a 50mm lens. I have two reflective Sheilds and a flash box.

Please help. She knows I’m not a real photographer and that she can’t expect too much from me. But some tips would be amazing. Thanks

This is so helpful! Thank you and God bless you.

Do you have tips when it comes to night aerial photos? I’ve always been stunned by night skyline so hopefully I can capture what I want. I guess I need to have a GPS tracker then, it would be much difficult finding a drone in the dark in case something happens out of hand.

Many things can go wrong in the day, so we need to be well prepared. We must have a backup plan (in case of bad weather), charged batteries, blank memory cards, think about the routes and time to get to the places and get a full day itinerary so we know what will happen in the next moment. If possible, we attend the ceremony rehearsal where a large amount of information is gathered about possible positions to shoot from the lighting, the order of the ceremony, etc.

These tips are very useful especially to people like me who love taking aerial photos. Hope to read more articles from you!

I’m trying to create my second album and it’s been a year since I created the first one. I tried to upload pictures both ways, straight into the Gallery, then into my Media File in WordPress and it only worked to upload them in my Media File even though in Gallery it said they uploaded. But when I checked all of them in my Media File to upload into Gallery, they still didn’t show up in there. In the Gallery Albums, it does show the first picture as a thumbnail for the album file. What am I doing wrong?

I have a site with over 100 galleries. I want to enable lazy load on all of them. Is there a way to do that besides the manual click > config > check box > save for every single gallery?

Nice collection. Thank you for sharing these awesome themes with us. I am a photographer and currently using Phlox for my portfolio. It is fantastic.

I was wondering if you can add multiple galleries to a page with just a featured image as a place card.? and if so, can the place cards then display in a grid rather than one below the other.

Nice one

I really love taking aerial photos and I’m also a new drone user. I’ve experienced an out-of-sight crash landing but thank God I used a GPS tracking device. Thanks for the amazing tips by the way!

Envira, this seems so backwards intuitively. Albums are books we slide our photos into. We all have them. We go to a gallery to view art. You could have an album in a gallery, but not the other way around. What is the reasoning behind this?

Thank you very informative post, I was searching for the right box for my needs and found it here

This method retains the file name I initially saved to, which means when I run the batch it just saves over the same file every time it opens a new one to process. I’ve solved this before, twice, but it’s years between each attempt so I forget how.

Help pls!

I am convinced, thanks!

Hi, do you know if there is a way to compress more some images and don’t compress others?
Like, let’s assume I have this:
add_image_size( ‘etimue2018-cantina-size’, 64, 64, array( ‘right’, ‘bottom’ ) );
and I would like to use something like lazyload, I’ll need 2 versions of this image:
1 with low res for pre-loading and the one with ‘good res’ for loaded image.
With the code you gave us (Thank you by the way) we are able to modify all the images compression, is there a way to do it for only 1 particular size?
Thank you.

Very informative. Keep it up.

very nice lesson!!

I’m intrigued that Photocrati and NextGen Gallery aren’t mentioned here. Was their omission purposeful? Am I behind the times in using them?

Very informative article. I am a new drone user and I want to capture stunning photos. Been playing around, it even almost flew away but glad I had a GPS tracker device. Challenging and fun at the same time.

For my wordpress website, I created a few Envira galleries with image count at an average of 10. Later I placed them beneath posts for display. I mean one gallery for one post, something related to it. But after this effort, page views went drastically down. What could be the reason? Really feeling desp

After selecting the Duplicate layer and clicking on Gaussian blur, it blurs both the original layer and the duplicate layer. So this method isnt working for me. I have photoshop CS6 on mac

I think clipping mask is a powerful technique to remove your unwanted background. Thanks a lot for sharing a nice tutorial.

After merging the layers (layer 1&2).I cannot see my portrait picture. It becomes one background with white colour.what to do

is there a plugin which can resize images from smaller width to larger width?

Hi,

is it necessary as a freelancer to get a license, insurance and contracts starting off as a freelancer?

I want to be able to put some text and a link below each picture. How can I do that?

I don’t see an option for enabling masonry layout on the free version. Is this something that is only available with an upgrade and if so which one?

I love the ability to put galleries inside albums and then put those albums onto a WordPress menu using a Custom Link.

However, I was wondering if there were other ways to display the albums. Can the albums be inserted in Posts and Pages? I’ve been trying to find that information, but I haven’t been able to.

My idea would be to create twenty albums (each one containing galleries) and then display all twenty albums on a single Page. Therefore, there would be a single page that contains links to all the Albums on my site. Is that possible?

Thank you very much.

Doug

I don’t have the “color range” option! maybe i’m doing something wrong?

With this plugin , can I draw on images ?

Hello

When using Envira tags I noticed that when I for exemple choose to show all images with the ‘Acrylic’ tag in a gallery it shiws this type of URL-ending:

/?envira-tag=acrylic

How can I change that in order to just have here /acrylic as an URL-ending for exemple ?

Regards

Julien

I use the just updated free version – after “Automatic Layout: Row Height” comes “Automatic Layout: Gallery Theme” – no margin-options in sight…

I did this but my site is just a normal 3 across grid 🙁

Hello, thanks a ton for these tips, I’ve got my first wedding shoot coming up in mid April and am doing some overall research on anything I’ve missed. What tips would you give to someone who is going in solo? I just recently moved out of state and haven’t found a helper so if things keep up like they are, I will most likely end up having to go in by myself hahaha it’s more of a “if worse comes to worse”, but if you have any tips for such an situation, I’ll gladly listen thank you

Thank you (massive thank you) for such a thorough and easy-to-follow guide. Although you are targeting photographers, it’s one of the best “Optimise for SEO” guides I have seen anywhere.

Loved the article! I’m taking pics of a wedding using my Canon Powershot HS50 camera. I’ve never shot a wedding before. Please give tips using this point and shoot camera.

If I understand well there is no free Envira Gallery , without buying it is impossible to display any portfolio ?

Hi Waseem,
Thanks for the very informative write-up – It is useful not only for the amateurs but equally useful for the professionals.
Regards,
Saayan.

hey.. good plugin but is it free with all these features or i have to buy

Timely information, -thank you!

It is very lengthy method to correct colour ,u don’t have any short trick??

I love everything to do with photography, and so I’ve been thinking about getting a drone. However, I definitely think that it would be tough to shoot good photos at night due to the lack of lighting. Are there any accessories that I could attach to it to better the quality of night pictures?

good tutorial)

I have followed the instructions and cannot make it work. I am using photoshop cc.

Hi Waseem, thanks for the advice! I’m a bit lost because of conflicting info about which code to use to disable image compression and its relevance to the current WordPress version. I understand the advice in this article was written during 2016, which is about 2 years ago, so I’m wondering if the code this article recommends will still work in the current WordPress version.

Also, can you please explain the difference between the code recommended in this post compared with the code versions below?

Thanks so much for any advice you can give!

Code 1
add_filter(‘jpeg_quality’, function($arg){return 100;});

Code 2
add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, create_function( ”, ‘return 100;’ ) );

Code 3
add_filter(‘jpeg_quality’, function($arg){return 100;});
add_filter( ‘wp_editor_set_quality’, function($arg){return 100;} );

Great post! The instructions were very clear! But for some reason when I edit pictures anytime I insert it into my blog post it reverts to the original. So my nicely cropped image reverts to its original unwanted form. Do you have any idea as to why this might be?

Hey Putul, glad you like it. 🙂

Hey Zedd, follow us on Twitter and Facebook for more tutorials. 🙂

You should do a video on YouTube it will be better

The best part of your article is when you talked about how you must consider moving around in taking each shot to make sure that you’ll be able to come up with plenty of work with when editing. My son is interested in photography, and I want to help him in pursuing his passion. Since he’s a beginner, it will totally be great for him if he has a place where he can move around and do some practice shots. This is to make sure that he’ll be able to understand the basics of photography. It’ll be great for him to join a photography tour to practice his skills. Thanks for the tips!

Hey Veldano, thank you for the kind words. 🙂

Does it password protect individual images too? Say if I have the URL of the photo file itself? Coz right now other plugins and WordPress password privacy setting don’t seem to safeguard that

When I click on the photo, the crop icon doesn’t show up!!!!!!!!

This is nice

Does it allow to download the image files to users smartphone or only to laptop and desktop?

Hi : Could we use this tool for “GROW” hover effect? Thank you so much. Sincerely, Kaiser

Very helpful article..thank you for taking the time to write it…l am an advanced amateur photograher with many shots friends are urging me to sell, and now you have a place to start.

I am using image compresion api’s for a while now . Tiny png and cloudinary are the best out there . I dont understand how cludinary did,nt make it to the list. No other vendor can resize and compress image faster and better then cloudinary . Cloudinary is a premium service by the way . But it deserves a look.

What about the place for studio you not mentioned?.

I was unable to figure this out in Photoshop Elements 15

Got inspired by this man! You’re so amazing. The first dance together for me is the best among the rest. It’s very memorable!

Hi I am trying to upload and REPLACE 800 images in my media library. The Media Replace Plugin only allows me to replace one image at a time. Is there a plugin that would allow me to do a bulk image upload and replace?

I have spent the last hour trying to put my photos side by side – these instructions helped, thank you so much!

Thank you very much, its work for me.. great post 😀

Brilliant you saved my sanity , Thanks

what photoshop you used for this editing

It would be great if Envira had the ability to automatically scale gallery pics to a certain size upon upload, so that only those pics got special treatment. As it is right now, I have to scale my pics offline before I upload them, which takes longer.

I see that the method above could be useful, but I would only want that to affect my Envira Gallery images and no others. Don’t think that tool can make the distinction.

The above method is more powerful than using the Image Processor script. In addition to resizing to a fixed size, you could resize multiple images with different aspect ratios to all the same width, for example, or convert all the image’s color scheme, etc.

The Image Processor script is great if ALL you need to do is resize to a fixed WxH, but for more edits to each image, the above system would be needed.

Is this a premium feature? I can’t find the margin setting when the columns are set to automatic. Thanks for the great work!

Nice and awesome tips man! I love capturing photos/ subject. It helps me a lot on what should i do on my next photograph

Hi Waseem,
You are too good, man. I loved your ideas. I am sure your tips will help me to grow my skill.

Imsanity can set size that we upload WordPress media library. is it possible to use this image size automatically

Is there any option to set automatically remote url image size in WordPress post or page? Thanks in advanced.

Good and concise!
Just wanted to add that adding a layer mask instead of deleting gives you a non-destructive workflow

Cheers

Is there a limit to the number of photos that can be uploaded at one time? I imported a test file with a couple of photos and it worked fine. Then I imported the real file with about 2,000 photos, but it uploads quickly with a success message and no photos loaded.

Gah! I don’t understand how to make Layer 1 visible again!! 🙁

Tags do not work with Pagination on multiple pages.

Great updates! We use envira for our customers photo booth galleries but find when we upload them only parts with come up with the chosen watermark, on average we upload 200-350 images per gallery and would be greatful if you could give us some tips on how to use the watermarking function so it actually works 100% of the time.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Always wanted to know how to do that. Thanks a million !

So if I don’t pay and my theme gets updated…say in a year, my Envira Gallery won’t work anymore? And if there’s a new update I won’t be able to get it without paying? My entire website is based on this gallery…I love it obviously just hate the idea of paying for a plugin that I’ve had for so long. I feel that if I’m understanding this correctly it was “given” free just to have people depend on it throughout their website and then once their website was done you are going to basically backcharge them. Please explain I’m sure I am missing something…I hope I am at least…

Thanks for going over some way to get more work as a wedding photographer. I’m glad that you mentioned that it’s important to promote your work on social media channels, and to use some captions and story lines to attract visitors. Definitely sounds like it could be good to maybe test out your posts with another person, especially if it can help you fix anything about it that could make the post better.

Thank you for a great explanation. I was looking online for a similar idea and really appreciate it.

Loved the archived grain filter. I hope to see more free presets around this specific look and feel.

Wonderfully simple tutorial, got me started on the right path! It would perhaps be useful to mention adjusting the transparency of the colourful layer to vary the vibrancy of the colour, but that could be too obvious for most people.

Hi, I’m Jay. I’m a Sydney based photographer specializing in candid wedding photography. My style is also called a photojournalistic or documentary wedding photography.

How do you fix the way Facebook cuts your image when it converts your featured image into a thumbnail. I’ve had my images not look right because the words are cut off because FB chops only the center portion of my image.

This was helpful, thanks!

Hi Waseem,

Each of the points mentioned in the article involves action items too, that is very helpful to emulate in the field, during the actual day of the wedding.

I like the directness of each of the points too. Good stuff, you certainly know what you write about. Look forward to reading more of your writings on the topic. Thanks so much for the effort.

Cheers,
Sara

I’ve been searching high and low for how to do this and this article has been the most helpful. However, does this not work for sites/blogs using photos with captions? I have linked my photos and captions to portfolio pieces on my website, and it’s not allowing me to align side-by-side.

-Brittany

What about leasing space? That’s likely the single largest cost. That and an assistant. Neither of which are mentioned.

I love this.

Hi Waseem, How do I get the layers open? Mine has the temp, tint, exposure, contrast, highlights,shadows, whites, blacks, clarity, vibrance, saturation, open? Regards,

Callie

You compiled a really great list of helpful resources. However, I would like to add a few tips regarding the exposure gaining process. You mentioned using Pinterest and blogging as a great way to promote yourself, but do not forget the power of social media( I know Pinterest falls into this category, but I am talking about some other platforms. Indeed, Pinterest is a great resource, but it doesn’t provide that level of interactivity that some potential clients may need.

Platforms such as Facebook provide the opportunity to spread the content at an incredible speed (they have even some advertising services, so if you have some money to invest, I think it worth the shot).

is the image just embed format in wordpress or after add my image with this way automatic host in my wordpress.
what different with uload in default why, i hope use this way for reduce my hosting usage

Thanks this was very simple and it helped alot

Very nice blog!!!
It is very helpful blog to remove this error. The informaion is very clean and helpful.
So keep sharing

I always thought photographers wore black because white reflects light black asorbes light…..

It helped

Thank you. The picture examples made clear each point made

Great article! tilt shift is not as easy as shooting with an auto focus lens.

Your works are great. It adds more color and the reflection of the photos. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Is it possible to import multiple images at once without selecting each single image from within a dropbox folder?

I wonder if Envira can also link images from external resources (like Dropbox, FTP, Google Photos etc.) rather than import them into the Library. This could save storage on the wordpress installation and help to prevent duplicate data 🙂

Of course the source-URLs of the images should be publicly accessible or at least provide a link that only Envira-Plugin would be able to use.

This would enhance the whole process of managing images, public-galleries and client-galleries enormously.

Is this possible with the Pro-Version of Envira?

We had a lot of trouble with the last SEO company, been reading up on it myself and next
time we are probably going to employ temp staff to have a go
Added a share on my Facebook, hope you dont mind

This post seems a bit misleading. It gives instructions that do not exist unless you go pro (which you only find out about if you read through the comments).

Was this function available for free before? If so, why have you taken it out? Is it available on an older free version? If so, where can we download an older free version?

Tomorrow I am doing my first wedding photography and this is really helpful! Thanks

do the 2 mb file size limit applies while transfering files from google drive…..Please reply

Thank you for this! It was so helpful!

Sorry I am confused reading this post — I just switched from Nexgen to Envira. I am following the docs and the Envira slideshows are not working. Now I read about Soliloquy here on the Envira website? What’s the current status, isn’t the Soliloquy functionality already in Envira? I bought the $99 version of Envira. Thanks.

Usually I do testing on a testbed but I made the mistake of trying to go live with this and am running into snags. I do have the proper settings on the slideshow, per the docs.

How can I keep my uploaded photos synced with changes I make in LR? Image adjustments sync when I re-publish, but not keywords, titles, or captions. More strange, when I do a caption or keyword change in LR to an already-published image and then re-publish, my WP dashboard shows the change to the file in the media folder, but NOT in the relevant gallery – which shows an “x” in the image edit box instead of the image and still retains the metadata fields from the preceding upload.

Ah. Barbi told me about the Insanity plugin to set a maximum width and height for uploaded images. Our clients will upload unedited images that are 3000+ pixels or more because they don’t understand image dimensions. I’m going to give his plugin a try. WordPress should add this feature right out of the box.

Thanks, that was super helpful!

Hi – I built my site on a staging version with envira pro and then when it was moved to the public url, the images disappeared from the galleries. The Fix button does not solve this. The galleries are still listed in the Envira tab and they have shortcode numbers and the pictures are there in the media library – just not in the galleries.

For me what works best on mac is a combination of Jpegmini and optimimage.
I usually do it 2-3 times each for the same photo until I get what I want.

Hi Sara, I’m glad you like this post. Experiences shared in this guide are based on research and discussion with multiple photographers who implemented these steps and got positive results. Do let us know your experiences after implementation. 🙂

Waseem,
Thanks for writing an Excellent Guide! Loved it
I was researching on wedding photography when I stumble upon your post! Glad that it happen.
I work at Sai Digital – we too are in the Wedding Photography Business in UK. Good to know that we have done all the 5 Steps and are currently on the 6 Steps.
Anyways, I am going to share this guide with on twitter!
Thanks again!

Hi Waseem,

Is it possible – with Lightroom addon – to import some or all tags from Lightroom and use them in Envira envirovment ?

Best
Tomasz

Does this mean that the Facebook sharing plugin simply won’t work properly for my visitors? I am having this problem now, where when anyone clicks the facebook icon on an image, it shares the wrong image. The solutions presented here appear only to work if I want to manually fix the post that I make. How can I fix it so that it will work properly for my visitors?

Great post, you did really well for the learners like us. Thanks for sharing!

Bought this product purely with the expectation that this would also allow a “Like” button versus the “Share” capability. Doesn’t seem to have this. How can I achieve this?
