Boudoir Proofing Workflow: Favorites, Retouching, Finals (Privacy-First)

Boudoir proofing requires explicit choices about access, screenshots, watermarks, favorites, downloads, and retention.

Write those choices into the studio checklist and the client delivery note.

Ask who may open the proofing gallery, then choose a studio PIN or invite when access must be restricted.

The optional shared password belongs to Framekeep's separate anonymous, view-only flow. A valid password, PIN, or invite can be forwarded, and an authorized viewer can capture the screen.

• Configure PIN or invite access for client-only delivery when that matches the recorded consent choice.
• Expiring invite links you can revoke.
• Proofing-gallery downloads disabled; favorites enabled.
• Optional subtle watermarking on proofs only.

Test favorites on the devices the studio supports and explain any viewer-identity step.

Tell clients to favorite their selected images and notify the studio when the list is complete.

• One clear instruction: “Favorite what you love.”
• A visible favorites deadline to keep production calm.
• A single reminder before the deadline (not a drip campaign).
• A lightweight way for clients to ask questions privately.

Define what retouching is included, what costs extra, and what happens if the client changes favorites after retouching begins.

Keep the process respectful and simple: confirm favorites, confirm package, then retouch. If clients can change selections, make that a formal step with a deadline.

Mark intended delivery files Final and label the proof-to-final transition clearly. Final status is the per-asset download boundary; proofs remain unavailable for download.

Enable final-only downloads only after the intended deliverables are published and marked Final. Mark later purchases Final when they are ready for delivery.

• Finals delivered in a dedicated download set.
• The delivery gallery contains only intended downloadable files before final-only downloads are enabled.
• Clear naming conventions that match your brand.
• Optional partner access enabled only if the client requests it.

Tell clients how long proof invites remain valid, when the studio plans to delete galleries, and what to do if access is needed later.

Studio galleries archive automatically after 14 days. Invite expiry, invite revocation, restoration, and permanent deletion are separate actions.

• Choose proof-invite expiry from the studio's selection schedule.
• Keep finals available per your policy, then archive.
• Offer a reactivation option if it fits your business model.
• Document the policy in your prep guide and in the gallery message.
