Changelog

When a gallery has a client, typing the client’s email is no longer enough to open it. Your client taps the link in the gallery email, or types their email and gets a six-digit code to enter. Each phone or computer stays signed in, so they only do this once per device. Clients who were already signed in will be asked once, the next time they open the gallery.

Family and friends can still see the gallery, but they need to be on its list. Your client can invite people from the gallery, and you can add or remove people in the gallery’s Client settings. Everyone who had already opened a gallery is on its list, so nobody is locked out today. A gallery without a client works as before: anyone with the link and access code can open it.

You can now change or remove the client after you publish. The old client and the people they invited are signed out, the gallery gets a new access code, and the new client gets it by email. Their comments stay, and nothing they bought is removed.

The cover loads first, each photo shows its own colour while it loads, and in full screen the next photo is already waiting when your client taps next. Big galleries scroll smoothly from the first photo to the last.

After you upload, photos and films finish processing faster, including iPhone photos and watermarked galleries.

Type what you are looking for, like “cover” or “access code”, in the search at the top of a gallery’s controls, or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows). Gallorie opens the right setting for you.

When most of your recent published galleries use the same template, a new gallery offers it first, with the colours you used last. You can still pick any other template.

When you publish, Gallorie may suggest a stronger cover photo or a clearer accent colour. Each one is a single tap, and you can undo it. Nothing stops you from publishing.

When your client taps Download all, the download starts at once, however big the gallery is. There is no more waiting for an email. If the connection drops, their browser can pick up where it stopped. They can still ask for the link by email, for example to download on a computer later.

When you move to a higher plan, you now pay the difference straight away instead of on your next bill. When you move to a lower plan, the difference becomes credit on your account straight away. If your card is declined, your plan stays as it was and Gallorie tells you, with a link to update your card.

Open Gallorie in your phone’s browser and it now fits the screen. The bar at the bottom takes you to Overview, Galleries, Upload, Feedback and Portfolio. Tap your initial at the top for Clients, Team, Analytics and Settings, and the bell for Updates.

Start a gallery, add photos from your camera roll and publish it. Once it is live, share the link from your phone’s share menu, straight to WhatsApp or anywhere else.

Feedback lists each client’s conversation. Open one to see their picks and comments next to the photo, reply, and mark it resolved.

The theme editor and the website editor work best on a bigger screen. On your phone you can open them anyway, or email yourself a link and carry on at your computer. The Gallorie app for iPhone and Android is on its way: tick “Tell me when the Gallorie app is out” in Settings, under Account, and we will send you one email when it is ready.

If you have not sent a gallery yet, drop your photos on Overview. Gallorie makes the gallery while they upload, names it with today’s date, picks a cover and keeps your photos in the order you shot them. You can rename it any time.

You no longer have to add a client before you publish. Publish, then send the link yourself, on WhatsApp, by email or anywhere else. If you do add a client, they still get the gallery by email.

An access code is a short code your client types to open the gallery. New galleries get a six-digit code, and you can see it, copy it or change it when you publish. Your client sees the words “Access code”, and the email they get includes it. You can still make a gallery open to anyone with the link.

When you publish, Gallorie shows the link, the access code and a short message you can copy and paste to your client in one go.

A showcase is a link of your best photos that you can send to anyone who asks to see your work. After you publish, choose “Make a showcase from these photos”. Gallorie picks five photos to start, and you can change them.

A small guide in the sidebar shows your next step: upload, check your gallery, publish, send the link. Open it any time from Help, or hide it for good.

Masthead sets your title large across the cover, like the front page of a newspaper, with one photograph beside it. Next to the title, a short column shows the date, the number of photographs and the number of chapters. A chapter is one part of the day, like the nikah or the reception. Each chapter opens with its number, its name and a strip of its first photographs. On your website, Masthead lists your couples as a clean index: the number, the names, the year and the kind of shoot.

Layer opens on your names beside one tall portrait. As your client scrolls, the portrait and the names move at different speeds. The rest of the day follows in a mix of large and small photographs, with the title in a light, thin typeface.

Atrium opens on one photograph from edge to edge, then shows the day in calm, even rows. On your website, your collections hang like pictures on a wall, in large and small frames side by side.

Galleries used to be black or white. You can now pick a background colour from forty choices: soft blacks, deep tones, paper whites and calm mid tones. You can also pick a colour pair, which is a background with a matching accent colour. Move your mouse over a colour to see it on your gallery before you choose it. If you do not choose a colour, your gallery looks exactly as it does today.

You can now change the colours, the template and the cover of a gallery on any plan, and save as you go. The plan check happens only when the look goes live. Changes to a gallery that is already live now wait for you. When you are happy, press Update live and your client sees the new look. Until then, your client sees the gallery as it was. If a look needs a paid plan, Gallorie tells you when you publish, and you can upgrade or publish with the template instead.

Dusk now has soft bands of light that drift slowly over the cover, tinted with the colours of your own photographs. If you have already sent a gallery that uses Dusk, it gets the new look too. A client who has turned off motion on their phone sees a still cover instead.

Matinee is a new template for your galleries and your website. The cover shows your photos one after another, like the opening titles of a film, and then the gallery begins. The headings and the grid are set up to match. Choose it the same way you choose any other template.

A cover is the first screen your client sees. Sequence shows six to eight photos one after another, then hands over to the gallery. Stage passes two to four photos behind your title. Layered moves your title and your photo at different speeds, so the cover looks deep. Film scrub plays your cover clip as your client scrolls, and Play opens the whole film. A client who has turned off motion on their phone sees a still cover instead.

The top of your website can now use the Stage cover, with your studio name held in place while the photos pass behind it. There is also a new page template called Screening that goes with it.

The collections section of your website has a new look. Instead of tiles, your collections can show as a fanned stack of photo cards, each with its name and how many photos it holds. It works when you have two to five collections. Choose it in the section’s settings.

If you are in Malaysia, nothing changes. You see and pay in Malaysian ringgit, as before. If you are anywhere else, gallorie.com and your Plan & billing page now show prices in US dollars, and that is the currency you pay in.

Once you subscribe, you keep paying in the same currency. That stays true if you later work from another country, and if you change plan.

Our terms of service now say which currency you pay in. Nothing else in them has changed. The next time you open Gallorie you will see a short note asking you to read the terms and accept them. Your galleries keep working as normal.

The app you work in has been redrawn. The background is a soft dark grey instead of black, and the bars, menus and panels now sit on a frosted glass layer that your photos show through. The idea is simple. Your photos should be the brightest thing on the screen, and everything else should stay quiet. Your clients’ galleries have not changed. What a client opens today looks exactly like what they opened yesterday.

The gallery workspace is the screen where you upload photos, set the cover and handle your client’s picks. It now fits a phone screen. The tabs at the top become icons, the controls slide in from the side when you need them, and the photos take the full width. You can check a gallery between shoots without opening your laptop.

Selections and feedback used to be four separate lists: favourites, picks, comments, and the note a client leaves with a selection. They are now one inbox. Each gallery is one conversation, newest first, so you read everything a client told you in the order they said it. When a client sends you their picks, the picks appear inside that conversation instead of in a list of their own.

Your website used to be published one page at a time, so it was easy to change something and forget to publish that page. Publish now covers every page of your site in one press. If your plan does not include a page you are trying to publish, Gallorie tells you and shows what the next plan adds.

The two used to be laid out differently. Now they are the same. One bar floats at the top with your page list, your view options, Copy link and Publish. The controls for the page you are editing live in a drawer you pull over the page, so the page itself gets the full width. It works on a phone as well.

The Analytics page now lists your galleries the way the Galleries page does, with each gallery’s cover photo next to its numbers. Every row carries a small line showing how views moved over the last fourteen days, so you can quickly see which galleries your clients are still opening.

Settings is now a stack of cards, one for each part of it, and each card has its own Save. You can change your studio name without touching anything else, and you can see which section you have edited and not yet saved.

Opening a page no longer waits for Gallorie to check who you are first, so pages appear sooner. While a page is loading you now see an outline of what is coming, under the real page title, instead of a blank screen.

A crop is what happens when a photo is shown in a shape that does not match it, like a wide cover or a square tile. Until now Gallorie cropped from the middle, so a face near the top could be cut off. Open a gallery, go to Photos, and choose Position on any photo. Drag the point onto the subject. The cover, the section headers, the grid tiles, your website and the link preview all keep that point in view. Photos you do not mark stay exactly as they are.

Montage, Dusk, Runway, Chronicle, Ceremony and Couple. Each one pairs a cover frame with a section header style, so the gallery feels designed from the first screen to the last set. Pick one in the Templates panel. The matching look for your website comes with it, and the template preview now shows the gallery and the website side by side.

Seventeen of the templates you already know now open on one of the new cover frames and a drawn section header. A gallery on one of these templates shows the new opening the next time a client opens it, unless you chose your own cover frame or header for that gallery. Your motion settings do not change.

Video is now one of the cover frames. Pick a short clip from one of your films, or upload one, and it plays silently at the top of the gallery. Clients on slow connections, or who asked their phone for less motion, see the first frame as a still instead. If a clip is too heavy to load quickly, Gallorie tells you why and what to change.

A feature pair (two photos, each with a line of text), a package table, process steps, a call to action band (one line and one button asking visitors to get in touch), and a map of where you shoot. There are now eight page templates to start from instead of three. Pages fade into each other when a visitor moves between them, and you can round the corners of every image or button on the site and lift them off the page.

If you have verified your business, the map on your website already marks your home state, and the contact section shows your business phone number. There is a new optional phone field on the verification form for this.

Pace sets how fast things move, on galleries and on your website. Title shade sets how dark the tint behind the cover title is, so the title stays readable over a bright photo. Motion ceiling caps how much movement a gallery can have, whatever else is set. The motion cards in the panel now show their own motion.

In the Majlis template, each chapter now gets its colours from the photos inside it, kept close to the colours of the whole gallery so the chapters still feel like one book. A chapter whose photos do not agree on a colour keeps the gallery colours.

A set is a group of photos you name yourself. You can now give a set a short second line, like a place or a date. It appears under the set name on the chapter cover in Majlis and in the passage header style.

A set is a group of photos you name yourself, like akad, majlis or resepsi. In the Majlis template every set becomes a chapter. Each chapter opens with its own page showing the name and how many photos are in it, and the colours change as your client moves from one chapter to the next. A small index stays on screen, so your client can jump straight to any chapter instead of scrolling past the rest. Pick Majlis in the Templates panel of any gallery.

A section header is the title that opens each set of photos in a gallery. Until now, each template had one fixed style. You can now choose from six: a thin line, a wide photo band, a short passage of text, a large number, a pair of photos, or a small label. Open a gallery, go to Design, and pick one under Headers. If you change nothing, your galleries keep the style they have today.

When a section header uses a photo, Gallorie now picks one that fits the shape of the space and shows all of it. Faces are no longer cut off at the top or the sides.

Choosing several hundred photos at once used to stop with an error before the upload even started. That is fixed. You can now choose up to 10,000 photos in a single upload.

Many phones turn emails dark on their own. Ours came out hard to read when that happened, with grey text on a grey background. Every email we send to you and to your clients now looks the same, whether the phone is set to light or dark.

A cover frame is the layout of the first screen of your gallery. There are seven new ones: stack, pair, triptych, curtain, wash, marquee and handoff. Open a gallery, go to Design, and pick the frame you like for that gallery.

The top section of your portfolio website can use the same cover frames. Your website and your galleries will look like they belong together.

Each theme now suggests a font pairing that fits it. Pick one, and every part of the gallery uses it.

Galleries and websites now use the phone’s own scrolling. Pages load faster and feel smoother when clients swipe through photos.

In the gallery workspace, the preview now shows the whole gallery exactly as your client will see it, before you publish.

This page lists every update. There is also a What’s new page inside the studio. If you own a studio, you get an email each time something new goes live. Every email has a link at the bottom to stop them.

Verification used to ask every studio for a business registration (SSM) number. If you are a freelancer without a registered business, you can now type your NRIC number instead. It is used only to verify you, and it is never shown to your clients or on your website.

When a client taps a photo on their phone, it now fills the whole screen. The close, previous and next buttons stay in reach.

By default, a new gallery simply delivers the photos. If you want your client to choose photos for editing or for an album, turn on selection in the Proofing page.

Go to Settings and choose a name for your studio. Every new link you send will start with it, for example yourstudio.gallorie.com. Links you sent before this still work.

If you already have a domain like yourstudio.com, connect it in Settings. Your galleries and your website will open on it. The gallorie.com address keeps working too.

Choose your best photos and get one link you can send anywhere, like WhatsApp or Instagram. It works as a small portfolio, even if you do not have a website yet.

Pick a template and Gallorie fills it with your own photos. Everything sits on one page, and the menu jumps to each section.

Add a services section, an About page, and a Contact page with an enquiry form. New enquiries appear in your Enquiries inbox in the studio.
