Collections are a great way to further organize a Gallery of photos, allowing visitors to quickly see specific collections of photos, from the larger Gallery of photos. A Collection would be helpful for photoshoots that are broken up into multiple sessions, parts, or 'looks' – weddings are a great example of this. After uploading the photos that were taken at a full day wedding photoshoot, you can create different Collections for each part of the day: Getting Ready, Ceremony, Reception, etc.
This will allow clients, and you, a quick way to view certain Collections of photos in the Gallery.
Creating a New Collection
- To create a new Collection in a Gallery, go to the Galleries area
of your account and select the Gallery.
- With that Gallery open, click on the More button in the top right-hand corner.
- Choose Collections from the dropdown menu.
- Click on +New Collection, and type in the title of the Collection. Repeat this last step to create multiple Collections.
Adding Photos to a Collection
- To add photos to a Collection, select each photo you'd like to add.
- Then click on the Add to Collection button
in the bottom center area of the page.
- Choose which Collection you'd like to add these photos to. You can also create a new Collection from here, if needed.
Note: Individual photos can only be added to one Collection at a time. If you would like to have the same photo present in multiple Collections, you'll need to upload multiple versions of that same photo to the Gallery.
