What's different about the Photo Director Pro™ system when compared to popular sites such as Flickr and Ofoto?
Flickr, Ofoto and all the others are amateur sites for amateur photographers and they're not designed for you to conduct business online.
Photo Director Pro™ on the other hand, has been extensively designed JUST for professional photographers and encompasses all of the things pros need to manage, arrange, store and sell their work on line.

Do I retain copyright over my images?
Absolutely. They are your images and you don't upload originals to our system. We can add a copyright watermark to your images or you can when you're preparing images for uploading
We have gone to considerable lengths to protect the images on your future website, but a clever computer savvy person can get around ALL CURRENT systems available on the Internet. For that reason, we recommend a watermark which while unattractive, will prevent images from being used by illegal and unauthorised printing.

I don't shoot digital so can I still use a Photo Director Pro™ website? More
Our system relies on uploading jpg images. If you're shooting with film then this means that all images have to be scanned prior to uploading, so it's not practically viable.
However, if you already shoot digital we recommend setting your camera up to shoot one RAW and one small jpg per shot.

Do we have a money back guarantee?

What do we mean when we call Photo Director Pro™ a "Hosted System"?
A hosted system is part of the new wave in computer software solutions. Sometimes known as SAAS (Software As A service) it means you rent and not buy, which does away with large capital outlays, frequent upgrades and incompatibilities. The system is totally web accessed and secured using IBM and Sun's J2EE security system. J2EE security is used by many of the world's largest online E-Commerce systems such as Amazon and others of that size. More?

Can I bulk upload images to this website?
No. Because the Photo Director Pro™ system catalogues your images in a large database they have to be uploaded and processed by our system individually. In order for customers to sort, find, store and prioritize images on your website, the system must be controlled by a database where every image is identified and stored. We find that this doesn't take long and can be carried out by a junior or teenager. Photographers with good ADSL or cable Internet bandwidth find that they can upload the contents of well prepared jpgs from a filled 4GB CF Card in about 20-30 minutes. We repeat, once shown, an unskilled person or junior can do this with ease.

How long are my images left on my website for re-ordering?
As long as you are still subscribing to the system, your images are left on the system to enable re-orders by your clients for one year from loading - unless you choose to remove them earlier. It's totally up to you.
