As photographers, we know the importance of delivering a flawless final product that wows our clients. Album proofing is a big part of this process—it’s where the magic meets the practical. But let’s be real: the last thing we need is a proofing system that makes our lives harder or complicates things for our clients.
That’s why we’re excited to announce support for page uploads!
Why This Matters
Traditionally, Banti focused on spread uploads, which worked perfectly for many photographers using design software like Photoshop or InDesign. However, not all photographers use the same tools. For example, Lightroom Classic, a popular choice for photo editing, only exports album designs as individual pages. This left photographers who preferred page exports jumping through hoops to fit their designs into a spread-only proofing system.
With the latest update, Banti now supports both spreads and pages, making it one of the most flexible online album proofing systems available.
The Case for Flexibility
Photographers are a diverse group, and we all have unique workflows. Some swear by spreads for their cinematic storytelling vibe, while others prefer the granular control of designing by page. The key is having the choice. A flexible proofing system:
Adapts to Your Workflow: Whether you're a page-perfectionist or a spread storyteller, your proofing tool should work for you, not against you.
Simplifies the Client Experience: Clients shouldn’t have to understand the difference between a page and a spread—they just want an easy way to give feedback and approve designs.
Saves Time and Reduces Errors: A flexible system eliminates workarounds like stitching pages into spreads (or vice versa), freeing up time to focus on your craft.
Making Proofing Easy for Everyone
We believe that proofing shouldn’t be a headache. It should be as smooth as possible, for both photographers and their customers. Banti’s intuitive design means your clients can review, comment, and approve designs without confusion. And with the new page-upload support, photographers using tools like Lightroom Classic can finally enjoy seamless proofing without extra steps.
Wrapping Up
At Banti, we’re all about making life easier for photographers. Supporting both spreads and pages is just another step in creating a proofing system that’s not only functional but enjoyable to use.
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to try—or revisit—Banti, now’s the perfect time. Give it a go, and see how flexible proofing can transform your workflow.
