...working every day on the AfterShutter release!...

Version history:

v1.9.3
  • Small addition: added a setting so that the photographer's gallery summary page can load more quickly for photographers with many galleries and lots of images.
  • Error checking: added some error checking so that photographers can't create galleries with characters that may interefere with his/her web server.

    v1.9.0
  • EZPhotoSales (now AfterShutter) is now completely FTP-FREE!
    You can still use your favorite FTP tool to upload galleries, pricing files, etc, but YOU DON'T HAVE TO if you don't want to!
  • There is a new "Gallery Editing" area where you can create a new gallery, change a gallery's name, change a gallery's password, and change a gallery's pricing set all in one step.
  • A "View Slideshow" icon option has been added as well. If you have created a slideshow for a client (using your own software like ShowIt or ProShow), you can enter the URL of the slideshow in the "Gallery Editing" page for that gallery, and the "View Slideshow" icon will appear in their gallery. When clicked, that button will open a new window with the client's slideshow that you have created.
  • EZPhotoSales (now AfterShutter) can add BLACK & WHITE previews
  • There is a new "Pricing Editing" area where you can edit and create all of your pricing without using text files & FTP as in the past.
  • Additional security has been added to the gallery directory structure.
  • You can now add a border around your gallery images. This is especially helpful for "high key" images inside a gallery with a white page background.
  • A "visits" counter has been added for every gallery.

    v1.8.2:
  • The "Continue Shopping" button inside the PayPal shopping cart will take customers back to the gallery they were viewing when they added an item to their shopping cart.
  • Inside the shopping cart, an image's gallery name will be displayed in the "Options" section so the photographer will see from which gallery an order came. This is optional and can be turned off in the configuration page.
  • Upon logging into the configuration page, photographers will be notified if an EZPhotoSales (now AfterShutter) update is available.
  • When pricing menus are down the side, the main gallery image is now at the top of the gallery area instead of vertically centered with the pricing menus.

    v1.8.1:
  • Navigation arrows are now included so viewers can easily browse through images. These arrows can be turned ON and OFF in the configuration page.
  • The thumbnail border is now configurable. You can set the border thickness, initial border color, the rollover (hover) color, and the visited color. These settings will function correctly in the Safari browser, as well as IE and Firefox.
  • The "view cart" button has been moved to a spot directly underneath the header alongside the navigation arrows and the sub-gallery menu (for galleries that are split into sub-galleries).
  • For Internet Explorer users: Implemented a fix that removes the gray flash object border around Flash movies (a new "feature" of IE that nobody appreciates) for photographers with Flash intros.

    v1.7.4:
  • the "+123" system of disabling menus will function inside the Safari browser
  • alt menu sets can now be used even with passwords turned off
    you will still need to set a password for EZPhotoSales (now AfterShutter) to recognize the alt menu set for a gallery,
    but you can set the passwords to OFF and still have a gallery display an alt menu set.
  • improved configuration page with more descriptive info popups

    v1.7.3:
  • configurable "Enter Gallery" text
  • version number is displayed on configuration entry page

    v1.7.2:
  • security fixes to protect galleries' passwords

    v1.7.1:
  • security fix to protect gallery access -- bug fix for a side-effect of the sub-galleries

    v1.7.0:
  • new "Sub-galleries" so large galleries can be split into smaller sub-galleries

    Oct 2005-March 2006 v1.0 - 1.6.5: EZPhotoSales (now AfterShutter) undergoes constant
    improvement and refinement.

    October, 2005 EZPhotoSales (now AfterShutter) v1.0 was released after much anticipation!

    August, 2005 A team of photographers and web developers began working together to create an easy way to utilize the power of Photoshop's built-in web gallery generator to create online gallery sales hosted on a photographer's own website. Web-savvy pro photographers provide the eye for design and client desires, and career programmers bring in the technical skill to bring that to reality in php code.
