Album Photo Selection, without the spreadsheet
A dedicated selection screen with checkbox, shift-click and drag-marquee — then one action that sends exactly what you chose.
The album conversation is usually a spreadsheet of filenames or a thread of screenshots. Both lose track of which frame was actually meant, and both put the fiddly part on whoever is least equipped to do it.
Selection gets its own screen instead, built like a file manager rather than a photo viewer: click to pick, shift-click for a run, or drag a marquee across a block of frames. The count follows you. When you send, the photographer receives the real photos, grouped by who chose them, so two people can each send their own set without either being overwritten.
How it works
- 1
Open the selection screen
A separate screen from the delivery gallery, laid out for picking rather than for viewing.
- 2
Pick with whatever gesture suits
Per-photo checkbox, Ctrl/Cmd or Shift click, or a drag marquee that auto-scrolls at the edges.
- 3
Send
"Send to photographer" sends your selection; "Send whole album" sends everything if that is genuinely the answer.
- 4
Revise any time
Reopen and send again — the photographer sees your current selection, not a pile of old ones.

Questions
- Can guests make selections?
- Not today. The screen is limited to the event's owner, its editors and admins — a guest opening it gets a permission error. If you want a family member to choose, add them to the event as an editor.
- Two of us selected different photos. Whose wins?
- Both. Selections are stored per person and the photographer sees them grouped by who sent them, so nobody's picks quietly replace anybody else's.
- Can I change my mind after sending?
- Yes. Reopen the screen, adjust, and send again — what the photographer sees is your current selection.
- Is there a target count for the album?
- No. The screen shows how many you have chosen and leaves the target to you and your photographer — it does not enforce a page count.
