This project is to write a suite of automated tools geared for a photographer doing business primarily on the web.
The process:
Photographer takes digital photos in studio (or on location)
Photographer downloads photographs to hard disk
Software then helps to automate the following steps:
Organize photos
Create web proof thumbnail sheet which is FTP'd to server for customer review. Proof sheet form is created from criteria specified by the photographer - how many photos customer is allowed to pick, customer name, date, etc.
Proof sheet generated by software is a web form with "approve" check box under each thumbnail, which will only allow customer to select the number specified by photographer from the software suite. Customer puts a check under each approved photo and clicks 'submit' button (form should have notes field also to give feedback to photographer regarding specific photos).
Form is submitted by via remote web/email server back to photographer, complete with list of approved proofs and notes regarding specific photos.
Customer is given a confirmation screen once form is submitted.
Basically, the software suite is geared to allow the photographer to quickly provide a web proof sheet to the customer with minimal effort. Software should contain basic tools for rotating images before proof sheet is generated, etc. There should also be some form customization options for when the web proof form sheet is generated - customizing checkbox items under each photo.
Also in the suite will include a Photo CD creation tool for creating an organized CD for the customers who purchase the CD of original full resolution photos. The final CD will include an [login to view URL] file to bring up a splash screen giving the customer the option of viewing a slide show or browsing the CD.
These are the main items for the software capability.
