PICR

PICR

PICR turns folders on your server or NAS into branded photo and video galleries. Your originals stay in your own storage; PICR indexes them, creates previews, and gives each client a purpose-built gallery instead of a generic shared drive.

A typical PICR workflow

Section titled “A typical PICR workflow”
  1. Export a shoot into a folder inside your mounted media library.
  2. Let PICR detect it, or scan the folder manually.
  3. Add a client-facing title, branding, and a gallery image.
  4. Create a public link for that recipient.
  5. Receive a notification when the link is opened.
  6. Collect comments, ratings, or approvals, then deliver the finished files.

Because the media library remains an ordinary filesystem, you can keep using Lightroom, a NAS share, synchronisation software, or your existing archive process alongside PICR.
