Hack Photo

For the past few months I’ve been working on an online proofing and ordering system for my web site. Now that it’s at a nearly completed state I’ve decided to share it as either a free Lite version or a commercial Pro version. The only current limitations to the Lite version is a max of 10 albums and 100 images per album, plus the Pro version adds the ability to watermark images as they are uploaded.

The program is called ProofBuddy and requires PHP and MySQL installed on your web server. An integrated shopping cart allows you to sell your images to your clients online and you can optionally link to PayPal to handle payments.

This screen is the Dashboard, the first screen you see after logging in. Across the top is a two layered tab bar that will quickly take you to any section of the program. The quick task icons give you a way to perform the most common tasks easily. To the right of the quick task icons is a window giving you a quick glance into your album statistics. And the bottom contains news from an RSS feed so that you’re always up to date with ProofBuddy developments.
