cesphoto Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi - I am new to PTE and was wondering ...Now that I have created my slideshow - how can I get it so a client can view it? Can I put this on my website somehow?I've seen other photographers that just email their clients a link and it is somehow up on their website - does that make sense? So the client can download it from there and then you can set the parameter so they can view for x amount of days or times before expiring type of thing. I would be using it to help proof my photos and get the emotional side of things rolling before showing static photosI know I can't email it via outlook because it's a .exeAny help would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks!Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see below). But please consider the 'recipient' whomight not wait for 10 minutes to download an EMail Attachment....There are other Members who can advise about your Web-Page but for the time being I hope the above information will get youout of problems.Media Fire Link:- http://www.mediafire.com/Best regards,Brian.Conflow.

I've used it many time for large files.You upload it and a notice is sent to your client for them to download it at their convenience.

You guys rock!=================With YouSendIt, you can send an exe file. But be aware that some email programs will automatically reject exe files, so unless you are sure your client will take exe files, it might be best to zip the files.
