What’s new.

  • Visual cropping guide overlays — A highly requested feature by our photographers has been the ability to help their customers understand what will be cropped on prints as the format sizes are changed. We’re excited to share that we added a visual cropping guide overlay to the shopping cart. In the shopping cart, your customers will see a red overlay which will indicate what will be cropped when printed and so adjustments can be made accordingly before the purchase is made.
  • Permanently delete trash in the Library — We’ve added the ability for you to permanently delete items in your Library trash can. Remember, once you add something to the trash, you still have 30 days to recover those items but you also have the ability to permanently delete them by simply emptying the trash. Be careful using this though. Once enabled, the files can’t be recovered.

What’s changed.

  • Moved the Watermark tool access in the Selling Tools tab of the Navigation menu — By removing the Watermark tool from Account Settings and moving it to the Selling Tools tab, this puts all of our tools for sellers in once place making it easier to find. Learn more about how to create and use Watermarks to protect your photos.
  • Manage pricelist page update — The look and feel of the page where pricelists are managed has been updated to give clearer indication of which pricelist is assigned as the default for the site. At the top of the page, the default price list will be listed on the left.
  • For SmugMug Pro members with assistants — Assistants can now log in to your SmugMug Pro account and the Account Settings page will now say “Account Setting-Assistant View”. This will help with lessening any confusion over which login is currently being used when viewing the account.
  • Moved access to proof delay and your sales history to the Sales tab in the SmugMug iOS and Android mobile apps.

Bug fixes.

As always, we have been busy squashing pesky bugs!

  • Fixed storage concerns on iOS devices. Added a warning on iOS app to advise if the password is the same as the hint being used.
  • Addressed minor checkout issues in the shopping cart and problems with payment on order creation to improve the checkout experience for your customers.
  • Resolved small bugs found in your Account Settings including updating an address and adding country information on receipts with VAT charges.
  • Fixed some small Gallery and folder issues.
