Photomoto? Highslide Gallery?
« on: September 04, 2009, 10:11:16 pm »

Hi,

I'm looking at the TTG Highslide Gallery Pro plugin for Lightroom. It has a connection with Photomoto for handling sales and prints.

Anyone have experience with these products?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,
I'm just in the process of setting up a site for my artist daughter using TTG Highslide Gallery Pro www.artbylisashanahan.com . In general, it's a great template. I like the visual impression, easily configuarable. However, I've no experience with Photomoto - prefer to use Paypal, but the template was designed for photographers not artists selling original works - that is one price per painting. I've come to a bit of a pause while I sort this problem out (anyone else have any tips here?).
In the meantime I'm using the Selection Gallery option for the Works for Sale page although it doesn't seem to work as I expected - waiting for a reply from Matthewl Campagna re that.
In short, I like it enough to persevere.
Cheers, Bob.

I've just set up a section of one of my sites for selling wedding prints via paypal, using  the TTG Highslide Gallery Pro plugin and it's superb. There are lots of options for customizing the page and it's uploaded and working without any faults/errors unlike some other plug-ins.

Have no experience using Photomoto. Not sure if it's really worth me using at as I'm in the UK, but it looks fairly intuitive to use.

Thanks
Chris

Thanks for the feedback -- sounds like Highslide is worthwhile product. I understand I have to purchase the TTG Auto Index as well if I want to have multiple galleries which most of us would need.

I'll try and find out more about Photomoto.

Not sure that you absolutely need Auto Index. The site I've put up doesn't use it - the caveat there is I suppose that I hacked the HTML code to add the galleries to the menu.
The problem I had with the Selection Gallery has been solved - works really well, but if I work out the Paypal stuff it would be better still.

Hi,

Used both the TTG index and Highslide Gallery Pro to create a site. Working very good so far. Can upload a gallery and the index page updates automatically. Very nice!

Fotomoto was easily installed so I'm supposedly ready to sell prints. Worried about the print quality and how this will work but the install was easy. No cost to join up; you pay the printing cost for each order plus 15% but you set the price. Uses Kodak paper (gloss, luster, metallic). Time will tell on this but the integration was easy with no fees.
