How to Download Photos in Pic-Time
Pic-time is a gallery app used by thousands of photographers because of its incredible features, one of which is the ability to include product snapshots using clients' imagery.
While the app is laid out in a user-friendly way, inevitably, each year, I have a few clients who need clarification about how to download their images.
I modified the instructions straight from Pic-Time to walk you through it.
I recommend “Hearting” your favorites, it will put them in a Favorite Gallery for you to download from and make things easier for you.
Additionally if you are needing additional edits then putting them in a Favorite Album will help me see which ones you have selected.
If you have still have trouble after reading this how to, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I want to make sure you get your images.
While digital downloads are important, the value or printed images can’t ever be replaced. All galleries are equipped with a store where you can purchase prints. Or use your digital downloads in High Resolution to order your own prints. Please see here to make sure you receive the best prints possible, or order through my print shop.
