Use case · Architecture
An architecture shoot, chosen by everyone who commissioned it
A building is rarely photographed for one client. The architect, the developer, the interior designer and the magazine each want their own views of it. Peak shows them one selection, keeps each party’s choices apart, and files them for you one by one.
Every party picks their own views
Invite each party by email into one room and keep it private: each person sees only their own picks, stars and comments, and yours, while you see everyone’s. The room’s activity shows the views picked most, and who is behind each.
When the selections are in, file one party’s picks into your library as a collection, or everyone’s together, and license or edit from there.
Comment on the view, not the file name
Clients comment in the room’s conversation and point at a frame with #, so “the north elevation without the crane” is a link to that frame rather than a file number in an email.
JPEGs to choose from, TIFF masters to keep
Most browsers cannot draw a TIFF, so a client choosing from one would see no picture. Share the selection as JPEGs, then deliver the TIFF masters in a room with downloads on: one frame at a time, or the whole room as a single zip.
Peak hands back every file exactly as you uploaded it, EXIF included.
A private house leaves without its address
Interiors of a private residence carry the GPS position of that home. Turn on Remove location and the room’s JPEG, TIFF and DNG copies lose their GPS and place data without being re-encoded, while your master keeps it.
The archive, by material and light
Colour search finds every frame where the terracotta of a facade, or the blue of the hour after sunset, fills the picture, across every project you have kept.
Open a frame and Peak shows the others that look like it, so the same façade shot again years later comes back beside it.
Room for large files
On Pro, at $24 a month, the library holds 400 GB, a room holds 50 GB and stays open up to 90 days. Studio holds 1.5 TB, with rooms of 100 GB open up to 1 year.
Questions
- How do I send architecture photos to several clients who each license different images?
- In Peak, invite every party into one private room: each sees only their own picks, and you see all of them. Then file each party’s picks into its own collection in your library and deliver from there.
- Can clients view TIFF files in Peak?
- Most browsers cannot display a TIFF, so Peak is best used with JPEGs for the selection and the TIFF masters for the final download, which Peak delivers exactly as uploaded.
