I would love any and all feedback. You need to be logged in to see the lightbox preview area. I hope you guys like but really for the buyers ;-) I will take in all your feedback so let me know. Have a good weekend to everyone.
From this point forward Cutcaster is re-branding the Clipfolders and calling them “Lightboxes” which is an industry standard term that photo buyers are used to seeing.
What is a Lightbox?
As you probably know, a lightbox at Cutcaster is a customized folder that lets a user organize digital photos and illustrations that they would eventually like to download or share with a colleague/friend. Any files can be assigned to a viewable lightbox folder by subject, for later convenience, or used to compile unrelated photos for a specific project layout. Lightboxes also allow photo buyers and graphic designers to show clients options for a project in one simple uncluttered folder.
Use the lightboxes to store a group of photos that you would like to eventually purchase or send to a colleague/friend to review. Lightboxes can be set to private or public depending on your purpose for using them.
I hope the change of names doesn’t confuse anyone and hope this makes using Cutcaster easier.

This looks great John and was very easy to use. With all the shenanigans from some of the big sites, I will be giving your site some exclusive images this year. Nice to see CC is in the "up and coming" section in the poll results. With StockXpert going, the top 6 now looks like a possibility. Here's my first lightbox. I know they are really for buyers but they are also a nice way for contributors to show a bunch of images.

Always have thought you should have been a conformist in this instance. Now, all my blog/search engine references to my "clip folders" will have to be rewritten.
No Sweat... Lightbox is the standard.
Or, collection. :-\

No need to rewrite it Warren. It will be fine. They are still getting picked up by the big search engines bc you did such a good job submitting the lightbox to them and describing it. Nice work on the motorcross ones ;-)
Let me know what you think of the new functionality though.
Sharpshot, Thank you for your support. I need your help and appreciate it.

Looks great John. I like it ;D

Great to hear. I am excited just by the number of new lightboxes that were created by people. It seems like they are easier to use and should save buyers a lot of time. Happy they are released.

They also are a good draw from Google and other search engines. My Legends Lightbox has drawn more than 1500 views and some good sales.
BTW ... The Canadian TV deal fell thru. But, they may be back to you to bargain. ;D

Let's make it happen Warren.
