Ability to print or download lightbox comps.

When working on a large project, I may scout several dozen images that I may use, adding them to a lightbox. I'd like to be able to quickly download comps to create a contact sheet for my clients to review, or even print them directly off iStock in a nice layout.


Is this something iStock could implement?

I love how the staff responds to each and every suggestion =D

I second this. One HUGE flaw that istock has over other stock photo sites.

I agree. This is a great idea and should not be so hard to implement. A "print page" from a lightbox could print the comps out in a contact sheet format using a very small file size.

I'd like you guys to try out something that I hacked together. Let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions.

Wow, that's great Sean! Works very nicely. Not sure what to suggest but I'll let you know if I think of something.


Thanks!!

That is AWESOME. This should help out designers when chosing images! What do you think?

Let's hope

SJ, have you forwarded this to anyone at HQ? I think it's pretty cool.

I'm an enigma wrapped in a riddle inside a mystery.
