Working with lightboxes

A lightbox is a container to save, organize and administrate your searching results. Only registered users can create lightboxes; they are always individual and customer-related.

After your customer registration and your log into the server of delosfoto all lightbox functions are at your disposal. You can:

• create an unlimited quantity of lightboxes in order to organize different projects.

• access to, modify and delete your lightboxes

• download the single lightboxes as ZIP-folders and thereby save them on your computer

• request offers concerning photos of your lightbox

The menu "lightboxes" can be found in the main menu under the category "Account". For not registered users this function is hidden.

Create a lightbox

For the creation of lightboxes you first have to select the menu item "lightboxes" under the category "Account". There you activate the function "Create new lightbox".

Now choose a name for your lightbox (e. g. "Theaters") and click the button "Create new lightbox". The server of delosfoto arranges the list of your lightboxes by the date of creation.

Transmit images from search to a lightbox

For transmitting specific search results to a lightbox please use the detailed view of the respective image. The detailed view opens in an extra window of the search page by clicking on the single images. There you can allot the image to one of the lightboxes you have created.

Display and edit your lightbox

By choosing the menu item "Lightboxes" an overview of all your lightboxes appears.

By clicking on the name or a photo of the lightbox you can rename the lightbox, remove photos and add or edit the caption of this lightbox. Your changes are being saved automatically.

You can also save the lightboxes on your computer as packed folders by activating the function "Download as Zip".

Coordinate lightboxes

If you work with multiple lightboxes, you have the possibility to transfer an image from one lightbox to another by activating the function "Copy". Thereby, a selection window is being opened in which you can choose the desired destination of the image.

Delete a lightbox

Please check your lightboxes at regular intervals and delete the ones you do not need anymore. As a long list of lightboxes can handicap your work, this function improves your own comfort significantly. After the activation of the function "Delete this lightbox" a security check appears. The lightbox in question will only be deleted after your confirmation.

Request offers

If you want to request an offer for a lightbox, you can either use our price calculator integrated into the searching function or send us the relevant lightbox via email. As licensed pictures (LPs) require the declaration of the purpose of use, the mapping value, the positioning, the intended edition and eventual further uses, an immediate price request is recommendable in order to ensure the clearness of the necessary information.

Durability of lightboxes

delosfoto guarantees that each of your created lightboxes will be available for at least two years after the date of creation.
