Can client order black and white when only color is uploaded?

[Emily DeWan]

Greetings! To sell both black & white and color versions of the same photo, what is the best method? I know I can go in and manually change an individual photo to black & white, sepia, etc., but that replaces the original color image, yes? And I can set a proof hold for the order so I can upload my own black & white, but that will also replace the original. Even if I do that, is there a place for the client to add a note that they would like that one black & white?
So... what are folks doing to offer both color and black & white to their clients?

Thanks!
Emily

We don't that feature yet. I'm sorry you'll need to make a 2nd BW version.

There are so many ways to make a black-and-white...
To have such a feature, SmugMug would need to have Lightroom-like tools online.

There's an option to make a copy of an image in your online gallery, so you can make the copy a black and white. You could also use the piknik.com editing option and save as a copy, instead of replacing.
