How do you deliver photos?

Models choice... Dropbox, Wetransfer or email as attachments. 

I use a LightRoom shared album, the model can view and like the selected images online, and also leave comments, I am also notified as soon as they have done this. Any edits I make on an image are also instantly viewable by the model.

I use actions in photoshop to resize (different sizes for different clients) images and send via wetransfer

Lightroom should do everything you want.

Bulk export at a given size to a shared album.

I use LR and put the files into an MS OneDrive shared folder, but I use OneDrive for everything at work.

Thanks everyone. Give me some things to consider and look at.

Whe I do send anything to a model it is via Wetransfer.

I have never been able to fathom Dropbox.

I export the photos in the correct format via lightroom and then I send them via WeTransfer

Delivery: in a folder on my own web server.

Software to size and crop: 

Resizing is easy to automate, cropping is also easy to do as a batch, but deciding where to crop seems like something I'd generally hope to do better individually. There is a general principle for thumbnails that taking a bit off the periphery improves on just shrinking the whole thing, but even there one wants to target the main point of the image.

ImageMagick does it all, once you've sorted out what you want done.

Same here - or very similar, anyway...

My web-server, our intranet servers and all my local / LAN machines run Debian (or a derivative thereof). Which means that I can mount any storage drive, on any machine, local or remote, as part of my local Unix filesystem. Even works with my rooted smartphones (rooting an Android smartphone grants root access to its Linux subsystem).

Upshot of this is that it's trivially easy to squirt files between machines/devices, without requiring a third party in order to do so. Thus eliminating the likes of Dropbox, Google Drive, We Transfer et al. Also means I can run commands on the remote server over SSH, as if it were sitting on my desk, or even from my smartphone. Works a treat, actually. :-)

I use Pixieset for photo delivery and storage, with backup in Dropbox and on SSD drives. Typically, after a shoot, I'll export low res contact sheets and put them in one Pixieset gallery, so the model or client can make selections for editing. Once editing is done, I'll export full res and web res version, and drop each into their own Pixieset gallery. I like the privacy settings in Pixieset, either hiding the gallery from my homepage and/or requiring password access to view a gallery and a PIN to download images.

I used to use Dropbox, but now send links to my own Synology NAS - more control, don’t have to pay for a third party. I tend to have separate folders with low res (900px) thumbnails, to select, and then folders for edited versions, but looking to slick up the process a bit next year with dedicated software for selections, ordering prints etc.

I use a couple of rather simple bits of PHP to generate web pages to show the contents of a folder a bit more conveniently than one file at a time.

Software for ordering prints increases the attack surface, but I think I could improve on my current "make a list of the numbers you like and send it".

Payments may be best done by s service.

Hello.

Outlook has a file size limit but I have sent zip files via Gmail.

The best I have found now is to post in an iCloud album and send a link to view and download via email to the model.

Full size photos and complete, simple and no size limits.

For batch resizing I used to use IrfanView on PC but not available on Mac unfortunately, simple and fast.

Any cropping (which for me is the final stage to finish photos taken at other than 4:3 ratio on my Olympus such as 16:9) I do in Olympus Workspace.

We are using Adobe Creative Suite at College so I expect Adobe Photoshop and Adrobe Bridge can also batch resize and crop.

For batch resizing on a MacBook Pro I just use Olympus Workspace when exporting from RAW.

I have used Dropbox, very good but the free version doesn't give enough for file size limits and paying for the other plans is not an option anymore, effective but expensive.

Adobe Lightroom (have trialed versions 4, 5 and 6 before) should do all that you ask as well.

As an Olympus photographer I have found Olympus View 3 then Olympus Workspace to do anything I want and the latter is particularly recommended, works so well and fast on my MacBook Pro and ease of use.

Mark.

Dropbox

That way all I need do is send a link. I dont need contact details or any private info that way.

I use Sync very easy to use and manage.
