Selling Digital Photos

Don't Assume a Computer or Media Format!

SUMMARY: Always distribute digital photos in media formats others can use.
 
Planning on distributing samples of your digital photography to a potential client for review? Save time and aggravation - do not assume others use the same computer and media devices that you do!

While the majority of computer users run Windows for their desktop, many graphics professionals use Macintosh. Others may use Linux or another Unix-based system.

If possible, create multi-format CDs to help ensure you don't embarrass yourself by distributing media that a client cannot use. Good CD creation software should help in this process.

Avoid proprietary media - I would even recommend NOT using Zip disks unless you know the client has them. As for DVDs, even though this is a format growing in popularity, I would ask first before distributing content this way.
