Changelog

Statistics. See who opened a link, where they came from, how long they stayed and which photographs they looked at — for galleries, downloads, Albums and drop links alike.
Sort a gallery by filename, capture time or your own order, and rearrange photographs by dragging one or a whole selection.
Replace a photograph without losing a thing: its place, its link, and every rating and comment your client left stay where they were. Re-export a batch and Skerp matches the files by name.
Drop links carry your branding and a link you can read aloud. Guests see their own uploads and nobody else's.
Studio review lives on the gallery itself. A photographer submits, an admin approves or sends it back with notes, and the notes stay on the gallery until the next submission.
Studio Contributors work in the galleries assigned to them with the same tools as a studio photographer, and see nothing beyond them.
Decide which emails reach you for a single gallery, a project or the whole studio.
Skerper 2.5 for Lightroom. When a password changes or a token is revoked, one click signs you back in.
Security and reliability work across the platform: stricter limits on public pages, one quota check for every upload channel, and download links that stay valid for as long as the gallery offers them.

Albums are finished. Download one as a PDF book — a page per spread, ready to print or to send on — and offer it to your client from the Album itself.
Play an Album full-screen as a slideshow, loop it for a screen in the studio, or put it on your own website.
See how far people actually got: how many opened the Album, how many reached the end, how long they stayed, and on what.
Start from a look — Wedding editorial, Fine-art book, Family album or Portfolio — and Skerp sets the pacing and typography to match before you change a thing.

Albums arrange themselves properly. Skerp reads the time each photograph was taken and splits the day into chapters, then paces the layout the way you ask — quiet, editorial, or rich. Do not like this version? Shuffle for another.
Freeform spreads — start from a composed page and move photographs and text cards around it by hand.
A story image for every Album, sized for Instagram and WhatsApp, alongside the link card.
Anything you edit by hand stays put when Skerp rearranges the rest.

A calmer Album editor — a clearer way to add pages and photographs, every theme previewed in your own work, and design changes that save as you make them.
Album covers, section breaks and text pages got real styles, typefaces and colour palettes to choose between.
Promo signup links for campaigns and partners, and a tidier gallery password panel.

Albums — a presentation gallery for finished work. Skerp lays your photographs out like a magazine, and a guided setup gets you from a folder to something worth sending in a few minutes.
Social previews for every gallery — share a link on WhatsApp, iMessage or social and it arrives with a card made from the photographs inside.
See when a proofing gallery is opened and when files are downloaded, in its activity log.
Preview any Skerp email exactly as your client will receive it, from your settings.

Better trial guidance — clearer timing on reminders, with feature highlights mid-trial.
Custom social previews — every public page now has its own image when the link is shared on social or chat.

Skerp is live. v2026.4 is the first public release — photographers can sign up at skerp.io with a 14-day Pro trial, no card upfront.
Every capability built through February, March, and April is part of the launch cut: the full proofing workflow, real-time sync, Studio tier, Skerper for Lightroom, proof marks, and comment attachments.

Watermark customisation — three configurable watermark slots per gallery, with account-level defaults, per-gallery overrides, and full size, colour, shadow and font controls.
Comment attachments — clients can attach references, images, or PDFs (up to 50 MB) directly to any comment, with per-gallery storage caps.
Faster, calmer galleries — thumbnails crossfade on load, fewer layout shifts, better behaviour on shaky connections.

Skerper for Lightroom Classic — two-way bridge between Skerp and Lightroom: client decisions land on pick flags, colour labels, keywords, or stars; comments flow both ways; uploads go straight to storage.
Studio tier — team roles (Owner, Member, Photographer), internal review workflow, shared branding, projects, and studio-exclusive drop links for receiving files from clients.
Billing — Free, Standard, and Pro plans with a 14-day trial, no card upfront.
Delivery galleries — a separate branded delivery surface for sending the final files, distinct from the proofing flow.

The dashboard and the client gallery — photographer dashboard for managing collections, and a no-account-required gallery clients open from a single link.
Pin-and-comment review — numbered pins on the image, threaded comments in the sidebar, ratings, side-by-side compare with synced zoom, undo/redo.
Real-time sync, offline mode, dark-first design — selections and comments propagate live across viewers; galleries work without a connection; light and dark themes throughout.
Keyboard triage — arrow keys, space, number keys for ratings. Review hundreds of images in minutes.

Skerp's foundations were laid in February 2026; everything before that is scaffolding, not customer-facing.

October 2026 — v2026.10
