Photo Gallery Migration Validation: Check More Than Image Counts

Compare representative galleries after migration for filenames, order, image quality and the intended access settings.

Start here

The practical answer

Compare representative galleries after migration for filenames, order, image quality and the intended access settings. A matching count is useful but incomplete.

A studio moves a large library and finds that one gallery contains different crops while another still uses an old client link.

Put it into practice

A three-step working sequence

  1. 01

    Select a mix of small and large galleries

    Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.

  2. 02

    Check representative files and viewing behavior

    Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.

  3. 03

    Update external links only after validation

    Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.

Worked handoff

A concrete example

Pick a small portrait gallery, a large event and one gallery with important selections. Compare counts, representative filenames and the recipient experience. Record comments or picks that require a separate manual record.

Keep the record

Your project worksheet

Old gallery, new gallery, count, sample filenames, access check, link replacement.

Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Product fit

Where clientgallery.io fits

ClientGallery separates client-facing galleries from temporary full-resolution delivery bundles and optional master archive services. Check the current pricing and availability rules before promising a retention period. A gallery subscription is not a complete backup policy.

Review delivery and archive options

Make the next step concrete

Test it with one real project.

Check the client handoff, then choose the plan that matches the work you need to deliver.
