BackdropTM - Online Photography Routing & Approval
Backdrop is a web-based digital photography routing and approval application that will streamline your photography workflow by automating, centralizing and tracking all reviews, comments and approvals from anywhere in the world.
During or after a shoot, photographers upload images through the Backdrop interface where they are transmitted to a secure web server hosted by Widen. Automatic email notifications prompt the creative director and other designated reviewers to review the shoot, make comments directly on the images, approve them or request a reshoot. Widen's custom PhotoScript allows you to set up workflow rules to work precisely how you need them.
Widen has been supporting photography workflows for 60 years. From capture to distribution, we continue to support your photography lifecycle with Backdrop and our digital asset management software as a service.
