How to Edit a Client Gallery Event Cover Page

How to Edit an Individual Client Gallery Event Cover Page

Overview

Every PhotoBiz Client Gallery event includes a cover page that clients see before entering their gallery. You can customize this page with your business branding, event name, subtitle, button text, and cover image.

By default, PhotoBiz uses the first image from the first gallery within your event as the cover image. You can choose a custom image, remove the cover image entirely, or hide your logo for a simpler presentation. You can also select a different cover page layout for an individual event without changing your other Client Galleries.

This guide explains how to customize an existing Client Gallery event cover page, save your changes, and understand what your clients will see.

STEP ONE

This opens your Client Galleries Dashboard, where you can manage your events, design settings, and client activity.

STEP TWO

Click EVENTS at the top of your Client Galleries Dashboard.

This opens your list of existing Client Gallery events.

STEP THREE

Locate the Client Gallery event you want to customize.

You can select an event category from the dropdown menu or use the search field to find an event by name. The small image beside each event name provides a preview of that event's cover image.

Click the event name to open the gallery.

If you haven't created an event yet, follow our How To Create A New Event in PhotoBiz Client Galleries guide.

STEP FOUR

Click cover page in the left-side menu of your selected event.

This opens the cover page settings, where you can customize the layout, logo, subtitle, button text, cover image, image opacity, and focal point.

The available settings are organized on the same page, allowing you to make your changes before saving everything together.

Cover Page Settings

The following settings allow you to customize the appearance of your event's cover page. Changes to these settings apply only to the event you're editing.

Cover Page Layout

Use COVER PAGE LAYOUT to choose how your event's cover page is displayed.

You have two options:

Auto: Uses the default cover page layout configured in your Client Galleries global design settings. The Current Layout preview shows which design is being used.
Custom: Displays the available cover page layouts so you can select a different design specifically for this event.

When you select Custom, PhotoBiz displays nine layout options:

Full Screen Original
Vertical Split Left
Vertical Split Right
Square Left
Square Right
Horizontal Top
Viewport Top
Overlay Left
Overlay Center

Click the thumbnail of the layout you want to use. Your selected layout will be outlined to indicate your choice.

Below the layout options, you can continue customizing the logo, subtitle, button text, cover image, opacity, and focal point.

Your selected layout and other cover page settings will be saved together when you click save changes at the bottom of the page.

Changing an individual event's cover page layout does not affect your other events or global default layout.

For instructions on changing the default layout used by your Client Galleries, see How to Change the Layout Options for Client

Display Logo

Use DISPLAY LOGO to control whether your business branding appears at the top of this event's cover page.

Yes: Displays your configured business logo. If no logo has been uploaded to your branding settings, PhotoBiz displays your Company Name instead.
No: Hides the logo or Company Name from the event's cover page.

To remove your logo from an individual Client Gallery cover page, select No under DISPLAY LOGO.

The event name, expiration date, subtitle, button, and applicable access fields remain available even when the logo is hidden.

To display your branding again, return to this setting, select Yes, and save your changes.

Hiding your logo on an individual event does not remove it from your PhotoBiz account or change the branding used by other events.

Client Galleries Branding

Your Client Galleries can use your PhotoBiz Global Branding or branding customized specifically for Client Galleries.

To manage this, click DESIGN at the top of your Client Galleries Dashboard and open the BRANDING section.

Auto: Uses your PhotoBiz account's Global Branding settings.
Custom: Allows you to configure separate branding for Client Galleries, including a logo, favicon, accent color, and company information.

When logo display is enabled on an event, PhotoBiz uses the configured logo or displays your Company Name if no logo has been uploaded.

Subtitle (Optional)

Enter an optional message that appears below the event name on your cover page.

You can use this area to welcome clients, identify the photography session, or provide a short instruction.

Examples include:

Your Family Portrait Gallery
Thank You for Choosing Us!
Your Photos Are Ready to View

Leave the field blank if you don't want to display a subtitle.

Button Text

Use BUTTON TEXT to customize the wording on the button clients click to enter their gallery.

For example, you could enter:

Open
View Images
Enter Gallery
View Your Photos

Choose wording that makes it clear how clients can access their photographs.

Cover Image

Use COVER IMAGE to choose which image appears on your event's cover page.

You have three options:

No image: Displays your event's cover page without a cover image. Your configured branding, event name, expiration date, subtitle, and applicable access fields remain visible.
First image: Automatically uses the first image from the first gallery within your event. This is the default setting.
Custom image: Allows you to select a specific image instead of using the first gallery image.

When you select Custom image, you can choose an image from the following sources:

Custom Image: Upload an image directly from your device.
Clipboard: Select an image from your PhotoBiz Image Clipboard.
Stock Photo: Choose an image from PhotoBiz's royalty-free stock image library.

Using a custom image allows you to feature a specific photograph without rearranging the images inside your gallery.

Your selected cover image is also used for the cover image preview displayed beside the event name on the EVENTS screen.

What Happens When You Remove a Cover Image?

Selecting No image removes the cover image from the event's cover page without deleting any gallery photographs.

If you delete a custom cover image, PhotoBiz automatically defaults the event to No image rather than switching back to the first gallery image.

To display a cover image again, return to COVER IMAGE and select First image or Custom image, then save your changes.

Removing the Cover Image from Email Invitations

Selecting No image also removes the cover image thumbnail from PhotoBiz's built-in Client Gallery email invitations.

Your email invitations will continue to display your business branding, event name, expiration date, applicable event information, and the VIEW EVENT button.

This is useful when you want to send a branded email invitation without including an image thumbnail.

This setting controls the cover image used in PhotoBiz's email invitations. Other email applications, messaging services, or social media platforms may handle previews of shared gallery links differently.

Cover Image Opacity

Use COVER IMAGE OPACITY to adjust how prominently your selected cover image appears.

Adjusting the opacity can help improve the readability of your event name, subtitle, logo, and button when they're displayed over an image.

For example, if your cover image contains bright highlights or a busy scene, adjusting the opacity can make your cover page content easier to read.

Image Focal Point

The IMAGE FOCAL POINT setting controls which area of your cover image remains the focus when PhotoBiz displays or crops the image on different screen sizes.

Click edit to adjust the focal point.

This is especially helpful when your cover image includes faces, people, or important subjects that you want to keep visible on both desktop and mobile devices.

FINAL STEP

After customizing your event's cover page, scroll to the bottom of the settings and click save changes.

Your updated layout, logo visibility, subtitle, button text, cover image, opacity, and focal point settings will be applied to the selected event.

These changes do not affect your other Client Galleries events.

After saving, preview your event to confirm that the cover page displays as intended.

We recommend checking the cover page on both desktop and mobile devices, especially if you've selected a custom image, adjusted the focal point, or changed the cover page layout.

What Your Clients See

When clients open your Client Gallery event, they'll see the cover page you've customized.

Depending on your settings, the cover page can display your business logo or Company Name, event name, expiration date, subtitle, customized button text, and cover image.

When You Hide Your Logo

If you select No under DISPLAY LOGO, your logo or Company Name will not appear in the branding area at the top of that event's cover page.

The event name, expiration date, and other applicable event information will remain available.

This allows you to create a simpler cover page without changing the branding settings used elsewhere in your PhotoBiz account.

Example: Cover Page No Logo, Image Select

When You Select No Image

If you select No image under COVER IMAGE, clients will see the event cover page without a cover image.

Your configured branding and applicable event information remain visible.

If you also select No under DISPLAY LOGO, the cover page will display without the logo, Company Name branding, or cover image.

The event name, expiration date, and applicable access fields remain available.

Password Protection and Email Collection

If your event requires password protection or email collection, the appropriate fields appear as part of the event's sign-in experience.

Clients must provide the required information before they can view their gallery images.

These access requirements remain in place regardless of whether you display a logo or cover image.

Example: Cover Page No Image, No Logo

What Clients See in Email Invitations

When you send a Client Gallery email invitation using PhotoBiz, the invitation can include your configured branding, event name, expiration date, applicable message and access information, and the VIEW EVENT button.

If you selected No image, the email invitation will not include a cover image thumbnail.

Removing the cover image or hiding the logo on the event cover page does not remove photographs from the gallery or change its access requirements.

Example: Client Gallery Email Invite, No Image

Helpful Notes

Individual Event Settings: Your cover page settings apply only to the selected Client Gallery event. Events using Auto for their cover page layout follow your global layout settings.
Restoring a Cover Image: If you delete a custom cover image, the event defaults to No image. Select First image or Custom image to display an image again.
Branding Fallback: When logo display is enabled, PhotoBiz displays your configured logo or Company Name if no logo has been uploaded.
Mobile Display: Adjust IMAGE FOCAL POINT to help keep important subjects visible across different devices and screen sizes.
Admin Preview: Previewing an event from your PhotoBiz account bypasses password protection and email collection requirements. Simply viewing the admin preview does not register gallery activity or trigger email automations. However, actions such as downloading images or adding items to the cart may appear in your event's Activity.
Testing Client Access: To check the actual client experience, open the client-facing share link in a private browser window where you aren't logged in to your PhotoBiz account.
