Apply only what you choose.

SuiPic is a decision layer for photographers who work in Lightroom Classic. Publish edited previews from a collection. Send each client a private link. They pick, reject, rate, colour and comment — no account, no app, no Lightroom knowledge required.

Nothing reaches your catalogue on its own. You choose one reviewer, one submitted revision and the categories to import. You see exactly which fields will be added or replaced before you confirm. And if you change your mind, a guarded revert restores what it safely can.

Procedure

Four steps. In this order.

Publish in Lightroom.

A native Publish Service sends review-size WebP previews from a collection. Your originals stay where they are.

Review on the web.

Each reviewer gets their own private link. Nobody sees anyone else's choices. Revoke a link at any time.

Apply what you choose.

Pick a submitted revision and the categories to import. Check the counts. Then the paired plugin applies them.

Revert if you need to.

Restores the values an import replaced — and skips any field you have changed since.

Client View

No opinion is an answer.

Leaving a category alone means no opinion. If that category is imported, the photographer's existing Lightroom value stays untouched — neutral never clears a field. Changes save as you go; submitting freezes a revision.
