Added in Light Blue 5.5

Online contract signing

When a client decides to book a shoot, you want to make sure that confirming their booking is as simple as possible. It needs to be really easy for your client to sign your contract and pay a booking fee, so they don't hold up your business by taking ages to email or post things back to you. And, of course, you don't want to spend more time than you have to on boring admin tasks! Our new online contract signing service makes the whole process of confirming a booking really simple.

Our great new online contract signing features are included in a subscription to our online services, which starts at just £7.50 + VAT per month. As well as contract signing, the online services mean you can hook up your web contact forms to Light Blue, sync data between devices (Mac, PC, iPhone and iPad) and get all the updates we release in future for free!

Bugs fixed in Light Blue 5.5

Light Blue 5.1 is here!

Light Blue 5.1 is a substantial update, and we’ve a lot of work into making the app more efficient and responsive. This is especially true for the Windows version of Light Blue, where we’ve made big changes to the way that information is loaded and displayed to improve its speed and efficiency. We've also added new features and fixed some minor bugs, as described below.

And there's more!

Edit Sales after you've invoiced them

In Light Blue 4, once you'd created an invoice, it couldn't be edited. Sometimes, however, you need to make a change to one you've already sent; in Light Blue 5, you can now edit invoices once they've been created, which gives you the flexibility to deal with customers changing their minds.

Shared accounts

You can now share your Light Blue account with other photographers who are using Light Blue. This is particularly useful for photographers who are collaborating with others but want to keep their own business information separate (you can set up a separate Light Blue account for your joint venture, and switch back and forth between the two accounts as necessary) and for anyone who's managing a chain of studios or a franchised business (each separate studio can set up their own Light Blue account, and give 'head office' access to it).

Saving you time

Being even more useful

Keep track of time off

It's now really easy to keep track of when people are out of the office, or when equipment or rooms are unavailable, with our new Time Off features. You can block out time from the built-in calendar, with just a double-click on the relevant day, and any sessions or appointments which clash with time off will be shown in red, so you can easily see if you're scheduling something when you're not available.

And much more…

Light Blue 5 is full of minor tweaks that we've made to make it easier for you to manage your business. The full list would be far too boring to detail here: in fact, we'll be pleasantly surprised if you've made it this far.
