Online Proofing Software
FirstExact is proud to recommend ProofHQ, an easy to use web-based proofing tool. We often use ProofHQ to send large files, but we avoid the need to send them via email:
> We can send files for online approval up to 75mb
> We can upload native Photoshop files without converting to pdf
> All of our reviewers are sent an email letting them know that there's an image / doucment requiring online approval.
> This leads to faster proof review and better colloboration & managment.
> The tool also integrates with Basecamp
> There's a free 14 day trial (click on the link top right)
