I LOVE using Evoto and it saves SO much time in my workflow.  Every client views images in a Reveal Session and those images are NOT retouched – a proof gallery.  Now, I can throw them through Evoto which takes literally 5 mins and my sales are now HIGHER that my images are a littler more refined for viewing.
