My process of rating, choosing and sorting pictures is a lot faster

just doing pictures for myself.
At some point, I'll need to figure out how to set up a gallery where
customers can order prints in such a way that I have a chance to
clean up the prints that have been ordered. Ideally, they'd also be
able to rate photos too.
I should probably just take my camera for a walk in the forest while
it's raining, just to do take some photos for myself for a change.
Aren't you just describing what sets apart a professional and an amateur
- the right and cost of making a mistake? I am not sure I'd like to be
one your customers if I had to rate photos and so on. It is very much
similar to Pentax making us fine tune AF of our cameras instead of
making it work from the factory. I am not saying that you shouldn't be
doing this or that Pentax is wrong. It is just my own (humble) perspective.
It also depends on the relationship between you and your customers. If
they are not totally strange people to you, then it might work. But
eventually, I think, you would have to optimize your workflow and be
able to work completely on your own giving your customers completely
finalized product.
