Manually hide hundreds of prices?

If you want to offer only a small number of options of sizes and presentations for a selection of photos, is it necessary to go down the complete list in the pricing page and enter "0" $ against every entry that you don't want to appear? Seems like a hundred or more times! Is there a way to do it faster?

    Yes it's necessary.
    Set all prices to $0 with the pricing tool, then change only the ones you want :)

    Yes, that's what I was thinking should be possible. Where is that pricing tool? Thanks.

    There's an easier way still, since Smugmug fixed the image level pricing to work with gallery level price structures.

    Say you want to only offer prints in the right proportion for the original, let's say 4x6 and multiples of that. Create a gallery called 4x6 and make it hidden. Set gallery level prices as $0 for every item that would require cropping. Then set your prices for the items you want to offer, and save your prices.

    So when pricing individual shots, if the new shot is in a 4x6 dimension, when you go to set prices, click individual, select the 4x6 gallery as the basis of your prices, apply it for all products, and you're done.

    The main advantage in this, aside from time, is that the customer isn't inundated with a slew of sizes which all require cropping. A lot of customers have an aversion to scrolling down, and when faced with ten, twenty or more sizes which all require cropping, will never find the proper size that doesn't. So they get a photo which is cropped wrong, i.e. butchered, or you lose a sale.

    Anyway, may be off track completely for what you're wanting to do, but I'm excited that they put this feature back in. It does allow you to save a lot of time if you do a lot of image level pricing.
