Case Study: Rui Santos Costa achieves faster client collaboration and cost savings with Hightail

Balancing art and commerce with photographer Rui Santos Costa

OpenText | Hightail helped New Jersey fine art photographer Rui Santos Costa solve a common small‑business challenge: balancing creative fine‑art projects with time‑consuming commercial work. Rui needed a way to deliver high‑ resolution images, manage client proofing and feedback, and protect usage rights without endless site visits, phone calls, or cumbersome FTP transfers.

Hightail Spaces gave him a single, secure place to share images, gather comments, upload revisions, and control downloads with access codes and “comment only” settings. The result: fewer proof‑print trips, lower costs, faster client approvals, clearer licensing control and noticeably more productive post‑processing — and consistently positive client feedback.
