How do I define the scope of my photo retouching project?
Clearly outline what you need to be done. Mention the number of photos and the specific retouching techniques you want. This helps the freelancer know what to do and how much time it will take.
What kind of edits should I include in my retouching request?
Think about what changes are the most important. Decide if you want just basic color correction or advanced edits like background removal. Be as clear as possible about your needs.
How do I share my photo files securely with the retoucher?
Use secure file transfer tools to send your images. Platforms like Contra often provide ways to share the files safely. Make sure your files are in the right format and clearly labeled.
What is a good timeline for photo retouching projects?
Discuss with your freelancer how long the edits should take. Smaller projects might take a few days, while bigger projects may take longer. Make sure to set a realistic deadline.
Should I request samples of previous work for comparison?
Yes, ask for past work samples to get an idea of the freelancer's style and skill. This helps ensure their expertise aligns with your needs. It's a simple way to avoid surprises later.
How can I ensure the final images meet my expectations?
Provide feedback at different stages of the project. Keep communication open and ask for updates if needed. This helps the freelancer know if they're on the right track.
How do the local regulations in California affect my project?
