Process

Photo Editing Process: From Start to Finish
1. Initial Contact and Consultation The process begins with a discussion about your project needs. Reach out to me to describe the type of photo editing or composition you require. During this consultation:
We’ll discuss the scope of your project (basic edits, advanced editing, or creative compositions).
I’ll gather information about the purpose of the edits (e.g., marketing, personal use, branding).
I’ll explain how pricing and turnaround time vary depending on the complexity of the work.
This step ensures I understand your expectations, and it gives you a clear picture of what I can deliver.
2. Review of Supplied Content Most quotes are based on content you provide for editing (e.g., images or assets).
You’ll supply high-resolution images or raw files for optimal results.
For advanced compositions, additional content may be required (e.g., stock images, textures, or elements).
If stock content is necessary, I will identify suitable options from trusted libraries and share them with you for approval before proceeding. Any additional costs for stock images are vetted and approved by you upfront.
3. Project Proposal and Quote Once I have a clear understanding of your requirements and the materials provided, I’ll prepare a detailed project proposal. This includes:
A tailored quote based on the project scope.
Estimated turnaround time.
Details on included deliverables (e.g., number of edited images, file formats, and rounds of revisions).
You’ll have the opportunity to review and approve the proposal before we proceed.
4. Editing and Creation Process After approval, I begin work on your project.
For Basic Photo Editing, I focus on adjustments like color correction, cropping, retouching, and enhancements.
For Advanced Editing, I handle more detailed work, including object removal, background changes, and restoration.
For Image Composition and Creative Enhancements, I create custom composites, apply stylistic transformations (e.g., painting or sketch effects), and craft visuals tailored to your theme.
5. Revisions and Feedback I offer multiple rounds of revisions for most projects to ensure your satisfaction.
After the initial edits, I’ll provide proofs for your review.
You’ll have the opportunity to request adjustments, ensuring the final product aligns with your vision.
Revisions are included as part of the agreed project scope to refine the work as needed.
6. Final Delivery Once you’re satisfied with the edits, I’ll prepare and deliver the final files.
Files can be provided in requested formats such as JPG, PNG, or TIFF, optimized for web, print, or specific platforms.
Source files (e.g., PSDs) can be included if needed for an additional fee or as part of the project agreement.
High-resolution and web-ready versions are supplied as required.
7. Follow-Up and Support After the project is completed, I remain available for any additional questions or adjustments. Whether you need further edits, assistance with file formats, or additional projects, I’m here to help.
