How long does photo editing usually take?

Turnaround depends on the number of images and the complexity of edits. A single photo with basic colour correction might be ready in a day. A batch of fifty product photos could take a week. Rush jobs may be possible for an extra fee. Always agree on a deadline before the editor starts.

What is the difference between retouching and colour correction?

Colour correction adjusts overall tone, contrast, and colour balance. Retouching involves detailed changes like removing blemishes, smoothing skin, or eliminating objects. Retouching is more time-consuming and often costs more. Clarify which services you need so the editor can quote accurately.

How many revisions should I expect?

Most editors include a set number of revision rounds, often two or three. Additional rounds may incur extra charges. Ask upfront how many are included and what counts as a revision. Provide clear, consolidated feedback to avoid wasting rounds on small changes.

Who owns the copyright of the edited photos?

Copyright ownership should be agreed in writing before work begins. Typically, the client owns the final edited images once full payment is made. However, the editor may retain rights to the original files or use them in a portfolio. Always clarify this in your contract.

Can I get the original files back after editing?

Yes, you can request the original files, but some editors may charge a fee for returning them. It is best to keep your own backup of the originals. Discuss file handling and return policies before starting the project to avoid misunderstandings.

What file formats should I provide and expect?

Provide high-resolution files in formats like RAW, TIFF, or JPEG. Expect edited files in JPEG, PNG, or TIFF, depending on your needs. If you need layered files like PSD, ask in advance. File format requirements should be part of the initial brief.

The customer describes what they need; the editor works remotely.

What shapes the price of photo editing

Photo editing can be priced as a fixed project, an hourly rate, or a monthly retainer.
Fixed project pricing suits defined jobs like editing a set of product photos.
Hourly pricing works when the scope is uncertain or the work is ongoing.
A retainer can cover a steady stream of images each month.
The main risk is scope creep: extra images, extra revisions, or added complexity that was not in the original brief.
To avoid surprises, list exactly what you need: number of images, type of edits, resolution, and deadline.
