Professional photo editing services can help reduce the workload for a busy photographer and help shorten the wait for images to get delivered to clients. The photographer can use the service several ways, so finding the right editing service for you and your business is critical. 

Light Retouching and Editing

A photographer that shoots weddings or portraits will often use a photo editing service to make minor adjustments to their images. The photographer can determine how much they will allow and the type of edits that are okay for their pictures. Anytime the editor feels something significant needs changing or fixing in the photo; the editor will contact the photographer to get permission to make the edits. 

Enhancing Light in an Image

Many times the photo editor will make changes to an image that include light enhancements. The photographer may not want major changes to the picture, but if the light did not entirely fall the way they wanted it to, enhancing the light that is in the image or adding a little more can take the picture from good to great very quickly. 

The editing service often makes the changes to the image and then forwards the proof to the photographer for final approval before any prints are made and delivered to the client. Some photographers have long-term relationships in place with photo editing services, and they have set parameters as to what edits to make and when the photographer needs to approve the edits or not. 

Speeding Up Deliveries

If the photographer is extremely busy, they may not have time to do all the editing for their images, and they need an editing service that is quick and reliable. Editing services should streamline the process for these photographers so they can keep shooting more images and let the photo editing service deal with the edits. 

For a wedding photographer, the wedding season can be so busy that editing their images may have to wait. While most couples are aware of this when they book the photographer, the faster the images are delivered, the happier the client will be, and the more likely they are to either hire the photographer again for another event or recommend them to a friend or family member that needs a photographer. 

Not every image needs changing, but often the edits that happen for wedding or portrait pictures are simple retouches to fix some article of clothing or remove something or someone from the pictures that was not intended to be in there.
