Q: HOW DO I SUBMIT FILES?
A: I work with Lightroom catalogues and exporting and sending the catalogues is simple. I give full instructions to each client when ordering, the process includes creating Smart Previews within Lightroom and uploading to a private Dropbox account shared with me. After testing out several methods used by the big name Post Processing companies, I have found my method to be the most user friendly and efficient.
Q: HOW DO LIGHTROOM SMART PREVIEWS WORK?
A: The newest version of Lightroom allows for compressed previews of RAW images to be embedded
directly into the catalog. This allows a full selection of RAW, non-destructive editing to be done without
actually having the original images. For you, this means:
You only need to send the exported catalog with the smart previews.
The data is 8 times smaller than the original images.
Upload is faster and a huge savings in bandwidth.
The ability to make further changes yourself to the images I have edited for you, should you wish.
Q:HOW DO I RECEIVE COMPLETED FILES?
A: Depending on your preference, I can send you the completed Lightroom files for you to make further adjustments or I can send you the finalised images in JPEG format ready to send to the client. I am completely happy to work with you to decide which is the most suitable way for you to receive the files.
Q: HOW DO YOU EDIT IN MY STYLE?
A: I begin by reviewing your images on your website and blog, I ask you to send me some sample images that you have edited and then I edit some samples of your work that you can approve (or request changes to) before we start on any order to make sure I have your style defined. I ask that you share your preset preferences with me and I also have many of the popular well known presets from VSCO, Mastin, Ben Sasso and RNI. Finally, should you ever have concerns about an order, simply notify me right away and I will happily tweak the images until you are completely happy.
