Hey photographers!
I'm here to help you QUICKLY and PROFESSIONALLY retouch LARGE amounts of photos.
I'm talking about hundreds or thousands of photos from a wedding, an event, a photo shoot or just your personal collection.
Who likes to do this manually for each image? I know I don't.
It sucks and it's time consuming. And I know I'm not the only one thinking that.
Story.
I started doing batch retouching when a friend of mine who's a wedding photographer asked my help. He's a pro and he's passionate about photography. Trouble is - he hates spending literally days retouching photos one by one.
Don't get me wrong - he's no stranger to Photoshop. He knows and uses Actions and Batch Processing to ease his work. He just wasn't getting good results.
So he asked my help knowing that I'm a Photoshop & Linux geek.
"Hey bro, help me up. I'm swamped with post processing and I have gigs coming up. Can you help?"
"Sure" - I said. "Let me see what I can do".
I've spent days playing with various image processing tools: Graphics Magick, Image Magick, Photoshop Actions & Batch Processing, etc.
Finally I achieved good automated batch retouching results (wrote some scripts to easy my work too).
The friend sent me Google Drive links containing hundreds of selected images (multiple gigs).
I downloaded the images, analyzed them visually, adjusted the parameters of the script, retouched them and uploaded them back to my friend.
Later he messaged me: "Bro, you saved me a sh\tload of time. *I owe you some beers :)"
Yes indeed - I saved my friend LOTS of hours of painstaking manual retouching.
And got me some beers in the process. :D
Before and After
The results are not perfect. To come close to perfection you need to manually retouch. You need to spend time. Lots of time.
But the results are GOOD ENOUGH for 95% of all photography cases.
And you get to spend MORE time doing things that really matter - such as buying expensive photography gear. :)
Ok, let's cut the fluff. Here are the before and after examples:
On the left is before, on the right is after:
Some (but not all adjustments that are applied on each photo:)
White Balance, Gray Balance, Gamma Correction, Tone correction, Saturation, Curves (with certain presets to work universally well, Vibrance, Sharpen, Noise removal, Vignette.)
Pricing
69¢/image, 500 images minimum.
89¢/image, 100 images minimum.
How it works
You send me 3 images from your photo collection.
If there are SPECIAL REQUESTS - I'll take them at NO EXTRA COST. Here are some examples of special requests:
- go easy/hard on saturation
- I need more/less sharpness
- I need more/less/none vignette
- I need a GLOW effect.
- I need a watermark on all photos.
I'll work my automated magic on them and send you back the results - FOR FREE.
If you like the results we'll start working on your photo batch.
If you don't like the results we part friends and you try your luck with someone else. You don't risk a thing.
