Q. And
which services are 'paid', not 'free'?
A. Our 'Paid' services
include: Restoration, Background Change, Photo Merge, Beauty
Retouch, Look Younger / Thinner / Taller, Replace Face / Eyes,
Change Attire, etc. Basically, an edit that requires advanced
skill & extended labour is not free. (Submit
an assignment to find out cost. It's more affordable than
you think!)

Q. Is
the 'free editing' offer open to everyone?
A. The 'free editing' offer is not open to those who have
the skills or ability to do the job themselves. Due to limited
human resources, we would like to benefit only those who cannot
carry out the edits themselves.
Q. Do
you actually welcome free assignments?
A. We most certainly do! Free assignments have always
been priority, and we have hundreds of e-mails from people
expressing their gratitude for the work delivered to them,
free of cost or any other obligation.
Q.
How many photos can be sent for
free editing / retouching?
A. No more than two per week please. (Please scroll
upwards to see what comes free.)
Q. Would
you work on a previously edited image?
A. As a general rule, we do not. Please send
an original, unedited image.
Q. Can
a 'good' image be enhanced?
A. Images which you perceive as acceptable quality,
can in most cases be tweaked to look substantially better.
This would fall in our 'free' category unless we are dealing
with large image sizes or bulk quantity.
Q. Do
you have special rates for volume / regular assignments?
A. Yes, we offer a substantial discounts on volume
/ regular assignments because there is mutual benefit in doing
so.
Q. Do
you negotiate on rates you have quoted?
A. If you explore the market, you will see that our
prices are much lower than what's going.
Q Would
you consider undertaking free, what falls in your paid category?
A. We do so sometimes, on humanitarian grounds.
Q. What
is your turnaround time?
A. 12 - 36 hours on an average. Complex / bulk assignments
need about 7 - 21 days.
Q. What
is your focal strategy while editing a photograph?
A. We follow a very simple strategy -- "avoid
over-correction and try to make the picture look as natural
as possible". If the edit is detected easily, the
purpose is defeated...
Q. Does
photo editing / retouching require special human skills or
does the software do it all?
A. Photo editing / retouching is quite like working
manually on a painting on canvas. The difference being that
you have greater flexibility with the types of tools at your
disposal, quick correction of mistakes, the facility to make
a composite of two or more images and the ability to add special
effects. But the apparently 'automated tasks' are seldom just
single-click operations. Most of the advanced work is done
by using digital tools which are sophisticated clones of conventional
paint tools.
Q.
Aren't there any websites where
people can carry out edits themselves?
A. Yes, there are several websites that offer
you automated programs to help you edit and add effects to
your photos. Typically, you can correct basic things such
as brightness and contrast, rotate image, resize, compose,
add frame etc. You will have to work within the bounds of
a certain number of pre-sets defined by the program.
Q. Do
you have a policy protecting the privacy of the photos edited
by you?
>> Photographs sent by customers for photo editing or
retouching are NEVER shared or published on this website.
>> Resultant photographs, after photo editing or retouching,
are also NEVER shared or published on this website.
>> The textual content of customer's requirement is
NEVER shared or published on this website, or communicated
to a third-party. This holds good in the case of 'paid' jobs
as well as 'free' jobs.
If we end up not carrying out a requested job, the spirit
of our privacy policy stands — no photographs or content
of requirement is ever used, shared or published. The assurance
made under is irrevocable. Please click
