IMAGE EDITING
INTRODUCTION
THIS IS THE GENERAL PROCESS I USE WHEN EDITING IMAGE FILES
NOTE: All image editing work is accomplished using Adobe Photoshop CC and/or Adobe Lightroom CC.
STEP #1: REVIEW THE PROJECT SCOPE
The first step is for me to understand the scope of the project. This includes understanding the following:
- Project purpose
- Target audience
- Timeline (when the project is due)
- What type of images I will receive from you (for example: JPG images with resolution of 1920x1080p)
STEP #2: DOWNLOAD / RECEIVE RAW IMAGE FILES
I can download / receive the raw image files in a number of ways based on your preference. It is best if you zip the image files. Some common ways for me to receive image files are:
- Dropbox (most common)
- Google Drive shared link
- Server download link
STEP #3: REMOVE UNWANTED IMAGE ELEMENTS INCLUDING SCRATCHES
When elements of an image need to be removed, I use Adobe Photoshop CC.
- Create copy of original image
- Remove unwanted image elements
- Fill in area that was removed to make it appear natural
STEP #4: COLOR-CORRECT or ENHANCE the IMAGE
When a photo or image needs to be color-corrected, I use Adobe Lightroom CC.
- Create copy of original image
- Color correct as necessary
