Before and after
Six mixed shots, one consistent set
Six photographs came in with different backgrounds, crops and exposure. They go back as a matched set: pure white backgrounds, every product centred at the same size, and the same exposure and white balance.
What we do
How do you keep 5,000 images consistent?
At volume, the hard part is making image 4,000 match image 40. We write your spec down on the first order, apply it to every batch, and check each image against it before it goes back.
What it covers
- Ghost mannequin, background removal and clipping paths
- Product and on-model retouching, flat lays and colour matching
- Shadows, colourways and crop sizes for each sales channel
White-label is available for studios and platforms that resell editing to their own clients.
Who it's for
Who edits at this volume?
Online retailers
Thousands of SKUs a season, from many suppliers, and all of them need to sit in one grid.
Studios and content platforms
You edit for several fashion clients at once, or run images through your own pipeline and need a person to check the hard ones.
Brands on a drop calendar
Four or more drops a year of 500 images each. Each drop has to go live on the date it was announced.
