Whew! The bulk of the year’s weddings are done! Once you have some quality R&R over the holiday’s and new year, it will be time to review and renew your business for 2012! Winter time is historically the best time to do that!

There are many, many, many ways a professional photographer can make new strides towards improving their business. But, for the sake of this Blog post, we will focus one area of marketing that might make a big difference: updating your website, pre-plan your BLOG images, and/or collateral material to match all NEW and AWESOME images you photographed this year!

As a marketing solution, our Phase 1 and/or Phase 2 Artistic Editing services might be the perfect fit! And, so, “What’s the difference”, you ask? “What can I order, and what do I need to submit/do in order to get these services?”

Let us take a quick moment to explain the differences:

Phase One Artistic Edits – $3.00 Per image

A Phase 1 Artistic Edit elevates an image’s vibe and appearance far above the rest. This service is perfect for “Best Of,” Slideshows, and BLOG posts. We will take an accurately color processed image and apply professional creative saturation and contrast maneuvers, add vignetting, perform basic dodging & burning appropriations, and add other basic special effects and actions – in the effort to support your brand and signature. We can choose the images, or you can!

Check out the detailed example below!

Quick Steps to placing an order for Phase 1 Artistic Editing:

1. Ensure you have chosen your preferred Artistic Edit profile setting
2. Select that you want your “Images processed to JPG”
3. Choose Phase 1 Artistic Editing.
4. Make any custom image # choices/requests

Phase Two Artistic Edits – $60.00 for first hour

Phase 2 Artistic Edits encompass all other clinical image manipulations and enhancements. If you would like professional press print sharpening, cropping, straightening, facial retouching, swapping or opening eyes, hair retouching or removal, blemish removal, skin smoothing, replacement or removal of objects (i.e., signs, straps, cars, distracting elements, etc.), resizing, detailed color & saturation channel adjustments, or clinical burning & dodging, etc…then this is the service for you!

If you are thinking about using our Phase 2 Artistic Edit Service, we recommend taking advantage of our “Phase 2 Cost Survey”. This allows you to share with us exactly what you want and we can provide you a cost quote before you ever submit your job! CLICK HERE to get a quote!!
