5. How long does a project take?

Turnaround time depends on the complexity and number of images.

Smaller projects (such as product photos) can often be delivered within 24–48 hours. Larger campaign work is scheduled based on scope and deadline.

Additional revisions may incur extra costs depending on the nature of the changes.

  • Standardized workflows and calibrated color management ensure accuracy.

  • Regular check-ins and approvals keep everything on track.

8. Do you work with RAW files and different formats?

Yes. We accept RAW, PSD, TIFF, JPEG, and other standard formats. Ideally we would ask for EIP files to keep the photographer adjustments done on set.

We handle high-resolution files with careful attention to detail preservation.

Pricing depends on several factors:

  • Complexity of retouching or compositing

  • Number of images

  • Revision rounds required

  • Urgency / turnaround time

  • Technical specifications (such as multiple outputs or color profiles)

We usually provide a quote or pilot project before starting.
