FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS: Outsourcing Your Editing with Photographer’s Edit

April 7, 2020

I have an embarrassing secret: I hate editing my photos. I’m very much a “get it right in camera” girl and my editing style is bright, colorful, and true-to-life. But I hate spending the time tied to my computer editing my images. So if you’re like me, outsourcing my editing is a must, and Photographer’s Edit is a lifesaver! I promise I’ll keep your secret if you keep mine! Bonus: I’ve got a coupon good for 50% off your first order of $20 or more for you! Click here or use code loribarb at checkout.

Win-Win

Outsourcing my editing has been one of the best investments in my business since it frees up my time by taking away work that I don’t enjoy doing, giving me more time to do the things I love! I call that a win-win! I’ve tried a few different services and Photographer’s Edit is my hands-down favorite!

When I get home from a wedding, I download images from my cards (backing them up in multiple places, of course!) Then I import my images into a standalone Lightroom catalog. Sidenote: if you’ve got a giant Lightroom catalog with 713,134, 511 images in it, what are you doing with your life? Haha!

A quick cull (if I’m doing that myself, more on that below) then I export the catalog with smart previews, upload the catalog to dropbox, and share the link with Photographer’s Edit. Since my preferences are on file, that’s that easy!

Choose Your Level of Service

Maybe you just need color correction or maybe you’re super swamped (hello, wedding season!) and need someone to cull your images for you in addition to color correcting. Photographer’s Edit has got you covered. I typically prefer to do my own culling since there are sometimes photos from the wedding day that don’t translate as “must keep” unless you were there. But every so often I get super duper slammed and use their culling services as well and I’ve gotta say, they’re spot on!

They also offer detailed retouching services, which I’ve never used, but it’s nice to know they exist should the need arise!

Whatever services you’re choosing, the ordering process walks you through your submission step-by-step and it couldn’t be easier! And on the rare instance that I’ve needed to reach out for support, the PE team has gotten back to me insanely quickly!

Turnaround times vary (they are human, after all!) but you’re apprised of the estimated turnaround when your order is placed and the team is awesome at updating you if anything changes. Oftentimes, my order shows up in my inbox before I expect it, which is always a happy surprise!

Surprise Your Clients with Speed

Your clients will be impressed with your quick turnaround time and that leads to awesome reviews and referrals and we all know those lead to more weddings. So give Photographer’s Edit a shot, lower your stress level, free up your time, and boost your business!
