Frequently Asked Questions

What RAW file formats do you accept?

We process all major RAW formats including Canon (.CR2, .CR3), Nikon (.NEF), Sony (.ARW), Fujifilm (.RAF), Olympus (.ORF), Panasonic (.RW2), and more. We work with Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, and Camera Raw for professional RAW processing.

Can you match my existing editing style and presets?

Yes! Send us sample images edited in your style, and we'll replicate your aesthetic. Many photographers provide their Lightroom presets or detailed style guides. We create custom processing profiles that ensure consistency with your established brand look.

Do you provide image culling services?

Yes, culling is available as an optional add-on service. We review your shoot and select the best images based on technical quality, composition, expression, and moment. This is particularly valuable for wedding and event photographers dealing with thousands of images per shoot.

What's included in batch processing services?

Batch processing includes consistent application of color corrections, exposure adjustments, and style presets across entire shoots. While we apply batch adjustments efficiently, we also review images individually for any needed specific corrections, ensuring both efficiency and quality.

How do you handle file organization and delivery?

We organize edited images according to your specifications—by event segments, shot types, or chronological order. Files are properly named following your convention and delivered in organized folder structures ready for client gallery upload or archiving.

What's your turnaround time for wedding or large event processing?

Standard wedding processing (400-600 images) takes 4-6 business days. Large events (200-300 images) typically take 3-4 days. Rush service is available for urgent needs with expedited delivery options. Turnaround times are clearly communicated before project start.
