Can I still send images to the normal PhotoUp editing team?
Absolutely! With a Dedicated Editor, you have the ability to assign batches to your editor(s) OR send images to the PhotoUp editing team.
This option is available in any account that has a Dedicated Editor.
What type and size of files are delivered once the edits are complete?
At PhotoUp we offer you three free export options in our uploader allowing you to have your files delivered at full size, high res, web res, and with or without a watermark.
We also offer three file options:
JPG 70 is a slightly more compressed version of a normal JPG. It is perfectly fine for all web use and most print use.
JPG 100 is as uncompressed as a JPG file can be, meaning it is both larger in size and contains more data. Choose this file type if you want a higher quality image for larger prints or if you wish to do any additional editing to your images after you receive them back from us.
TIFF files are uncompressed images, containing all the data from all levels of editing that has been done. This is the file type you should select if you want the maximum amount of flexibility for future editing.
What software does my Dedicated Editor use when editing photos?
At PhotoUp, we use the following software when editing your images:
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Lightroom
- LR/Enfuse
With a Dedicated Editor, you are able to add additional software to your editors workstation. However, software that requires an additional expense will be billed at the expense of the client.
Do I need to use the PhotoUp system for uploading?
With a Dedicated Editor, you can use the PhotoUp uploader or choose another system to upload photos directly to your editor.
