editing services

Hi there! I’m Lane and I’ve been in business for 7 years now.

I know first hand how time intensive editing can be. I also know sometimes you need a little help. I’ve had to outsource my editing before and was so thankful I was able to! You can do it all, but you can’t do it all all at once. I have experience with many different types of editing styles, let me help when you need something taken off your plate!

US based + helping photographers worldwide

the process

get your files ready + build smart previews
After importing your raws into LR Classic, edit at least 1 anchor photo from each scene you want edited. That’s what I’ll use to match the rest of the photos to. In the Library tab, select all the photos and click Library > Previews > Build 1:1 Previews.
export the catalog
Select all photos and click File > Export as Catalog. On the export screen, name your catalog with your name in the ‘Save As’ box and check the boxes next to Build / Include Smart Previews and Include Available Previews.
send the catalog
Zip the folder with the exported catalog and send to me through Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer. The folder should have 4 files in it; the catalog, a ‘catalog name’ Previews.lrdata file, a ‘catalog name’ Smart Previews.lrdata file, and a ‘catalog name’.lrcat-data file. To zip it, right click the folder and click ‘compress’.
proofs
Within 48 business hours, I’ll send you samples for approval before editing the full catalog. You can tell me any notes you have or any changes/tweaks you want to make.
delivery
My turnaround time is within 10 business days (unless a rush order is requested). Once the balance is paid, I’ll send you your zipped catalog.
