E-commerce is a business which is constantly growing. Consumers regularly go online to purchase everything from furniture to food, and in response to this, many retailers have shifted from brick and mortar stores to online shops. As a seller in the vast online marketplace, it can be a real challenge to stand out from your competition and convince potential customers to look at your items.
In general, most online consumers meticulously examine product pictures before deciding on purchasing items for sale online. Good pictures are thus essential in attracting potential buyers to the website and driving them to make a purchase.
However, as an E-business owner, it can be tedious and time-consuming to retouch and edit all your product photos. This is where Product Photo Retouching Outsourcing comes into play. By utilizing a professional photo retouching service, you gain from expert image editing services that upgrade your visuals while saving your time and capital.
What is Product Photo Retouching?
It is a way of enhancing the overall look of a product photo using the latest technology and digital techniques. Images are refreshed and transformed to become more appealing to consumers. In addition, product photo retouching can also include adding product dimensions, color correction, changing the background, and reducing unnecessary elements of a photograph — every bit of a developed product image editing service.
What Types of Product Photos Benefit Most from Professional Retouching?
Jewelry and Small Detail Products
Jewelry is one of the top in demand lists in product photography, and it helps greatly from an expert jewelry photo retouching service. Precise details, representations, detailed patterns need high end retouching, color clipping, and modern image masking to obtain exclusive image quality. Expert retouchers use perfect retouching methods to remove dust, scratches, strong glares, and unwanted shadows, resulting in spotless and refined product images. This stage of improvement can’t be duplicated through simple photo editing and usually involves a committed photo retouching service.
Fashion, Apparel, and Model-Based Photos
Clothing, accessories, and model shots usually require fashion photo retouching to produce reliable and attractive graphics for e-commerce. This involves ironing, refining textile surface, adjusting lighting balance, and maintaining color accuracy using professional color correction or a full color correction service. If models are included, portrait retouching and slight editorial retouching aid in keeping the natural beauty and at the same time enhancing the entire image. Outsourcing this kind of photo editing service ensures every garment looks its finest and all model photo matches with brand standard.
Consumer Goods and Everyday Products
Items including electronics, home goods, and beauty products need accurate product retouching to correct flaws, enhance reflections, and maintain visual consistency across all items. These usually include image editing, image retouching, and photo editing services, to guarantee accuracy and reliability. Brands that published hundreds of SKUs gains from cloud retouch workflows that boost fabrication while keeping reliability.
Lifestyle, Editorial, and Specialty Photos
Lifestyle photos, catalog image, and brand graphics usually require a mix of professional photo editing services, involving enhancement, image masking, light modifications, and background editing. Although KDCI concentrates on e-commerce, several brands also produce lifestyle campaigns requiring clean and reliable visuals, related to the demands found in wedding photo retouching, real estate photo editing, or photo restoration—without essentially marketing these services.
High-Volume Ecommerce Images
Product lines with hundreds of images—like furniture, cosmetics, accessories, or multipack items— benefit significantly from outsourced image editing services. An expert professional photo retouching company guarantees constant lighting, framing, and styling across all items. Whether captured by a brand’s professional photographer or an in-house team, outsourcing helps refine raw assets into high-quality product-ready visuals.
Why Outsource Product Photo Retouching?
1. Quick Turnaround Time and Cost Efficient
Retouching hundreds of images by yourself is time-consuming and tedious, even if you have the skills and technical knowhow to do it yourself. If you want to be more cost efficient with faster turnaround, outsourcing the task to a skilled team is the way to go.
By utilizing an outsourcing company that has dedicated photo editors who specialize in product photo editing services, you can rest easy knowing that you can get your enhanced photos within 24 hours or less. This is time-saving and reduces your operational costs, unlike maintaining an in-house team.
2. Hiring in-house versus Outsourcing to a photo editor team
Having a team of photo editors work on a hundred images is much more cost effective and efficient as opposed to hiring a dedicated in-house graphic designer (or designers). With a team handling image retouching, background removal / clipping path, color clipping, and more complex edits, you get an excellent, reliable product at a low price.
With a whole team of editors working on your images, projects that would take weeks or months with one or a handful of in-house graphics designers, can be completed in days for a much lower cost. This is extremely useful if your catalog involves several SKUs — from jewelry, fashion items, electronics, or furniture — needing consistent quality over every product image.
3. Professional Team
New photo editing trends and techniques are being developed every day, and these can and should be used to their fullest advantage to help you sell your products. By choosing the right team of skilled professionals — offering high-end retouching, image masking, color correction service, and realistic retouching — you can be sure that you will get expertly and thoughtfully retouched photos that are modern and appealing. This will give your online business the extra boost that it needs.
KDCI believes that consumers respond to the images they see. The more polished and professional your images appear, the more likely that a consumer will trust your website and your products. Product images are therefore important in drawing and keeping the interest of consumers and convincing them to make a purchase.
Knowing this, we at KDCI strive to provide the highest quality of work, for each photo that we receive. We aim to provide our clients with excellent quality work: clean, polished, and appealing to today’s consumer by means of professional photo editing services.
