Our own standard for every image we deliver.
Pinnacle Edits is a global post-production company. We are headquartered in Mumbai, India, and were founded in . Since then we have delivered more than 6 million finished images. Our clients are in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the UAE, Germany and beyond. The work covers real estate photo editing, wedding photo editing, portrait and product retouching, and video editing.
We work with professional photographers, property agents and brokers, ecommerce brands, marketing agencies and studios of every size. Ten portraits or ten thousand listings a month — the workflow is the same. Each account gets a dedicated team of two or three retouchers. They learn your style and hold it steady across every delivery.
Handing post-production to an outside team buys back time. You get faster turnaround and lower fixed overhead. More to the point, you get your evenings back for shooting and for running the business. We guarantee 24-hour delivery on most photo work. Revisions are free until you are satisfied. Files are covered by NDAs, data practices aligned with GDPR, and encrypted transfer.
What our own delivery data shows
Across 6 million images delivered over seven years, the pattern is consistent. Volume work benefits most. The studios who see the biggest gain are the ones repeating the same edit across hundreds of frames — property brackets, wedding galleries, product catalogues. Bespoke, one-off retouching benefits least.
The variable that matters most is the brief. Accounts that supply a written style guide and three or four reference images settle into a stable look within one or two orders. Accounts that send files with no reference need more revision rounds before the output matches what they had in mind. That is the single change we would suggest to anyone starting out: write the brief first.
Two standards shape how we publish and deliver. Structured data on this page follows the Schema.org ProfessionalService vocabulary. Our image delivery specs follow Google Search Central’s image best practices. Files we return are ready to publish as they arrive.
Trusted by studios and agencies in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE & Germany.
The Process
How outsourcing actually works
Four steps, start to finish. Most studios are through the whole cycle inside a day: files in, 24 hours of editing, files back. The first order takes the longest, because that is where your style guide gets built from three or four reference images. Every order after it is faster, and most accounts settle into a stable look within one or two orders.
Step 1: Send us the files
Upload a folder through the order system, or share a Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer link. RAW files are fine. Most studios send a whole shoot at once.
Step 2: Describe the look you want
Send three or four already-edited images as reference, or write a short brief. Your team builds a style guide from it and reuses it on every later order.
Step 3: A named team does the work
Two or three editors are assigned to your account. The same people handle your work each time, which is what keeps a batch of 800 images looking consistent.
Step 4: Review and request changes
Files come back within 24 hours for most photo services. Revisions are free and unlimited, so flag anything that is off and it comes back corrected.

Our Valued Clients
The studios below send us work every week. Most arrived the same way: one trial shoot, then a standing arrangement. They span wedding and event photography, property marketing, ecommerce catalogues, jewellery, and video production, across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the UAE and India.
A typical account: a two-photographer property firm sends 40 to 60 listings a month. Each listing is 25 to 35 bracketed frames. That is roughly 1,800 images a month, handled by the same three editors, returned overnight. Nobody on their side opens Lightroom.
Award-Winning Excellence
Recognized Globally
Six industry awards between 2023 and 2025, from bodies covering wedding photography, corporate services and business innovation. Awards are not the reason to hire a post-production team, and we would not claim otherwise. They are useful as one more outside signal alongside named client reviews and work you can inspect yourself.
A fairer test: ask any studio for a trial batch on your own files, then compare the returns side by side. That tells you more in a day than a badge does. Our full before-and-after portfolio is there for exactly that reason.

Plain English
Post-production terms, explained
The words that show up on a quote. Worth knowing before you brief anyone, in house or out.
- Culling
- Picking the keepers out of a shoot before any editing happens. A wedding might come in at 3,000 frames and go out at 600.
- HDR blending
- Combining several exposures of the same room into one frame so the window view and the shadowed corner are both visible. Standard practice in property photography.
- Clipping path
- A hand-drawn vector outline that separates a product from its background. Cleaner edges than an automatic selection, which is why catalogue work still uses it.
- Frequency separation
- A retouching technique that treats skin tone and skin texture as separate layers, so blemishes can go without the skin turning plastic.
- Ghost mannequin
- Compositing the inside of a garment into a shot so the clothing keeps its shape with no mannequin visible.
- Colour grading
- Setting the overall colour mood of a video after the technical correction is done. Grading is the creative pass; correction is the neutral one.
What to send, and in what format
Send the original captures rather than exports where you can. A quick reference:
- Preferred stills:
.CR2.NEF.ARW.DNG- Also accepted:
.JPG.TIFF.PSD- Video:
.MP4.MOV.MXF- Delivery back:
- your choice of format, colour space and pixel dimensions, set once in your style guide.
Selling on a marketplace? Check the platform’s own spec before you brief anyone — Amazon, for one, publishes hard requirements for main images. Amazon Seller Central image requirements is the authoritative source, and our summary of Amazon image requirements covers what it means in practice.
When you should keep it in house
Outsourcing is not the right answer for every studio. We would rather say so here than three invoices in. Four cases where another perspective wins.
Your edit is the product
Fine-art and editorial photographers often sell a look that only they can produce. If the grade is the signature, handing it over rarely survives the first delivery.
You shoot under about 200 images a month
Below that volume, briefing and reviewing can cost more time than editing would have. Outsourcing pays off on volume, not on principle.
Turnaround is measured in minutes
Event photographers printing on site, or sports shooters filing to a wire, need frames out in minutes. No outsourcing model, ours included, beats an on-site laptop.
The files cannot leave your control
Some legal, medical and government work simply cannot be transferred to a third party, whatever the NDA says. Check your contract before you check our pricing.
On the other hand, look for the opposite pattern. The same edit repeated across hundreds of frames. A backlog that eats your evenings. A busy season you cannot staff for. That is the shape of work an outside team handles well, and past roughly 200 images a month the arithmetic starts to favour it: a 600-frame wedding gallery colour-corrected at $0.12 an image comes to about $72, against however many hours the same pass would take you. Weighing the two properly is the point of our outsourcing versus in-house comparison, which runs the numbers both ways.

In Summary
Key takeaways
- Outsourced post-production suits high-volume, repeatable work: property shoots, wedding galleries, product catalogues.
- A written style guide and three or four reference images matter more to consistency than any software setting.
- Ask for a dedicated team rather than a queue. The same editors on your account is what keeps a large batch consistent.
- Published rates start at $0.12 per image for colour correction and $15 per hour for video work.
- Below roughly 200 images a month, editing in house is usually still the cheaper option.
Our recommendation
Do not move a whole studio in one go. Send one real shoot — a full property set or a single wedding gallery — with three reference images and a two-line brief. You will know inside a day whether the returned files match your standard. That is what our free trial exists for, and it is the cheapest way to answer the question.
