How the service works Four steps, start to finish. Most studios are through the whole cycle inside a day. The first order takes longest, because that is where the style guide gets built; every order after it is faster. 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. 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. 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. 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. Full step-by-step guide: https://pinnacleedits.com/how-it-works ### File formats - Preferred stills: .CR2, .NEF, .ARW, .DNG (original RAW captures rather than exports) - Also accepted: .JPG, .TIFF, .PSD - Video: .MP4, .MOV, .MXF - Delivery back: client's choice of format, colour space and pixel dimensions, set once in the style guide. Output commonly JPEG, TIFF or PSD. - Transfer: Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer, or direct upload to the order system. ### Quality process Each client is assigned a dedicated team of two or three editors, plus a three-tier quality review before delivery. Revisions are free and unlimited until the client is satisfied. --- ## 4.

Details: https://pinnacleedits.com/security --- ## 7. Post-production terms, explained - **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. - **Virtual staging** — digitally adding realistic furniture to photos of empty rooms so buyers can picture the space furnished. - **Day-to-dusk** — converting a daytime exterior into a twilight shot with warm window glow and a dusk sky. --- ## 8.

What our own delivery data shows Across 6 million images delivered over seven years, the pattern is consistent. Volume work benefits most: the studios that gain the most 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. The single change worth making before outsourcing anything: write the brief first. 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. --- ## 11.
