Project Overview
The Company:
US-based photography and videography company
Industry:
Photography
Services:
Real Estate Photo Editing
Business Needs
The company wanted to implement real estate photo editing and retouching for post-processing property images captured by its 20+ photographers. It wanted to engage with a real estate photo retouching partner to resolve imperfections in the raw images.
The Challenges
- Enormity of volumes of photos to be edited coupled with design work flow restrictions posed time constraints for image editors.
- Criteria based selection of only eight images from several images per property, created navigation constraints.
- The signature style of each photographer had to be kept intact.
- 3000+ images had to be delivered daily, adhering to 12-hour cycle, while identifying “not to be edited” images.
Solutions and Results
Want to streamline property photo editing & retouching?
Speak to us today- We implemented Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, and our automated editing workflow took the image through a robust QA. Here is how our solution worked.
- Using rules-driven workflow, we facilitated bulk reception of images in various formats.
- We leveraged bots to used multi-layer classification. First we classified images as residential, commercial etc. and further segregated them into architectural and interior segments.
- Images were assigned based on image complexity and editor expertise.
- Editors studied the degree of editing required and considered all parameters before starting editing.
- Our dedicated QA team used multi-layered checks to qualify post-processed images to be sent to the client.
- Alerts/notifications for unedited/inadequately edited images were generated using ML algorithms.
- The final real estate images, in line with the catalog requirements, were automatically uploaded to client FTP in JPEG form.
