Professional photo editing: discover 3 valid reasons why you should use it to improve your photos

New technologies have led to enormous upheavals in many areas, one of these is certainly that of photography, from the act of shooting to that of professional photo editing.

Leaving aside the obvious technological leap that has revolutionized the action of taking a photograph, we would instead like to focus on another equally important phase, that of editing or photo retouching.

This action can really be fundamental for the quality of the photo, acting in "postproduction" and usually correcting two types of problems:

on the one hand, errors during shooting, with color balances, brightness or the removal of unnecessary or disturbing details
On the other hand, by acting on the subjects of the photo themselves, through a professional photo editing operation that can remove unwanted subjects or parts or improve existing details

How professional photo editing can improve the quality of the result

There are many details that professional photo editing or Photoshop photo editing can improve. In our many years of experience we have developed, modified and corrected any type of defect or requirement, but in particular, these are the "categories" on which good professional photo editing can operate:

Technical defects: The subject and the moment are perfect. The quality of the photo is a little less due to an incorrect setting of the camera and its advanced functions. Here, a photo editing operation with Photoshop can save the situation, transforming a photo defined as "beautiful but..." into perfect
Removal of unwanted parts and correction of framing defects: how many times can a small detail ruin the entire photo? Maybe an unwanted detail appears in the photo (from the rubbish bin to the photographer's finger) or from the original photo it is not possible to give the importance it deserves to the main subject. In these phases, a skilful editing phase can remove, re-center or crop the photograph in order to really give importance to what deserves to have it.
Removal of aesthetic defects: in every photo we always want the subjects framed to be in their best condition. Here, a professional photo retouching intervention can be able to cover aesthetic defects that digital technologies and the powerful lighting usually used could highlight. From the defect in the shot (black dot, presence of light rays) to the improvement of the subject (removal of physical defects or details present in the photo).
Contour and adaptation of the photo: perfect subject but a background that leaves something to be desired? A competent professional photo retouching intervention will be able to "cut it out" from the context and reposition it on a different background or situation
Potential and creativity: the photo shoot could simply be a working basis. A skilled professional photo editing intervention can take the image and, through a wise mix of skill, experience and technological tools, use it as a basis in order to obtain something completely different, adapted for the intended use.

Difference between free online photo editing and professional photo editing

The high presence of free (or almost free) tools on the Internet could lead less experienced users to believe that some filters and automatic correction services can perform photo editing actions similar to those carried out by professionals.

In reality this is not the case, as the algorithms and filters underlying these free services (automatic or semi-automatic) are often crude and imprecise tools that work based on only one or two parameters and on the basis of those they distort the photo in the intent to improve it.

As in any other field and sector, what is free is simply only a very small part (and often not even the best) of what can be obtained by turning to a specialist. In addition to a qualitative difference in the result and given by the additional experience that those who do this activity for work can bring to the table, there are at least three other valid reasons why you should prefer professional photo editing to the free online alternative.

Three reasons to choose a professional photo editing service

First reason

What if you don't like what was created? In the end, the result of processing a photo is not only the result of technical virtuosity, but also of what the photo can give in terms of emotions and memories.

This is a very important guarantee, which you should always check is present before placing your order.

This is the difference between a professional photo editing service and a free or "patched" one. The first will always offer you this option by default, in other cases it will not be present or you will have to "fight" to get it. Your time, your memories and your expectations are at stake, taking precautions in the face of a possible unsatisfactory result is the least you should do.

If you want more advice, check that this option is not linked to various clauses; if you decide to ask for a refund you should always be entitled to it, whatever the reason. There is nothing more unpleasant than having to justify your choices.

Second reason

You know when you know what you want in terms of sensation but you can't explain it? It is something that can happen very often and in these cases only a professional with a fair amount of experience will be able to help you. Anyone who provides a professional photo editing service is a person like you, with whom you can discuss and explain yourself. A person who has skills and passion in what he does and who often manages to translate your feelings and ideas into concrete actions and results.

Third reason

But do you feel safe when you upload your personal photos to unknown or almost unknown sites?

In a historical period in which we look at privacy as one of the fundamental cornerstones of our lives, we are often too "carefree" when it comes to our photos. Relying on a professional photo editing service allows us to also keep this area under control, which is fundamental even when the photographs have nothing "secret" about them.

It is normal to have a natural concern about who will see our photos and about their possible diffusion. This is why, in addition to the natural greater level of security offered by those who do professional photo editing, Pixhub has decided to offer something more.

Among the options on request that you can find in our contract you will find the one relating to the activation of a confidentiality contract. The same will guarantee a maximum level of security for your photos regardless of whether they are personal or business.
