From source asset inspection to calibrated final export, every project follows a disciplined five-stage pipeline engineered for commercial consistency, visual quality control, and deadline certainty.
01Phase 01
Brief Review & Scope Calibration
We audit your creative brief, asset volume, retouching grade (cleanups vs. high-frequency skin/beauty vs. multi-plate composites), creative references, moodboards, hard delivery deadlines, and required multi-channel deliverables.
What Clients Can Expect
Written scope summary, turnaround schedule, and transparent fee estimate confirmed before asset ingest begins.
02Phase 02
Source Inspection & Asset Ingestion
Pre-flight technical audit of source files across RAW/DNG, 16-bit uncompressed TIFF, layered PSD, or high-res JPEG. Color-profile verification (sRGB, Adobe RGB, Display P3), resolution checking, and systematic folder/SKU asset organization.
What Clients Can Expect
We flag source-file or colour-profile questions before retouching starts and confirm any requirements with you.
03Phase 03
Non-Destructive Retouching & QC
Execution using non-destructive adjustment layers: frequency separation for organic skin texture retention, micro-dodge and burn, color harmonisation, silhouette refinement, and ghost mannequin apparel alignment. Visual quality control for multi-asset batch consistency and strict compliance with approved brand references.
What Clients Can Expect
Retouching is guided by the approved references, with attention to image consistency and natural photographic texture.
04Phase 04
Client Proofing & Revision Rounds
We share proofs for review and collect feedback against the agreed brief. The included revision scope is confirmed in the project quote.
What Clients Can Expect
A clear review and approval step before final files are prepared.
05Phase 05
Master Export & Delivery Handoff
Files are prepared to the agreed names, formats, and colour profiles. Delivery arrangements are confirmed as part of the project scope.
What Clients Can Expect
Final files are organized for the agreed campaign or catalogue and prepared to the specifications in the brief.
