Definition
The practice of delegating image post-production work to an external specialist studio rather than handling it in-house. Outsourcing photo editing allows photographers, e-commerce brands, and retailers to scale their editing capacity on demand, access specialist skills (jewelry retouching, ghost mannequin, HDR), and reduce turnaround times without the overhead of permanent editing staff. Most professional photo editing studios offer 24-hour turnaround and per-image pricing.
