What is Photo Editing?

It's all in the name with photo editing, While modern cameras are built with a host of fancy features to make the amateur user a better shooter, the sad fact is that no amount of tech can turn all of us into Annie Leibovitz overnight. More often than not, your photos will come out blurry, out of frame, or with very unflattering lighting for your subjects. Worse, it might just have your big ol' thumb accidentally taking up a sizeable chunk of image real estate. When this happens (and the chance to re-shoot the scene is long, long gone), you'll need a visual magician known as a photo editor.

What does a photo editor do?

A photo editor modifies or enhances a photo. They help to improve the quality of the image, correct defects (like skin blemishes), remove unwanted objects (such as a telephone wire in the background), add or remove image background, or correct colors, brightness and tone for an image to make it more appealing.

Hiring a freelance editor allows you to get professional-quality results that you wouldn't get if you tried to edit it yourself. You won't have to spend hours and hours trying to find and learn the right software, tools, and filters. It saves you time and effort that you can put towards other things in your business.

Do I own the rights to work completed by a freelance photo editor?

If you provide the photos to be edited, the rights to the photos remain yours. You own the rights to the editing work done on the photo by the freelancer as well, through a "Copyright Transfer" that occurs when you accept the work done. Additionally, you can get the freelancers to sign an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) before agreeing to work with them. The NDA ensures that the freelancer will not discuss or share the job details with third parties.
