01
Lightroom Classic shooters
If your galleries are built in Lightroom Classic, the finished work comes back in a catalog, as non-destructive adjustments you can still change.
Lightroom Classic Workflow
Lightroom Catalog Editing Service
Send a Lightroom Classic catalog with Smart Previews. Your personal editor edits it by hand and returns a finished catalog, ready to reconnect to your RAW files and export.
Who It Is For
Built for Photographers Who Work in Lightroom Classic
The edit happens inside your own catalog, so the result stays editable and fits the way you already work.
02
Photographers with a full season
Hand the grading of a wedding to someone else and use the time for shooting, clients or rest.
03
Anyone who wants one consistent look
Your assigned personal editor learns your references and preferences, so each wedding is edited against the same profile.
04
Photographers worldwide
We work with wedding and portrait photographers no matter where they are based, and send an email invoice with international payment options.
How It Works
From Your Catalog to a Finished Catalog
01
Build Smart Previews
In Lightroom Classic, select the photos for the wedding, build Smart Previews, export them as a catalog and compress it into a .zip archive. Our guide to Smart Previews in Lightroom Classic shows how.
02
Upload and place the order
Drop the archive into the uploader on the Send Your Photos page and submit the order form, with reference images, presets and notes about your style.
03
Your personal editor edits by hand
Your assigned editor works image by image inside the catalog: color, exposure, highlights, shadows, noise reduction and sharpening, to your specifications.
04
Receive the completed catalog
Within 5-7 business days, or faster with a priority tier, you receive a completed Lightroom catalog. Reconnect it to your master RAW folder and export. Client Care revisions cost $0.
Before and After
Drag the Slider to Compare
Each comparison shows the same photograph before and after editing. See more on the Samples page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to send?
Prepare a catalog with Smart Previews in Lightroom Classic, compress it into a .zip archive, drop it into the uploader on the Send Your Photos page and submit the order form.
What do I get back?
A completed Lightroom catalog (.lrcat). Open it, reconnect to your master RAW folder, and the non-destructive adjustments are ready for immediate export.
Do I have to send my RAW files?

Color grading is $0.20 per image and the minimum order is 50 images ($10). Standard turnaround is 5-7 business days. Priority turnaround is available: 5 days (+30%), 4 days (+60%), 3 days (+70%) or 2 days (+100%), calculated on the order price.
Can culling, cropping and retouching happen in the same catalog?
Yes. They are optional add-ons performed manually by your personal editor inside your Lightroom Classic catalog: culling $0.04 per input image, basic skin retouch $0.07 per image, crop and straighten $0.07 per image.
