E-Commerce Photo Editing

Clean, consistent product imagery for catalogues and online stores, with colour correction and colour consistency, background and shadow refinement, and delivery-ready sizing when specified.

E-commerce photo editing prepares product photography for catalogues, product pages and online stores. The priorities are accuracy and consistency: the product should look as it does in real life, and every image in a range should share the same colour, background and finishing.

The work covers apparel photographed on models, still-life and flat-lay product images, and colourway sets. Delivery-ready sizing can be applied when it is specified in the brief.

PROJECT DETAILS

Complimentary test edit: Prospective clients can send up to two images with their instructions for a complimentary test edit. Test edits are completed around our current production schedule; additional images, or changes beyond the original test instructions, may be treated as separate work.
Files we accept: JPEG, TIFF, PSD and common RAW formats such as CR2, CR3, NEF and ARW. Other formats can be discussed if required.
Sharing files: WeTransfer, Google Drive, Dropbox or another agreed service. Finished work is delivered the same way.
Corrections and revisions: If we miss an instruction that was clearly included in the original brief, we correct it at no additional charge. Substantial additional work, a significant change in creative direction, new requirements or work outside the agreed scope may be quoted separately.

Detail refinement

Product shape, texture, stitching and colour are kept as they are. Retouching removes dust, marks and distractions rather than changing the product, so the image remains an honest representation of the item.

Who this is for

Brands, retailers and photographers preparing product imagery for online stores and catalogues — from a single product to a full range. Apparel on models, still-life products and flat-lays can be edited to one consistent standard.

How the process works

Send your images, a short brief and any references, along with your delivery requirements.
PIX ALTER reviews the images and brief and confirms a realistic timeline and price for that specific project.
The images are retouched to the agreed brief, keeping the character of the original photography.
Finished files are delivered in the agreed format.

Where possible, include a colour reference for each product, along with the background colour, image dimensions, margins and file format your store requires. Specifications agreed at the start avoid re-exporting a whole batch later. The Journal article What Makes a Retouching Workflow Reliable? covers briefs, file organisation and delivery specifications in more detail. Turnaround, file formats and revisions are covered in the studio FAQ.

Questions about
this service.

What does e-commerce photo editing include?

It includes product retouching and cleanup, colour and tonal adjustment, and background refinement, so product photography looks clean and consistent for online use.

Can multiple product images be edited consistently?

Yes — keeping colour, tone and background treatment consistent across a full set of product images is a core part of this service.

Can product colours be adjusted?

Yes. Colour is adjusted so the product matches its real-world appearance as closely as the source photograph allows. A colour reference for each product makes the match more reliable.

Can backgrounds be refined?

Yes. Backgrounds can be cleaned and evened and shadows refined to suit your store. Tell us the background colour and the shadow style you use, so every image in the range matches.
