I have hundreds of photos which need to be edited. There are different folders which each contain 10-50 pictures. Each picture needs to be hand-edited using the procedure described below. I do NOT want you to run the entire folder through a bulk editing script or automated editing tool. Each MUST be hand edited and I will check every picture for quality. It will probably take you about 5-10 minutes per picture once you get used to the procedure. I have 2 actions recorded which I can send to you which makes the steps faster.
Here is the procedure:
Open the picture in PhotoShop (preferably CS3)
Select all and copy the image
Open a new document with size 8 in X 10 in, 300 pixels per inch
paste the image in the new document
zoom out twice and scale the image for best fit of subject – must keep aspect ratio
Apply the action I will provide (it will create 2 layers, make top layer invisible and select bottom layer)
Do image – Adjustment – Black & white to bottom layer
Select the best level for each adjustment color (good editing sense required here)
select the top layer and make it visible
change the top layer opacity to reach the desired effect – this part is important and will require your good editing sense
If the photo is too dark, add a brightness adjustment layer and lighten it.
save the file as a high quality jpg using the specified file name format
save the file as a photoshop file using the specified file name format
do file > automate > picture package
hit enter, let it create a multi-photo sheet
save again as a high res jpg using the specified file name format
Also, one image in each folder will need to have the same procedure but the size should be 10 in X 13 in, 300 DPI.
Each photo must be done using this exact method and each photo will be checked for quality. I will create a video tutorial showing exactly how it should be done. If you are selected for the project, you will have an opportunity to view the tutorial before accepting it. I will not send the video to everyone – just the selected bidders.
I have many folders and will probably select multiple winners. I will upload one folder to my FTP account and you can download the source images, perform the editing and upload to the same ftp account. I will check the quality and upload another folder for you. Whoever does the best quality and a fast job will get the most folders.
In the future, I expect to have thousands of folders to edit, and hope to build relationships with several people I can rely on to do these for me quickly and with great quality.
IMPORTANT: You are bidding for 100 images. I will pay you for the actual number of images edited. So if you do 50 images, I will pay you 1/2 of your bid price. If you do 300 images, I will pay you 3 times your bid price.
The folders I have right now need to be done right away, and I have to get them back within 4 hours.
