When there comes
a number of options, it also has a chance to create some confusion too. Same
happens to the photo editing industry. Selecting an outsourcing company for
photo editing gas its pros and cones. Facts should be kept in mind and checked while
contacting and dealing with the chosen company. That makes the difference,
whether it will be a successful harvest or a mess.
Software
companies who build Photo Editing tools are always in a try to create products
that will give the best output. Photoshop Pen tool is one of the greatest inventions
that allows producing accurate clipping paths and makes the background smoothly
separated. Background Eraser is another tool which allows working on the hairy
area. Both These tools are well-known for their flawless performance. From a
business stand point, you will find only one issue that these tools can only be
operated manually. That means you have to engage some qualified Photoshop Expert
to use the tools and get the best results. There is almost no chance to have a
good result unless you are an expert. Here comes one probable solution that if
you can engage some who will be cost efficient and skilled as well. Hiring
professionals is not cost efficient. Setting up an well equipped studio also
demands a lot of cost. Hence, Outsourcing can be a very good answer if the cons
are carefully avoided.
To speak
about the cons of outsourcing, first comes the question of a sensitive sync
between the both parties: client and the outsourcing company. In many occasions,
the company fails to understand the client’s exact requirements, or the client
fails to convey them properly. There are many other points which should be
checked out properly while contacting any outsourcing firm. Here are some steps
which will let you to take the best advantage out of them:
1.
Give the right brief and in details. The right
brief will bring the best result. Many busy customers/clients tend to ignore
this important part or otherwise provide some brief descriptions. It may create
confusions. Please make a detail and good brief over email, chat or phone. I
recommend email as it is more reliable and also the record is kept too. So
better be on the safe side and express them in detail.
2.
Services can be called in different names due to
regional and geographical reasons. Such as Clipping Path is also known as vector
based path or a way to isolate the object or remove the background
in many places. Don’t worry about the technical names. If you have explained
them what you need, they will be able to provide that. Make a clear explanation
of what you want to do with your picture, what the final results should look
like. Professionals will understand that very well.
3.
A lot rests on good and clear communication since
distance is no issue while contacting an online company. Regional and local
dialects can be an problem and create confusions. Most of your outsourcing
partner will not be a native English speaker. Phone conversations may have these
issues. Once again I recommend a written form of communication for better understanding.
4.
Be specific while mentioning the required services.
Photo editing companies usually provide many additional services like
retouching, color correction, manipulations, vector conversions etc. So pick
the right service from them and let them know. Also do not hesitate to ask for
suggestions if you are not sure about your requirements since consultants are usually
more experienced professionals and they can even suggest a better solution.
5.
Always keep a good knowledge about the time
difference between your zone and their zone.
