This is a broad challenge that has helped Outsource Experts, Bangladesh to get clients for interesting photo editing offers. The company has taken the opportunity of easy communications, a vital link to keep clients happy. The online support system brings a steady flow of work to the Dhaka in-house studio daily.

Ever since the concept of online photo studios began, it has become a boon for the firms and their clients. The digital platform allows the flexibility to operate seamlessly. First it was a challenge to get the clients but now with easy communication systems a vital link has been established. Outsource Experts BD is physically based in UK, production site Dhaka, Bangladesh. But it caters to a wide cross section of clients worldwide. It relies on a three-pronged system that works in its favor and that is:

• 24 hours email and online chat support
• Quick turnaround
• Huge amount of image processing capacity everyday

Email and chat support

“For an online business like ours 24 hour email support and online chat is extremely important,” says Atiqur, the figurehead of the company. He has been in this business for long to understand how to keep clients happy. He has been instrumental in ensuring that live chats allow the clients to tracking of their jobs especially if they are urgent. They may be miles away from the studio but will be just a ping away. The studio operates 24 x7. So timing is never an issue. A brief can be sent with pictures anytime. The CEO also explains, “It’s not just the online contact that enables the client to preview the brief. But uploading the edited pictures in Hi-speed also counts. This essential back up service keeps regular clients satisfied.” Keeping the basic need of uploading and loading of heavy photo files, the website is capable of handling it with high-speed regularity. Being update is a necessity to keep clients update on the way the firm can service them for emergency jobs. Outsource Experts BD has a huge facility to handle many clients simultaneously. Email is the best option to contact the consultant who replies instantly. Once the trial run is approved, the online chat is available for changes in the brief.

Quick Turnaround Time

If it were not for speed, the entire process of editing would be defeated. Hence the challenge for the editors lies in doing a good job in least amount of time. That is the key to doing successful photo processing jobs. Atiqur mentions here, “When the client sees that a job is accomplished soon, they have trust in our ability.” Outsource Experts BD has been successfully in executing several digital imaging artworks. Every skilled technician is able to work within the deadlines. Unless of course, the editing job is very complex and requires more time to complete. When it comes to photo masking it can be done instantly. But image stitching will consume a few hours more. With an email update, the client knows the working timelines.

Bulk Image processing

Outsource Experts BD is big enough to cater to bulk photo editing. Daily work is executed for several global clients. This should give an idea of the speed at which various jobs are done. And at no time the quality is compromised. This company started as a smaller firm, which helped clients with lesser budgets. With recession everywhere even the big companies are looking at the firm with interest.

In the initial stages it can be intimidating to use the quick mask. But once the secrets are learnt, Photoshop is like an intimate friend and reveals it all…even to beginners. Designers who are at any level of their skills or experience can understand it.

The recently introduced Photoshop CS5 has all the editing tools that can help even an apprentice. For a new comer, the best thing would be to first scroll through the entire apparatus and its offerings. Once familiarized with the structure, it begins to reveal its magic to the user. Take a look at the panels and palette. This will help build the confidence and stack the images that need to be worked on. It is like creating a space ‘up and around’, like a preparation ground. While it is easy for the apprentice to get overwhelmed with the number of tools that can be used for editing, the need of masking can be a spoiler. It takes time to adjust to this technique. It can be mastered over a period of time with different projects. One can then learn the basics, quick masking for layer adjustment or for clipping path. Depending on the image that lands up on the editing table the designer can manipulate which masks will be useful.

What is Quick Mask?

Certainly it does not happen in a jiffy nor does it conjure the final image as espresso coffee.   It is actually a method whereby the editor needs to select the subject, which needs to be actually masked. It is not intended to conceal or overtly expose any aspect of the image in particular. This tool is usually used when difficulty arises in using the lasso or marquee. Take a shortcut on the keyboard and press “Q” to start the project. Black color can be used for the foreground for the painting. Since painting is going to be used, the brushes of varying hardness and thickness can be selected also. The image area that needs masking can be brushed up. It can either be isolated completely or the rough edges can be refined later. When “Q” is pressed again the area looks selected (notice the marching ants). Copy, cut and paste where every required. The recipe was simple and quick.

The quick mask is applied in conjunction with the clipping mask. The clipping mask is fluid like water and can take the shape of any object in the image. It can be applied to a text also to create effect. The quick mask can be likened to a digital mask tape. It brings together areas, which are selected and not selected when editing is being done.  This is one way to ensure that while one part of the image is being changed the rest remain the same. With the change of opacity of edges also one is able to produce clearer and sharper pictures. This is a great way for the new comers to get introduced to the Photoshop features and work confidently. There are many clients who are looking for affordable photo editing services. Offshore photo editing firms have a combination of apprentices and senior designers who are able to work together to help many kinds of clients for diverse needs. With their large portfolio they are able to provide a range of services for digital imaging needs.
