[login to view URL] The Images are from a Nikon d4s so you will need a raw converter for lightoom or Photoshop. For work flow lightroom is much more efficient but you can use either program. I would like the images retouched ready for the microstock market. If you would like check out our portfolio here and you will get an idea of the type of style we have. https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Marcos+Mesa+Sam+Wordley - Crop if you feel they need them, I normally use the rule of thirds for cropping so this is a good place to start. - Set colour temp - Exposure - Saturation - Sharpen (please see screen grab in dropbox folder) don’t over sharpen - Noise reduction (only on images shoot above 600 ISO) see sceen grab in dropbox link. - Take all the branding off the photos, Apple logo on laptop, bottom on iPhone or tablet even the side of the computer where you can see the usb plugs ect the computer companies trade mark all these. Any trade more logos on clothes ect. - Whitten teeth, not to much just a little - If shot on white background fixed background if needed. - Export the image as a jpeg 100% or 12 high if working in Photoshop in AdobeRGB 1998, resize longest edge to 14.00 inches with resolution of 300DPI Once you are happy with your 7 images please, upload them to your dropbox account if you don’t have one set one up and send me a message from the freelancer. In the message in freelancer can you please add a brief description about yourself, how long you have been retouching for, where you live, what computer your work on, if you are looking for long term work, if you have a calibrated screen, your internet speed, The price you would be happy to work for on this monthly contract. The first time I Advertised on the freelancer I got a lot of people with prices then they changed their price as soon as I start talking to them even after the job had been described in detail. Think about the job and think about your prices and set it. This wont be for negotiation at a latter point. I’m looking to build a strong working relationship. The successful applicant wont be chosen on the cheapest price it will be the quality of work and how I feel we can work together. I will be happy to provid training for the first few month so we can get into a good work flow. I understand that everyone has a busy life and this application will take a bit of time so I will leave it open to the Friday the 18th of October. I will contact you the following week with a phone interview. Regards Sam
