Photo Editing Services

Most “photo editing services” mean one of two things: an AI tool that mangles hair, glass and jewellery, or a per-image gig shop where a different stranger edits every batch and nothing ever looks the same twice.

Outsourcey does it differently. We connect you with a full-time, dedicated photo editor in the Philippines. Someone who learns your brand’s look, works from your style guide, and edits your images while your business sleeps. Same editor, every time. One consistent catalogue, not a patchwork of “close enough.”

Whether you need a clipping path service, full photo retouching services, real estate photo editing, or a full-blown ghost mannequin service for your apparel catalogue, you get one person, dedicated to you, who gets better at your look every single week.

The AI tool is fast but dumb. The gig shop is cheap but inconsistent.
A dedicated editor is the only option that gets better the longer you use it.

What our photo editors do

Real editing types, not vague “we edit photos” copy. Our image editing services cover the full spread of what a growing ecommerce, real estate or creative brand actually needs:

  • Background removal & clipping path service 
  • Product retouching 
  • Ghost mannequin service 
  • Ecommerce & Amazon compliance 
  • Real estate photo editing 
  • Jewellery & luxury retouching 
  • Portrait & wedding photo retouching services 
  • Batch consistency

Software: Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One, or whatever workflow tools you use. Your editor plugs into your pipeline; you don’t rebuild your workflow around them.

Ecommerce & product photo editing

 

If you’re running an online store, consistency is the whole game. Your editor handles background removal, colour correction, and Amazon/Shopify-compliant formatting across your entire catalogue, including ghost mannequin service work for apparel and clipping path service for anything that needs a clean cut-out. One editor means one consistent look across every SKU, instead of a different white balance every week.

Real estate photo editing

Listings live or die on their photos. A dedicated real estate editor handles sky replacement, HDR blending, lens correction, and virtual staging, turning around your listing photos overnight so they’re ready before your agents are even at their desks. No more waiting 2 days for a per-image shop to reach your batch.

Jewellery photo retouching

Jewellery is the hardest category in photo editing. An AI tool simply can’t handle reflections, sparkle, and macro-level flaws. This is one of the least competitive, highest-value niches in the industry, and it’s exactly where a dedicated editor who learns your specific pieces earns their keep.

Wedding & portrait photographers

Photographers shooting hundreds of images per event need a photo retouching services partner who can cull, colour-grade and retouch at volume without losing the editing style each photographer is known for. Your editor learns your presets and your eye, not just “make it look nice.”

 

How much do photo editing services cost?

A dedicated offshore photo editor through Outsourcey costs $5 USD per hour, or roughly $870 USD/month full-time, regardless of how many images you push through. Per-image shops look cheaper at low volume, but the cost flips once you're editing hundreds of images a week, and they still can't hold a consistent look across your catalogue.

When you should NOT hire a dedicated photo editor

We’d rather tell you now than have you find out three months in.

  • You edit fewer images a month. A per-image shop or an AI tool is genuinely cheaper. Use one.
  • You need a one-off project with a deadline next week. A freelancer will spin up faster than hiring.
  • Your edits are truly one-click (simple background removal, nothing else). An AI tool will do it for $15/month. Don’t pay a person to do a robot’s job.
  • You have no style reference and no one to give feedback. A dedicated editor needs direction to actually be worth the hire. Garbage in, garbage out applies here, too.

Security & your image rights

A fair question, especially if you’re a photographer or brand handling client work.
You keep full ownership and copyright of every image; files are worked on in your systems or approved cloud storage only, and nothing is kept on local devices.
You’re outsourcing the editing, not the ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do photo editing services cost?

From $5/hr (from ~$870/mo full-time, USD). Junior from $5/hr, Mid from $7/hr, Senior from $9/hr. One all-in hourly rate covering salary, benefits, recruitment, HR, payroll, IT and a Client Success Partner. No setup fees, no lock-in.

Is outsourced photo editing better than an AI tool?

For simple, one-click edits, an AI tool is cheaper and perfectly fine. But for anything involving hair, glass, jewellery, reflections, or a consistent look across a whole catalogue, a human editor still wins. AI can’t hold brand consistency across thousands of images the way a dedicated person can.

Can you match my existing photo style?

Yes, that’s the entire point of a dedicated editor over a gig shop. We test editors against your style guide before you hire, then dial the look in tighter over the first two weeks.

What's your turnaround time?

Same-day / 24 hrs for standard edits, depending on volume and complexity. Custom timeframes can be agreed upon for larger or more time-intensive jobs.

What software do your editors use?

Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One, or whatever your needs require. (Specialised licences may be billed separately).

Do I own the edited images?

Yes, you own 100% of edited images.

Can you handle high-volume ecommerce catalogues?

Yes, scale from one editor to a full team. 24/7 shifts allow overnight catalogue turnaround.

Do you offer clipping path and ghost mannequin services?

Yes, both are core parts of our ecommerce editing services.
