Outsourcing photo editing starts with prepping your Lightroom catalog and its smart previews.
This is the preferred approach because it offers several advantages over sending raw files.
Smart previews are significantly smaller, making them easier to share and upload – a crucial benefit for outsourcing.
Furthermore, the catalog itself acts as a central hub, containing all your edits, metadata, and organizational structures.
This provides the editor with a clear picture of your workflow and editing preferences, ensuring a smooth and consistent
outcome for your project.
