IMAGE EDITING AND REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make a focused image change—and check the result before using it.

Start with an image your team is allowed to use and a clear description of the requested change. Prepare a revised visual, compare it with the original, and let the image owner check accuracy, quality, and permissions before it is saved for a project or shared with anyone else.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An approved source image and a change request from its owner

“Prepare a revised image from an approved source and hold it for creative review before use or sharing.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps creative teams prepare image variations without losing sight of the original or skipping a visual review.

  1. Confirm the source image and its permitted use

    Check who supplied the image, what project it belongs to, and whether it may be edited for the intended purpose.

  2. Describe the requested visual change

    Specify what should be added, removed, or adjusted and identify details that must remain unchanged.

  3. Prepare an edited image draft

    Create a revised version that follows the request while keeping the original available for comparison.

  4. Compare the result with the original

    Have a creative reviewer check visual accuracy, image quality, likenesses, and any details that could mislead viewers.

  5. Approve the final image before use

    Require the owner to approve the exact image, project, audience, and destination before it is shared or published.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

An edited image draft paired with its source and request, awaiting the owner’s approval.

The handoff

An edited image draft paired with its source and request, awaiting the owner’s approval.

Keep in mind

An edit can alter important details, introduce visual errors, or include material the team is not permitted to use. Keep source images private, verify the requested change against the original, check likeness and usage rights, and require the image owner to approve the exact final visual and audience before it is shared or published.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose eligible images and owners

Define which images may be edited and identify the person responsible for confirming their source and permitted use.

Set clear edit instructions

Record the requested changes, required dimensions or style, and details that must be preserved.

Keep source and draft images private

Limit access to people working on the edit and retain the original alongside its revised draft.

Assign creative and sharing approvers

Name who checks the result and who may approve the final image and its intended audience.
