IMAGE PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Bring an image closer to ready while preserving a careful review.

Start with an image and a clear goal, such as improving detail, reducing visual noise, preparing a larger version, or changing a background. Keep the original alongside the proposed result, confirm the requester has permission to use the image, and require approval of the exact image and processing destination before outside processing or sharing.

  1. Choose the image and intended use

  2. Describe the requested improvement

    Choose a specific goal such as clearer detail, reduced noise, larger dimensions, or a changed background.

    Confirm the requester may use the image and identify faces, private information, or protected material that needs special care.

  4. Approve outside processing and inspect the result
