IMAGE PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Prepare a clean image cutout without losing control of the original photo.

For an image the requester owns or is permitted to edit, prepare a version with its background removed or improved. Confirm the image may be processed by the selected service, remove unnecessary personal details, and compare the result with the original for edge errors, missing objects, or altered meaning. A rights holder or content owner should approve the final image before publication or distribution.
