IMAGE ASSET PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Prepare clean image cutouts while keeping people, products, and source rights in view.

For images an organization is authorized to process, select files from an approved asset collection, remove their backgrounds, and save the results for review. Confirm the correct source image and file name, protect portraits and client materials, retain source and edit context, and check the resulting edges and appearance before any edited image is published or used to represent a real product or person.

  3. Protect portraits and private material

    Limit access to identifiable people and unpublished client or campaign imagery.

  4. Inspect the cutout and preserve context

    Check edges, missing details, color changes, and whether the edit could mislead viewers.

  5. Approve before external use

    Have the asset owner confirm rights, quality, disclosure needs, and destination.

The handoff

Edited image files with source references, quality checks, and owner approval status.

Keep in mind

An edit may remove meaningful context, alter a product’s appearance, or involve an identifiable person without appropriate permission. Confirm rights and consent, protect source files, inspect every result, and disclose material edits where needed before external use.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define eligible images and allowed uses

Document source ownership, permissions, intended destinations, and excluded content.

Set privacy and file-retention rules

Restrict image access and remove original or processed files according to policy.

Choose output naming and review records

Keep each processed file linked to its original record and edit date.

Require quality and rights approval

Keep edited assets out of public channels until a responsible owner approves them.
