How do I get my edited photo back?

There are multiple ways on how to get your edited images back. Most of the time we work with Smart Previews, a great way to send a huge amount of photos from one place to another in just a few minutes. We work with this method for both photo culling and photo editing.

If you receive an edited or culled Lightroom catalog back from us you need to go to your own Lightroom catalog:

File -> Import from another catalog -> Select the catalog you received from us -> Follow all the steps in the pop-up window and all the edits will be copied to your photos.

If you don’t work with Lightroom but with Photoshop, you can send us all the photos with WeTransfer or FromSmash, this may take a while on your end and depends heavily on your internet connection.

When we’ve edited all your photos we will send you back a tiny file called: XMP. This is a text document that keeps all the photo editing inside and you only have to paste it with the rest of your photos, it will automatically detect the edits.
