A High-Level Overview
Our process is designed to prioritize the security, privacy, and quality of your images at every step. This high-level overview gives you a general understanding of how we handle your project, but please note that some specific details are omitted to maintain the integrity of our security measures. Our workflow is also subject to change as we continually adapt and refine our practices to meet evolving privacy standards and technological advancements. Rest assured, every step is taken with your images’ confidentiality and professional quality in mind.
Prepping for Perfection:
System Setup & Updates
Before begin editing your photos, our editing workstations are checked and updates, if any, applied to the OS and applications. Editing work stations are disconnected from the network.
Image Integrity Check:
Verification & Validation
Before we begin editing, we carefully review your contract and submitted files to ensure everything aligns with your specific requests. We thoroughly check the integrity of your photos, confirming that all files are complete and free from corruption. This step is critical to maintaining the quality and security of your images throughout the editing process, allowing us to proceed with confidence, knowing that your project is set up correctly and ready for the next stage.
Secure Editing:
One Client At A Time
Once we begin editing your photos, we focus solely on your project until it’s fully completed. To maintain the highest level of security and privacy, we work on only one set of files at a time, ensuring no overlap with other projects. Our editing machines are completely air-gapped—disconnected from the internet—so your images remain isolated and protected throughout the process. This dedicated, secure approach ensures that your files are handled with the utmost care and confidentiality from start to finish.
The Final Touch:
Comprehensive Quality Check
Before delivering your images, we perform a detailed quality review to ensure every edit meets our high standards and your specific requirements. From color adjustments to fine details, we meticulously examine each photo for consistency, accuracy, and overall quality. This final check guarantees that your images are polished and ready for delivery, ensuring your complete satisfaction.
Delivery With Care:
returning Your Edited Images
Once your images pass our final quality check, we securely prepare them for delivery. Using encrypted file transfer methods, we ensure that your photos are safely returned to you, protecting them from any unauthorized access. Your edited images are sent promptly, and we confirm receipt to ensure a seamless, secure hand off.
The Final Sweep:
72-Hour Hold & Secure Clean-Up
After delivery, we hold your files for an additional 72 hours in case you require any adjustments or corrections. Once this period passes, we securely wipe all data from our systems using industry-standard tools, ensuring that no trace of your images remains. This final step guarantees that your project is fully completed with the highest level of confidentiality and security.
