Creative Photo Transformation

I'm seeking a talented photo editor to transform roughly 2000 images after eliminating duplicates. The project will involve a combination of background removal, color correction, and retouching to meet my specific needs. I have both JPEG and ARW files and need an expert who can work efficiently with these formats.

Core Tasks:
- Duplicate photo detection and deletion - there may be slight variations so choosing "best" will be required
- Background removal to create a consistent look
- Color adjustment for a natural and vibrant finish
- Detailed retouching to enhance each photograph - mainly dust spots from camera removal

Ideal Skills:
- Proficient in photo editing software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom)
- Strong attention to detail, particularly in spotting duplicates
- Experienced with JPEG and ARW file formats
- Efficient workflow to handle a high volume of images
- An artistic eye for color and detail improvements

Final Deliverable:
- Approximately 2000 edited photos in JPEG format
