Dear Professional Photo Editors,

Before proceeding, please ensure you have carefully read this project post, as it contains important information and application instructions. We appreciate your attention to detail, which is essential for the successful execution of this project.

Do not ask me about the files to produce a sample, or the budget, or what I am looking for. All is explained in detail in the post, if you cannot take the time to read the post, it does not show the level of professionalism and attention of detail that is required to be awarded this project, therefore, please, do us both a favor and do not bid, and save us both our time.

I am the manager of an art gallery and I am actively seeking a skilled Photo Editor to enhance the visual quality and consistency of the images featured on our website.

****** 1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION ******

You will receive photos of framed artworks, similar to the attached file labeled "Example of Images Provided as Input" For each framed artwork, you are expected to produce a set of 3 images, exemplified in the attached file labeled "Example of the Files You Will Produce From the Provided Inputs".

Each set of 3 images must include:

a) An image that showcase the artwork in the frame (Refer to the example in compressed file "Example of the Files You Will Produce From the Provided Inputs" - "Example_Frame").
b) An image focusing on the corner of the frame (Refer to the example in compressed file "Example of the Files You Will Produce From the Provided Inputs" - "Example_Corner").
c) An image portraying the framed artwork within the context of a room (Refer to the example in compressed file "Example of the Files You Will Produce From the Provided Inputs" - "Example_Lifestyle").

Your tasks include removing the background from both the framed artwork (image a) above) and the frame's corner (image b) above), fine-tuning color and contrast, retouching images to eliminate imperfections, removing reflections, enhancing clarity, ensuring consistency, and other image editing techniques you find relevant to achieve a polished, professional aesthetic while retaining the frame. Each image must have a resolution of 2000px x 2000px.

For the framed artwork image in a lifestyle environment (image c) above), you should select an appropriate background and seamlessly integrate the image into the background. The result should appear natural and proportionate, avoiding any artificial appearance. We provide measurements for the frame to guide you in achieving realism and the correct perception of size in the chosen lifestyle background.

****** 2) FINANCIAL TERMS ******

Please refrain from asking about our budget. Instead, submit your bid for each set of three images, encompassing:

1) Framed artwork image (as described in a) above).
2) Frame corner image (as described in b) above).
3) Artwork displayed in a lifestyle background (as described in c) above).

We currently require work on 20 sets (each set previously explained), and your bid should apply to each set. Our objective is to establish an ongoing partnership. As new artworks arrive, you will continue producing sets of images regularly (2/3 per month).

Additional tasks may arise, such as creating images for our website, advertising in other channels, and email newsletters. We seek an experienced, quality-focused professional with meticulous attention to detail for consistent collaboration. Any additional work will be separately agreed upon and quoted.

****** 3) HOW TO APPLY? ******

To apply, please follow these steps:

1) Review the "Example of Images Provided as Input" file attached to understand how inputs are and will be provided.
2) Examine the "Example of the Files You Will Produce From the Provided Inputs" file attached for an example of the image sets we expect you to generate.
3) Download the "These are the files you must use to produce the sample set" file attached, which contains a sample of the files you will receive for each set.
4) Utilize the downloaded input files from "These are the files you must use to produce the sample set" to create a sample set of 3 images as specified in a), b), and c) above.
5) Place your bid only after you have created the sample set, and include this sample in your bid.
6) The quality of the sample set you provide, together with the bid price will be the key factors in our selection process.
7) We prioritize image quality, including clarity, resolution, color accuracy, lighting, shadows, consistency across images, retouching, cleanup, reflection elimination, image composition, seamless background integration, and correct frame proportions in the background context.
8) The sample set will be compensated if the project is awarded to you.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to collaborate with us. We look forward to receiving your application.

Best regards,
Luis Miguel Gonçalves
