PHOTO EDITING
Every photograph goes through a critical scrutiny for any scratches, dust particles that can be removed by cleaning. Those which can not be removed by physical cleaning are edited using a photoediting software. We will do every possible attempt to take care of scratches and dust particles as can be possible. However this doesnot include 'Pixel Cleaning' (Deep Intensive Cleanup of pixels).

COLOR CORRECTED IMAGES
We examine and adjust color and brightness levels to ensure the proper tone and vibrant exposure. Whether RGB or CMYK for commercial printing, we can work with all color schemes as required. All our colors are true and justify the product. We go a step further to adjust the highlights, midtones and the shadows of the product images.
-
WEB READY IMAGES
Product Image files are made ready to suit your web requirements. Whether Amazon photography, Etsy, Overstock or your own website, we can optimize the files to those specifications.

-
INTENSIVE IMAGE EDITING
This is called the 'Pixel Cleanup'- Or the 'Zoom In Cleanup'. We try to clean the dust, scratches and minor imperfections on the product. However beyond this, if an intensive smoothening or clean up is required, there is an additional charge of $5-$8 per picture depending on the type of product..
-
LARGE ITEMS OVER 12"
If your product is larger than 1 feet on the longest side it is considered over sized and will need to be quoted separately (apparel and certain other items excluded). Large jewelry pieces of more than 18 inches long, select hard to photograph items will need additional photography/ Display support and hence charged a small additional charge. Please contact us for a quote..
-
IMAGES BACKUP
Once the images are released, it is the Client's responsibility to take a Back Up for them OR STORE them. Our backup is only for 30-45 days during which if the images are lost by the client, can be provided at NO COST. However we DO NOT take any ONLINE Back up of the images due to Image Protection Laws and hence CAN NOT STORE them Permanently. Also as we do a lot of images every week, this is highly impossible to take a back up of all files worked upon.
-
VARIED BACKGROUNDS- COLORED BACKGROUND
-
EXTREMELY SHINY SURFACES
Stainless Steel Products, Chrome, Mirrors etc require a completely different set up to avoid glares, reflections from all side. Such items are charged a small additional charge. Also certain Jewelry pieces with more reflective metal content are charged differently. eg- Monogrammed coins, shiny metal earrings. We request our clients to disclose and discuss this before accepting the final quotes.
-
High Res PRINT/ PNG/PSD
Images that are delivered as high resolution 300 DPI jpeg files are perfect for use in print . All photos are captured at a minimum of 12 megapixels. Optionally, we are also able to deliver a maximum resolution of over 20 megapixels for print resolution for large prints and product packaging. As most of the images are used online, we shoot them at 85 DPI at 1800-2000 pixels large and charge less for such images. However when you need Print-worthy images, we offer that at a small additional charge of $2- $5, depending on how large you need them for your print purpose. We can also re-size them on demand. For PNG (transparent background images), we charge an additional $3-$5 per file. We do not offer any working PSD files. Only deliverables are white background JPG, PNG and other formats (except working PSD)
-
PHOTO MANIPULATIONS
Photographs that are created in photoediting softwares or manipulated further after shooting them are charged additional. Please discuss the requirements.

ADVANCED RETOUCHING
-
GROUP SHOTS
Group arrangements are charged in the multiple of each product pricing. This depends on the group that is formed and the display required. Group arrangements require time and efforts for set up and also changed lighting. Also the number of items to be edited in photoediting software increase. This is both time-consuming and labor intensive process. Hence we charge additional $ for group shots.
-
DISPLAY MODIFICATIONS
We request our clients to provide any product display ideas( if they have something in mind). However in case where displays are not provided, we follow the industry standard display rules. Any change in the display after the final image is done, will be considered a 'NEW SHOT' and charged accordingly. This is because we spend a lot of time and energy in getting the shots right. Change in display is an unnecessary duplication of work and hence needs to be discussed prior to the shoot..
-
UNPAID SHOTS
Shots unpaid for are Copyright of EtherArts Photography. We will pursue Legal Action against violators if we find that such shots are used for commercial purpose. All images unpaid for are kept on a 'Watch List' under the Copyright Law for a span of 3 years. The items if not picked up within 1 month of serving the invoice, will be property of EtherArts Product Photography. We reserve the right to gift, donate these unpicked items without the consent of the client
VOLUME DISCOUNTS
Higher Number of Images,
Lower Is The Cost
How does the Volume Discount Pricing Work?
This Volume Discount pricing is different for different categories of products. Depending on if the product is a jewelry, ghost mannequin photography, highly reflective product, Amazon listings etc, the pricing will change.
Volume discounts are offered understanding that the lights / set up / shooting environment is created just once which allows us to save time and efforts. Assuming all the products in that project can use the same set up, the volume pricing is offered.
Volume pricing doesnot apply to same products done in batches of multiple projects throughout the months or years.
We can not offer Volume pricing based off promises of future work.
