Image Editing & Production

Image editing and production that keeps every shot on-brand, at scale

From a single hero shot to a 10,000-SKU catalog, we edit and produce images that look like they belong to one brand, then deliver them ready to drop straight into your store, your deck, and your campaigns.

Most teams have two problems at once: a back-catalog of images that don't match, and no easy way to make new ones at the same quality. 10Turtle solves both, a dedicated image-production team retouches, cuts out, color-corrects, composites and, where it helps, builds imagery from scratch. Held to one brand standard, finished by human editors, handed back marketplace-ready. One accountable partner, no white-label markup.

Two ways in

Two ways in: both land in the right place

There are only two kinds of image brief in the world, and we're built for both: re-editing and standardizing what you already have, and producing brand-new imagery from concept. Pick the door that fits you today, many clients use both over time.

Fix & standardize what exists

Re-edit my image library

Your catalog grew over years and it shows: mixed backgrounds, drifting colors, inconsistent crops, low-res legacy files. We audit the library, define one standard, then batch-retouch, re-cut, color-match, upscale and re-export every image to it. Old assets become a single, on-brand set.

  • One written standard, applied to the whole catalog
  • Batch retouch, re-cut, color-match & upscale
  • Re-export to every marketplace spec you sell on
Audit my existing library
Produce from scratch

Create new imagery

No usable source, or you need something that doesn't exist yet. We build it: photo compositing and manipulation, product CGI and 3D visualization, key visuals for campaigns, lifestyle scenes, and AI-assisted generation finished by hand so it stays photorealistic and on-brand.

Why it matters

Your images are doing the selling, whether they're ready or not

For online buyers, the photo is the product. Research from the Baymard Institute finds that most shoppers explore the product images before they read the title or description, so the image, not the copy, makes the first impression. Its quality and consistency move real numbers.

Illustrative demonstration, the standardised view is exactly what catalog standardization delivers across your real SKUs.

The takeaway is simple: clean, consistent, high-resolution imagery isn't decoration, it's a direct lever on conversion, trust and returns. That's the lever we manage for you.

Under one roof

A dedicated image-production team, inside the agency that builds your brand and your site

This is what a clipping mill can’t do and a boutique studio won’t. Your images don’t live in isolation: they sit on a website, inside a brand system, often feeding a store. At 10Turtle they’re produced by a dedicated image team that works alongside the people building your identity, your site and your automation, so the edited shots already match your brand colors, already fit your product templates, and drop into your Shopify or WordPress build with zero rework.

Dedicated expertise, not a generalist

A specialist image-production team owns this work (retouchers, compositors and CGI artists), the way a dedicated Web team owns your build and a dedicated Branding team owns your identity.

One accountable partner under one roof

No outsourcing chain, no white-label markup, no ‘that’s a different vendor.’ One brief, one standard, one point of accountability, across editing, brand and build.

Images that ship, not just files that download

We export to your platform’s exact specs and brand templates, so the result lands live-ready, not as a folder you still have to fix.

A single brand standard, enforced

We work from your style guide (or build one with you), so the 50th image and the 5,000th image look like the first.

How we work

How we work: predictable, even at scale

Whether it’s 12 images or 12,000, the path is the same. Predictability is the point.

1

Audit & sample

We review your existing images (or your concept) and your brand guide, agree the standard, and edit a free sample so you judge quality before you commit.

2

Brief & style spec

We lock a written spec (backgrounds, color targets, crop ratios, shadow style, marketplace rules) so every editor produces the identical look. References and presets in, ambiguity out.

3

Edit / produce

Editors, retouchers, compositors and CGI artists do the work by hand (AI assists the heavy lifting where it’s invisible to the eye), at the volume and turnaround your timeline needs.

4

Multi-tier QA

Every image passes a layered quality check against the spec (edges, color, consistency, platform compliance) before it reaches you.

5

Deliver, platform-ready

Files arrive in your formats and sizes, named and structured to drop straight into your site, catalog or campaign. Unlimited revisions until the batch is right.

6

Ongoing pipeline

Optional

For continuous catalogs, we run a standing pipeline (a dedicated team and SLA) so new products are shot-to-shelf without you managing post-production at all.

AI for scale, humans for trust

AI for the scale, human editors for the trust

We use AI where it earns its place: bulk background removal, upscaling, smart resizing to platform specs, color standardization across a catalog, and generating lifestyle backgrounds. Modern pipelines run this across thousands of images at once. But the data is loud about one catch: shoppers increasingly notice obviously AI imagery, so at 10Turtle, AI does the volume and a human editor does the finishing.

Engagement & pricing

How engagements work: pick the model that fits the volume

We don’t publish a flat number because real pricing depends on complexity, volume and turnaround, the same image can be a simple cutout or a full composite. Here’s how the market is structured, and how we quote.

Per-image / per-project

Best for occasional or one-off batches. Priced by complexity and turnaround. Industry per-image editing typically runs from roughly $0.25 upward [verify market range] for simple work, with complex retouching, compositing or CGI costing more; our own pricing follows complexity, volume and turnaround. [verify 10Turtle rate card]

Best at volume

Monthly / dedicated team

Best for continuous catalogs: a fixed, dedicated production team and SLA, usually the most cost-effective per image at volume.

Free sample first

Either way, you see a free edited sample of your own images before you commit, so quality is never a gamble.

Questions

Straight answers about image editing

Image editing means global adjustments to the whole image: cropping, resizing, background removal, color correction and compositing. Photo retouching is localized, detailed work on specific areas: removing blemishes, dust, scratches, reflections or stray hairs and refining texture. A finished image usually needs both, and we do both in one workflow.

It's a technique that removes the mannequin or model from an apparel photo and rebuilds the hidden areas, creating a clean 3D "hollow body" effect so the garment looks worn. It includes neck-joint, sleeve-joint and bottom-joint work, and it lets you show true fit and inner detail without a model shoot.

Both. We re-edit, retouch and standardize existing libraries to one brand standard, and we produce new imagery from concept: compositing, product CGI and 3D, key visuals and AI-assisted scenes finished by hand. Most clients use both over time.

It depends on complexity, volume and turnaround, the same photo can be a quick cutout or a full composite. The market generally prices simple per-image work from roughly $0.25 upward [verify market range], with retouching, compositing and CGI costing more; high-volume catalogs are usually most economical on a dedicated-team retainer. We quote against your actual images and send a free sample first. [verify 10Turtle rate card]

Standard batches typically come back in about 12–48 hours depending on volume and complexity, with rush options for launches and seasonal peaks. We confirm an SLA up front for ongoing work. [verify exact SLA]

Yes, consistency is the core of what we do. We work from a written style spec and your brand guide, and every image passes a multi-tier QA check against it, so the 5,000th image matches the first. Inconsistent catalogs measurably reduce shopper trust, which is exactly the problem we remove.

Both, deliberately. AI handles volume work: bulk background removal, upscaling, resizing, color standardization, scene generation. Human editors finish every image so it reads as photoreal and on-brand. This matters because shoppers increasingly notice obviously AI imagery and many say it lowers their trust in a brand [verify: ~64%, ACI Studios 2026]; our human finishing closes that gap.

We accept RAW (NEF, CR2, ARW and others), JPEG, PNG, WebP, PSD, TIFF and HDR bracket sets, and we deliver to your exact platform sizes and naming: Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Walmart and other marketplace specs, plus print-ready exports.

Yes, confidential, and no, we never train AI on them. Every engagement is under NDA with secure file transfer, and your images are never resold, redistributed, or used to train any model. Our information-security practices align with ISO 27001 [verify].

Yes. Send us a few of your real images and we'll return a free, no-obligation edited sample plus an audit of your wider library, so you can judge quality before committing.

Yes. Because the image team works alongside our Web and Branding teams, edited assets come back matched to your brand and sized for your build, and we can place them directly into your Shopify, WordPress, Webflow or Wix site, one accountable partner from edit to live page.
