Editing Style
What is the difference between a proof and Final Edit?
t’s pretty simple! Proofs have our signature edit; crop, color, exposure, adding more blue to the sky/water when applicable, and blending skin tones. Final Edits also have our signature edit and receive additional edits to skin smoothing, flyaway hairs, and minor background distractions.
​
The biggest difference is that the final edits looks like a more polished version of a proof. Final edits are not always necessary, more so a personal preference. Some final edits will have more noticeable differences than others as seen below.
​
What is a Proof?
Proofs are what we send you 10-12 days after the session. These are the images that are available for purchase with the Entire Gallery option. Here are a few examples of an unedited (RAW) photo compared to a proof. The unedited image is on the left and the proof is on the right. ​
What is a final edit?
Final edits are done to any photos selected for the photo package option or for additional edits when purchasing the entire gallery as is. They are ready in roughly 16-18 days but lead time may vary. The proof is on the left and the final edit in on the right.
If you are still unsure about the difference between proofs and finals, have any additional questions, or are unsure about which option to choose please reach out to us! We are happy to help!
