Hi there,
Thank you so much for a very detailed job listing.
As per requested, this is my bid for the monthly editing of 500 photos.
As you mentioned, there are a lot steps in the editing process, things you want cleaned and edited and with this bid I can do that.
I've had several jobs similar to this one outside of Freelancer.com and after trying several ways, the best option for me and the client was working with Lightroom catalogues with the photos imported as "smart previews".
This way the file size is lower, the transfer time is much quicker and the client can then do those extra 3% for personal style and export the photos with the resolution he/she wants.
You mentioned a server when you can easily send files back and forth, this might be a more efficient and light way to get that done. Just a suggestion for future reference, it has been working for me for bigger contracts.
Back to the job itself, the time frame depends if you send all the photos at once or if you send them in batches per session.
For the entire collection, I'll probably need about 4 to 6 days.
For a batch, less then that.
Hope I answered all your questions.
Would love to check out your website to see your work, if you could send me the it would be great.
Look forward to you reply, let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Rita Ortiz
