1. Am I still recognizing myself after the career photo optimization?
Yes – the personal characteristics are completely retained during the career photo preparation. We retouch only illumination, color effect, eye sharpness and background. In addition, we remove skin impurities. As a result, the photo and the applicant fit together very well.
2. What is the requirement for my photo to be retouched?
You should stand in front of an objective monochrome background and in no case be out of focus. In addition, you must be entitled to share the photo and agree that it may be edited digitally. The image file may not be less than 1MB, but should be 2MB or larger.
3. Can I choose a background before?
You should stand in front of an objective monochrome background and in no case be out of focus. In addition, you must be entitled to share the photo and agree that it may be edited digitally. The image file may not be less than 1MB, but should be 2MB or larger.
To ensure that outsiders can not understand the processing of your photo by STARMAZING®, we intentionally do not make them available online. In addition, we avoid the fact that you fall in love with a background that is, e.g. due to the lines and the color balance, but it does not fit perfectly. For this you must know that we have our modern backgrounds for the career retouching of our own photographers exclusively and high-quality recordings and then partial retouching so that they can support the portrait effect – without distracting – maximum. We compose, so to speak, each customer’s own background into the photo. Therefore the indication of industry and position is so important. This is the only way to get the picture perfect for your business photo.
4. I have several pictures which come into question. Which one shall I take?
With your order, please upload all photos in the “Photo Upload” order section, which you can not decide between. We help you choose the most suitable image. This is one of our strengths. In the step “check shopping cart” then only order the number of pictures to be retouched – also if you have uploaded more pictures than ordered. In the “Invoice and delivery data” step, you can enter additional information in the field “Note on the order”: eg “I uploaded 10 pictures to the selection, 5 with necktie, 5 without necktie. Please select the best one with tie and the best one without tie. “.
5. Can I order more than one picture at a time?
Yes, upload all images in sequence in the “Photo Upload” order section. In the order section “Check shopping cart”, you can increase the number of pictures to be ordered accordingly. In this way, only one ordering process is required for all images.
In the “Invoice and delivery data” step, you can enter additional information in the field “Note on the order”: eg “I uploaded 10 pictures to the selection, 5 with necktie, 5 without necktie. Please select the best with tie and the best without tie. “.
6. What is the difference between career retouch and beauty retouch?
A beauty retouch aims to show the respective model according to the usual beauty ideals. Since it is about delivering a pretty photo and regardless of whether model and retouching still fit together, the characteristics of the face are also changed for unknown models. In a business or application photo, however, you can see twice: once on the photo and once in reality. For this reason, we do not give up all stylistic devices that can lead to distorting the optical truth. In order for your photo to be effective and credible, we can even strengthen the truth – but in the best light. An example: a career photo with exaggerated skin retouching is not credible from the outset. Our STARMAZING® technique will show you how it works absolutely effectively and at the same time credibly. We love to satisfy you.
7. What happens if I do not like something?
We are specialized in putting you in the best light on your application or business photo – in such a way that you make a positive and believable impression. This will not only impress staff decision-makers, your customers and colleagues, but also yourself. If there is something in the retouched picture which prevents you from a 5-star rating, we retouch up to 3 times free of charge for you within the scope of the technical possibilities.
8. How much are the shipping costs?
We deliver all picture tags worldwide free of shipping-costs via e-mail.
9. Can I get full rights without additional costs?
Yes, you will get the full rights of use for the images we supply.
There is no time restriction and no restriction of the intended use.
These rights are included in the purchase price and there are no additional costs for the rights.
10. Can STARMAZING publish or promote my pictures?
No, your pictures will be per default not be published by STARMAZING and will not be used for STARMAZING advertising purposes.
11. I am not sure if my photo is suitable - How can I check this in advance?
With STARMAZING, you are always on the safe side. Mail your existing photos without obligation and free of charge to info@STARMAZING.com. We look at your photos on the light table and see which image would be most effective. So you are on the safe side, that a preparation is worthwhile and there is no costs for the preselection. After our feedback, you can decide for yourself whether you want to place a processing order or not.
12. I need only 1 optimized business photo. However, you deliver 8 photos - Is it cheaper if I only ask for 1 photo?
Frequently asked questions
For each order, we create a new business photo from your uploaded photo, like after an exclusive on-site photoshooting in panoramic landscape format. This preparation, including the exchange of the background and the creation of a new light architecture, requires the majority of working hours.
The additional formats created out of the optimized image only slightly impact the production costs because they are produced from one and the same optimized business photo. In order to provide you with the greatest value for your money, we create additional formats for further applications from the main theme: press photo panorama (optimized for the application cover sheet), press photo (optimized for the CV), profile photo square (optimized for XING, LinkedIn , Outlook, Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook, Outlook and other apps with square photo format), as well as 1 advantageous special format.
For use on the Internet, you also get all 4 formats in compressed version. This means that the data volume of the files is significantly reduced and the image quality is still maintained as high as possible, which is advantageous for Internet use due to shortened loading times.
The omitting of the blanks would not cost much in terms of cost technology, but the application possibilities clearly reduce. Through optimized STARMAZING® production processes, we can provide you the optimized additional formats at no extra cost as part of your processing order to maximize your price-performance ratio.
