10 Reasons Why Retouchers Should Use verybusy.io

I’m Emily, one of the co-founders here at verybusy.io. I have over a decade of experience as a commercial high-end retoucher. Historically, our primary tools for retouching have been Photoshop and Capture One. But what if you could jump in before the retouching starts with a tool that facilitates all the conversation and file exchanging that happens before, during, and after post-production? This is where verybusy.io comes in. Here are 10 reasons why I would tell any retoucher they should be using verybusy.io as part of their essential software stack.

1. Saves your client time on things like making elaborate retouching decks. Seriously, your clients don’t even have to sign in to verybusy.io to use it. Present them with a beautiful gallery of images that they can quickly markup within one double click of a mouse. You’ll get an email that there have been markups without your client needing to lift a finger to notify you.

2. Clients have a visual record of all work done to the image. No matter where the project goes, verybusy.io will be their single source of truth throughout the process. All notes, markups, and versions are logged from round to round and can be referred to at the click of a mouse.

3. Scale your business. The work that verybusy.io takes out of managing the retouching process can be invested into things like taking on additional clients. No longer are you wading through decks and email chains to find essential information. It’s all front and center. Trying to invoice but you lost track of all of the rounds you’ve been through? No worries, verybusy.io has you covered.

4. Clients have a repository for all final retouched images. With affordable storage, clients with accounts can keep all of their projects on verybusy.io and redownload images at anytime. They’ll never lose track of retouched finals, and you’ll know exactly where to direct them if they need assistance finding them.

5. Proactively provide a framework for managing the process. If your retouching studio is anything like ours, you work with clients who range from global companies to small to medium size business. Not every organization has a process for post-production or a workflow to manage photography projects. By presenting verybusy.io as an option, you are taking the burden of communication off your client.

6. There’s no complicated onboarding, and the interface is really easy to get into and really easy to use. You can be confident introducing the platform to your clients because the platform was built to have the most essential features and nothing else.

7. It is designed by retouchers. We understand the specific needs and challenges of retouchers and their clients because it was created by retouchers. This means the platform is tailored to address the nuances of the retouching process, which is unlike design or copywriting.

8. It’s affordable. Its powerful features and tailored functionality, verybusy.io is accessible to retouchers of all levels. The pricing structure was designed to ensure that retouchers can benefit from its capabilities without breaking the bank, making it a cost-effective solution for both freelancers and studios or larger teams.

9. We listen to our users. At verybusy.io, user feedback is not just welcomed but actively sought after. We know the needs of retouchers are constantly evolving, so we prioritize listening to their users' suggestions, concerns, and ideas for improvement.

10. Look proactive and add value for your client when estimating jobs. Presenting verybusy.io as an option for clients when you’re first talking about working on a project shows that you have thought through how to move the job from the photoshoot to final images ready for release.
