Yes! 1 image for retouching and a 5-10 image catalog for weddings.
Do I need to send original files?
No. However, the higher fidelity image that is sent, the higher fidelity product can be returned.
For retouching, jpegs are just fine.
For Weddings, smart previews are used to saved over 1/5 or smaller of what you need to send. And often 1/10 the size what you will need to download. Full instructions can be found here.
Is there a quality loss with using smart previews?
Smart previews are a compressed RAW format. You can learn more about them from Adobe, here.
They retain the flexibility of your original image but not the resolution. So while exposure, color, contrast, etc. may be the same as working in RAW, ultra-fine detail like small blemishes can still be hard to work with.
What if I need retouching or blemish removal on my wedding photos?
If extensive blemish removal is desired for your wedding images, you are welcome to send full RAW files and add the basic retouching service found here.
When sending RAW files you will still only need to download the small catalog file when, when complete. (~50-300 megabytes)
If your wedding has already been edited, you are welcome to send the effected images for retouching, separately.
How will I receive my images?
Whenever possible, your images will be sent how they were received. Within the cloud folder you shared, or via email if used.
