Blueprint: ImageQuix Retouching Through RPL

Retouching can be added as an option to your catalog upon request

• Retouching Options - Standard retouching found in the Retouching Options for My Design Templates and Digital Delivery catalog can now be used for retouching your orders!

  • RPL will receive an image services order, perform the retouch service, and the retouched image will apply to the My Design template and/or IQ Digital Delivery

  • Digital Delivery orders can take up to 2 days after they are submitted for delivery to the end customer

• Retouching w/ Digital Return - These retouch options will return the submitted file back to you digitally - contact customer service for more information

  • Caveats:

    • Note when using on Pricesheet with My Design Templated products - the retouched file will be returned to your digital return folder along with all other rendered images (i.e. My Design rendered files) in the order. If a My Design product is the only product ordered, that will be the only item exported to the DR folder.

    • All Images within a bulk order will be exported to the digital return folder, not just the retouched files - the files we export will be the retouched (if ordered) images with color correction

    • Should not be used with Green Screen Images (transparent PNG images) - the file we return digitally will be the flattened image on the selected background for the order and not the transparent PNG file

    • Retouched file for Digital Delivery only orders (ie if the customer ordered a digital download with retouching but no printwork) will NOT be returned to the studio

Order Process for ImageQuix Orders with Retouching:

Orders with lab retouching will now come through to us in two stages:

1. Image Services Order :

• The retouching/Image Services order will be received by the lab as a separate order

• The order number will begin with a “D” (i.e. order “D12345”)

• The Image Services orders for retouching will have the standard 2 day in-lab turnaround time

• You’ll receive an order confirmation email when we receive the order and you can view the order on the Order History page

• While the Image Services order is processing, the order in IQ will be listed as “New” until we complete it

• All relevant information you're used to referencing in IQ orders will also be available for reference on Image Services orders (e.g. Job ID, Job Name, Subject Name, etc.)

• Once the Image Services order has been completed, any associated digital deliveries will be sent to your end customer- this means digital deliveries with retouching will be delayed getting sent to your end customer by up to 2 days as retouching gets completed by the lab

• Image Services orders will be billed separately upon completion (for the cost of retouching only)

2. Print Order:

• After the Image Services order is completed, we'll then receive the print work portion of the order

• The order number will begin with a “Q” (i.e. Q12345) as usual

• You’ll receive a second order confirmation email when we receive the print order and you can view the order on the Order History page

• The status of the order and lab order number will also update in IQ

• The print order will have the “received” date listed as the date we received the initial retouching Image Services order (i.e. Image Services order was received on a Monday and completed on a Wednesday; print work order will be reflected as being received on Monday)

• The due date on the print order will reflect the in-lab turnaround time for retouching + print products

• Print orders will get billed for any applicable prints/products ordered (but not retouching)

• Print orders will still have the line items listed for retouching, but will show on the receipt as [PREV COMPLETED/PAID] and will be listed as $0 to serve as reference for the service associated to the print work
