alwaysstock®, LLC, a royalty-free stock photography and illustration company founded by two seasoned advertising professionals, has launched “Tweak,” a new image editing service available on alwaysstock.com. By tapping alwaysstock’s staff of professional graphic designers, customers can now have a stock photo customized to meet their unique specifications. A “Tweak” might include changing a color, removing an element from a photo, creating a basic silhouette, and more. Customers can also take advantage of a “Major Tweak,” which may involve more detailed work such as adding an element, revamping a piece of clothing, altering a background, creating a complex silhouette, or combining elements from two alwaysstock photos. Upon purchase of a high-resolution or ultra high-resolution photo, a customer simply calls or e-mails a rep at alwaysstock to learn immediately whether the editing needed is a “Tweak” for $60 or a “Major Tweak” for $150.
“We found customers saying, ‘I love this photo but it needs to have a blurred background,’ or ‘I need this summer scene to look like autumn,’ so the opportunity really presented itself to offer this next level of service,” says Stephen van Schouwen, partner, alwaysstock. “Whether it’s a lack of time or lack of necessary tools, many in-house marketing departments have found this service to be particularly useful. alwaysstock has a staff of graphic designers who are image manipulation experts, so we encourage customers to call and tell us what they are trying to achieve,” says van Schouwen.
alwaysstock can complete most editing jobs in one working day. While the “Tweak” is in progress, customers can download and utilize the unedited photo as a placeholder. When the “Tweaked” photo is ready, alwaysstock sends a status e-mail complete with download instructions. For more information about “Tweak,” visit www.alwaysstock.com or call 1-413-567-2105 ext. 107 or 109 and speak with an alwaysstock graphic designer.
