As a freelance photographer I get a wide range of customers. One of my regular customers asked me to come by and shoot some photos of their new products for a magazine. I arranged the products on a product table and shot some photos. The customer wanted the photos as fast as possible and I prepared them the same day.

Client: I just received the photos and they look very nice. But, they are not edited.

Me: What do you mean? The products are processed the same way as all of the other product photos.

Client: Are you sure? I think you send me the unedited files. I can see that the background is different and the products don’t look sharp.

I checked the files that I sent to the customer and they were processed correctly – so I renamed all of the files in a batch with ’_edited’ in the filename and sent them again.

Customer: Yes! That’s what I mean! These photos look amazing!
