Taking a little extra time to prepare your photos can save hours of revisions and help your products make a stronger impression on potential customers.

Organize them into clearly labeled folders, compress them into ZIP files if necessary, and include detailed editing instructions.
RAW files contain more color, exposure, and detail information, allowing editors to produce higher-quality results than heavily compressed image formats.
