AI retouching at delivery time, not in a separate editor
Cloudinary-powered preset chains for auto-color, exposure, and skin smoothing apply at the URL level — no batch render queue, no separate editor app, no waiting for jobs to finish. Per-photo isRetouched tracking so your team always knows what's been polished.
Retouching baked into the delivery URL — no render queue
Cloudinary transformations apply at the moment the customer requests the photo. Auto-color, exposure correction, and skin smoothing run inside the CDN, not on a separate render server. The customer's browser pulls a polished JPEG; your team didn't wait 20 minutes for a Lightroom batch export to finish.
- Cloudinary edit chain composed into the signed URL
- Per-photo edit list stored as editApplied[] string array
- cloudinaryId_edited tracks the post-edit asset key
- No batch render queue, no rendered-file storage to babysit
- Original cloudinaryId always preserved for re-edits
- Apply, undo, or change presets without re-uploading
Preset chains for the most common edits
Four shipping preset chains cover the photographer's daily 80%: auto-color for white-balance fixes, exposure for over- or under-shot frames, skin-smoothing for portrait work, and batch-portrait for a session-wide polish. Custom adjustments compose on top of any preset chain.
- auto-color — white balance + saturation correction
- exposure — over/under-exposure correction
- skin-smoothing — portrait-grade softening
- batch-portrait — session-wide preset chain
- Custom adjustments stack on top of any preset
- Adjustments stored declaratively, not re-rendered
Authenticated admin API with org scope verification
/api/admin/retouch is gated by NextAuth and verifies the photo belongs to caller's org before applying any edit. Request the edits you want, scope is checked, transformation chain composed, isRetouched flag flipped, edit list persisted. No drive-by retouch attacks across organizations.
- POST /api/admin/retouch — applies edits, persists state
- Org scope verified before any edit
- Edits applied atomically inside a Prisma transaction
- Photo.isRetouched flipped to true on first edit
- editApplied[] array tracks every preset that ran
- Edit history retained for client-facing 'last polished by' display
Per-photo isRetouched flag for production workflow
Every Photo carries an isRetouched boolean. Your team's gallery view filters to only the un-retouched shots so nothing slips through unedited. Customer-facing galleries show the polished version automatically; the original stays addressable for re-edits.
- isRetouched indexed for fast 'needs polish' queries
- Filter gallery to retouched / un-retouched in admin UI
- Original cloudinaryId always preserved
- Re-edit anytime without re-uploading
- Edit list visible to managers for quality audits
- Pairs with AI-culling so only un-rejected shots get polish

Full feature list
Zno's Pro Retouch charges $0.50–$3 per image and runs as a separate render farm. Lightroom presets need a desktop and a render queue. Fotiqo's retouch chain composes into the Cloudinary URL — the polished JPEG appears the moment the customer asks for the photo, with full audit trail of which presets ran.
