Tech has allowed us “ordinary folk” to outsource those tasks that you may not relish doing– whatever chore you dread, you can find a service to help you with it (normally for a pretty reasonable price). Munchery lets you outsource cooking. Exec lets you outsource house cleaning. TaskRabbit even lets you outsource IKEA furniture assembly.
Next up in the round-up is Polish My Pics. This service is for people who love taking pictures, but who never have time to edit them. The service culls, edits, crops and then lightly color enhances your stash of digital photos when you simply don’t have the time. All you do is upload your pics to DropBox or Google Drive, and their team takes care of the rest. The process is easy. The prices are affordable. And turnaround times vary between 3 hours to 2 business days.
My favorite part of this service is the fact that they discard all duplicates and blurry pictures and sends you back a file full of only the beautiful, edited photos that are ready to upload to your favorite social site or print to frame. They also send you back all the original photo files, so nothing is ever lost.
It feels a little weird to send out my pictures for some unknown person to see and work with, but the benefits of having my pictures processed so quickly far outweigh my initial weirdness. So often I never do anything with my photos because I don’t have the time to edit them. The Polish My Pics photo editing service starts at $7.50 for 50 photos.
