Frequently Asked Questions

How does AgencyPro separate shoot time from editing and retouching billing?

AgencyPro lets you categorize photography work by service type, so shoots, basic editing, advanced retouching, and licensing can be tracked separately. When creating invoices, include these as distinct line items with different billing rates, showing clients what they pay for shoot execution versus post-production work. This separation helps justify photography pricing and demonstrates the comprehensive work behind professional photography services.

Can I bill differently for basic editing versus advanced retouching?

Yes, AgencyPro supports different billing rates for different service types. Track basic editing (color correction, exposure adjustments, basic cropping) separately from advanced retouching (skin smoothing, object removal, composite work), then bill each at appropriate rates. Clients see clear separation between standard editing and premium retouching services, helping them understand pricing differences and choose the level of post-production they need.

How do I invoice for usage rights and licensing separately from photography services?

AgencyPro supports line items beyond time-based billing, so you can add usage rights, licensing fees, and print costs as separate invoice line items. These can be billed as fixed fees or based on usage terms (duration, territory, media type), giving you flexibility to bill licensing separately from photography services. This separation ensures clients understand what they pay for image rights versus photography execution and post-production.

What if clients want rush editing or retouching with faster turnaround times?

AgencyPro supports project-based billing rates, so you can set higher rates for rush editing or retouching projects. When tracking time for expedited work, bill at rush rates, while standard timeline projects use regular rates. You can also create separate project types for rush work, making it easy to distinguish expedited projects in invoicing and ensure clients pay appropriately for accelerated delivery timelines.
