The retouch request arrives already paid
They tap the photo, pick from your priced menu and pay before you've opened a thing. The favour you used to do on a Sunday evening turns into a line item.
From awkward email to priced line item
A proper menu
Blemishes, skin tone, colour cast, relighting, removing something from the frame — a priced menu instead of an open-ended ask.
Paid before you start
The running total sits on screen before they pay, so the price is agreed and settled before you've opened a single file.
Your machine takes the first pass
The first version is produced on your own machine, then it waits for you — no outsourcing, no surprise third parties.
You are the gate
You see it side by side with the original and only approve the passes you'd put your name on. Weak pass? You don't approve it.
Requested, paid, approved, delivered
They pick from your menu
In the gallery they tap a photo and choose from the retouching options you've priced — no email, no 'could you just?'
They pay up front
The running total sits on screen and they pay before the request reaches you. Nobody is surprised at the end.
Your machine takes the first pass
A first version is produced on your own machine and left waiting for you, side by side with the original.
You approve, it delivers
Nothing reaches them until you say yes. Approve it and it lands in their gallery next to the original, printable and downloadable.
They want that one photo perfect. Let them pay for it.
Every gallery platform lets a client favourite a photo. Ours lets them ask you to fix one — and charges them for it. They tap the photo, answer a short priced quiz, and pay before you have touched a thing.
- A proper menu, not a text box: blemishes, skin tone, colour, relighting, removing the bin in shot
- You set the price on every option, and the running total is on screen before they pay
- Your own machine takes the first pass, so the work is half done before you open it
- Nothing reaches the client until you have seen it side by side and said yes
- Approve and it lands in their gallery next to the original — printable, downloadable, done
The email alternative nobody keeps a paper trail on
The 'could you just…?' email is how retouch requests arrive for most studios. This replaces that exchange entirely.
| How it stacks up | 'Could you just…?' emails — the usual way | lemon.gallery |
|---|---|---|
| Request | Open-ended ask | A priced menu |
| Payment | Invoice later, or never | Paid before you start |
| First pass | Your unpaid evening | Your machine, then you |
| Approval | Iterate in a thread | One side-by-side gate |

Questions, answered honestly
Just what the product actually does today.
What can a client actually ask for?
A proper menu rather than a text box: blemishes, skin tone, colour cast, relighting the subject, removing the bin in shot. You set the price on every option yourself, and the running total sits on screen before they pay, so nobody is surprised by the number at the end.
Does an edit go straight to my client without me seeing it?
No. Your own machine takes the first pass, then it waits for you. You see it side by side with the original and nothing reaches the client until you say yes. Approve it and it lands in their gallery next to the original, printable and downloadable.
What if the first pass isn't good enough?
Then you don't approve it. The review step is a gate rather than a formality, so a weak pass costs you the edit you'd have done by hand anyway and nothing else. Your client never sees a version you haven't signed off.
Won't it look like I'm charging clients to fix my own work?
That depends on what you put on the menu and what you charge for it, and both are yours to decide. This is for the changes that sit beyond the edit you delivered — removing something from the frame, relighting a face. If it doesn't suit a particular client, leave it switched off for that gallery.
