Can You Still Make Money as a Photo Editor?

Photo editing was one of the well sought after job in the recent past. If you could use photo editing software like Photoshop or Lightroom, or apps like PicsArt, Snapseed, or Pixlr, you could easily get hired on freelancing sites like Fiverr and Upwork. Some of the popular jobs in this industry were removing backgrounds, retouching photos, adding or taking away objects or people from photos, airbrushing images, and more. However, with the evolution of Generative AI, these days everyone can edit photos in few clicks.

Yes indeed. The venture is still very profitable especially in the developing countries whereby more has to be done to beef up the technology especially on the visual creation of videos and media services.

Websites like Upwork have many photo editing jobs. You can also offer your services on Fiverr. Or, you can sell your editing skills on social media, like Instagram. Instagram is especially good for this because it's all about sharing pictures.

Over here being a photo editor is still a lucrative business, especially if you can also enlarge and turn them into frames. Though everyone can edit their pics with lots of apps these days but in the end not everyone can be professionals.

Despite the existing of AI tools for editing photos, photo editors are still in demand. By the way, you can combine photography with photo editing and maximize your earning potential.
