Celebrate productivity and creativity with these new features, designed to make your workflow as efficient and enjoyable as possible. Dive into a new era of editing with Pixlmob today!
✅ New and improved sidebar design:
The sidebar now includes collapsed menus showing each section or tab within the profile and admin views.
✅ Editor verification now happens within Pixlmob, instead of routing to a separate verification app. This makes verifying editors not only faster and easier but also onboards editors to the order flow within Pixlmob.
✅ Portfolio images are now required prior to verification.
✅ We've renamed “gallery” to “portfolio” on the editor profiles.
✅ Disabled GIFs as editor portfolio images.
✅ Added admin messaging within the order flow.
✅ Editors can now complete the verification process to add Floor Plans as a service on their Pixlmob profiles.
✅ Pixlmob's left sidebar now shows tabs for quick access to Profile, Portfolio, Services, etc.
✅ Editor's profiles now show categories of services: Image Enhancement (Single, HDR, and Flash + Ambient), Image Specialties (Virtual Staging, Object Removal, Day to Dusk, etc.), and Floor Plans.
✅ The structure of services has migrated to reflect a base + add-on pricing model, to simplify the order flow and provide more transparent pricing and more robust options for photographers and editors.
✅ Custom Floor Plans are now available from editors on Pixlmob!
Order 2D and 3D Custom Floor Plans that are texturized, colored, include Fixed Furniture, or Staged Furniture as well as measurements and total dimensions.
Using either a hand-drawn sketch or a link to a 3D tour (such as a Matterport), the editors can follow your order specifications to create a Custom Floor Plan.
Choose from Imperial or Metric measurements, select your final file type (PDF, PNG, etc.), provide dimensions to generate total square footage or meters, and more!
✅ A whole new order flow!
In preparation for many more new services and exciting changes to come, we’ve updated the process of placing an order within Pixlmob.
When you start an order for a service from an editor, an order details box will pop up where you can specify the number of photos in the order, the delivery turnaround time, links to the assets, notes to the editor, and any additional reference materials you’d like to provide.
order form
Add this service to your cart and you can then return to the same editor and place an order for an additional service from the same editor.
cart
Once you’ve added all of the services you’d like to order from that particular editor, complete the checkout process to pay for the order.
This new Base + Add-on or Upgrade order process creates clearer transparency around what’s included in your order, provides additional spaces for you to add instructions for the editor, and empowers you to select exactly the deliverables you’d like to order.
As you’re building your cart for a project within Pixlmob, you’ll see each service you’ll be ordering listed on the right side of your view and also have the ability to edit or remove a service from a project before placing the order.
It’s important to note that in our current order process, you must finish the order from an editor before moving on to order from a different editor. If you change editors after starting an order, your order details will not be saved. (You’ll receive a pop-up warning before this takes place.) We’ll be expanding features in this scenario very soon.
✅ We’ve organized our services into clear categories:
Image Enhancements include Single image editing, HDR, and Flash + Ambient (Flambient) editing.
Image Specialties include Virtual Staging, Day-to-Dusk, Object Removal, and more.
Custom Floor Plans include 2D and 3D Floor Plans.
You’ll see these categories listed on our home page and as tabs on each editor’s profile.
categories 2
✅ Updated order status: “Submitted” is now “In Progress”
When you place an order from an editor and they either manually accept the order or have automatic order acceptance turned on, the status of the order will be “In Progress.”
Once the editor has delivered the order to the photographer, the status will be “In Review” until the photographer accepts the edits or requests revisions.
✅ Editors now receive a checklist for each service ordered with the notes and requirements for that service. The checklist must be completed in full before the editor is able to deliver the order.
editor checklist
✅ The links within an order to the "Source Files Folder" and to the "Finished Files Folder" have moved to be within the service itself. As an editor, click on the service ordered to access the folders and checklist.
✅ When you place an order, the number of deliverables (aka final files) will be listed, to provide additional clarity on how many finished files you expect to receive.
🗣️ After receiving valuable feedback from our users, we made an additional change to the order flow:
Instead of adding a link for each service you order from an editor, you'll now see an option to use the same link from the previously added service.
This will show until you've completed your cart and proceed to checkout.

We have more updates coming soon so stay tuned!

✅ Glossary of terms related to video editing has been published in Intercom to clarify the services, add-ons, and options.

✅ Bug fixes and quality of function upgrades
✅ We've updated the names of several services:
  • Single Images --> General Image Enhancement
  • HDR Images --> Bracketed Images
  • Flash + Ambient --> Flambient Images
✅ Updates to the editor's configuration to Pro Enhancements in anticipation of an upcoming release to better streamline add-ons for Image Enhancement Services
✅ Pro Enhancements are now Image Enhancement Add-ons!
When we launched Pixlmob in November of 2022, we quickly realized we wanted to restructure how Pro Enhancements fit into the ordering workflow and began tackling hurdles to pave the way for a new Base + Add-on order structure within the Pixlmob platform. After conversations and suggestions from many of our users, we’re excited to roll out 2 key changes to Image Enhancement Add-ons:
While Pro Enhancements were grouped together as an all or nothing option, for Image Enhancement Add-ons, we've separated them into 4 options, so you can better customize your others:
  • Fireplace Composite: Add fire to indoor and outdoor fireplaces or fire pits.
  • Sky Replacement: Sky replacement involves digitally replacing the original sky in an image with a different sky, often to enhance the mood, correct exposure, or create a more visually appealing composition. This does not include creating a Day-to-Dusk image.
  • TV Screen Replacement: Correcting or replacing the image or reflection on the TV screens in all photos
  • Minor Blemish Removal: Includes correcting small lawn or driveway blemishes, removing photographer reflections from mirrors, editing lens flares, and other similar minor retouches. The scope of the editing required to correct the image is determined by the editor and could incur additional services, such as Object Removal.
Instead of paying an additional fee per image for all Add-ons, you’ll now pay a flat rate per 50 images for each Add-on you select.
addon
✅ You can now save orders as Drafts to be completed later!
We’ve been hard at work engineering a more robust foundation to the workflow within Pixlmob and are excited about many new features ahead, the first of which is Draft orders!
draft
When creating an order, you can choose to:
  • Complete the checkout to place the order from the editor.
  • Discard the drafted order.
  • Save the order as a Draft.
With this new feature:
  • You or an admin can draft orders in advance to speed up your post production workflow so your orders are ready to send off to editing as soon as your assets are in place.
  • You can duplicate a past order as a Draft to quickly reorder the same services and quantities from the same editor without starting a new order from scratch.
Access your saved Drafts from your Orders page in your Dashboard.
  • You’ll see the Drafts marked in a new section at the top of the page.
  • Orders in the Drafts section have not yet been submitted to an editor and the checkout process needs to be completed before the editor will receive the order.
  • If you need to delete an order from your Drafts, you can do so by selecting Delete Draft from the *** menu on the right side of the order.
Draft Orders will be marked with one of 2 statuses:
  • Draft - Incomplete means your Draft order is missing information, such as the order name, the links for your assets and/or your finished folder and the missing information must be added before the order can be placed. This status will be in red.
  • Draft, noted as a green status, means your order information is complete and when you’re ready, you can complete the checkout process for the Draft and submit the order to the editor.
✅ Additional views and controls from the Admin panel will assist the Pixlmob team in locating and resolving orders much more efficiently and quickly!
