Photo & Visual Editor — micro1
What the work involves
This is the one role in micro1's new creative family where you touch the files rather than just judging them. You get a set of images and a purpose, you pick the frame that serves it, you correct the technical problems in that frame, and you explain both decisions. Selection is the first half: exposure, focus, color, noise, crop, and the judgement call about which near-identical frame has the better moment in it. The second half is the part that carries an ethical edge. You are asked to mark images that were altered in a way that changes what they show, and to check that captions and descriptions match the picture rather than the intended story. In a dataset being built to train models, that distinction between a corrected image and a misleading one is the whole point.
Retouching then follows the brief, so the finish has to serve the use rather than your taste. Pay is $50–$105/hr, 50 openings, worldwide.
