Fame Benefits from O2I’s Image Processing Services

Outsource2india, a pioneer in the outsourcing industry, has now proven its excellence at image processing. O2I now performs all the image processing work for Fame.

About Fame

In 1992 Fame was founded in Norway, by Torgrim and Trine Melhuus, siblings passionate about the art of photography. At present Fame has 13 studios, across Norway and has plans of doubling this number to 21, by expanding into Sweden and Denmark. By the end of this decade, Fame hopes to open 200 studios across Europe.

The Process

During the project, Fame would upload 100 to 120 folders on the FTP, on a daily basis. Each folder would approximately contain 35 to 40 images. Although there is a time difference of 4 hours between Norway and India, the Outsource2india team never failed to make the delivery 48 hours ahead of the deadline set by Fame.

The image enhancement work at Outsource2india included the following
