Introduction
"Before finding Crop.photo, I had searched tons of websites and options for the ability to have my membership headshots automatically cropped to the shoulders and the top of the heads, and to have the background removed. It seems like a simple process, but I had not been able to find it. When I found Crop.photo, I was so impressed with what I have seen so far and cannot believe how elegant their system is and how much of a blessing this is going to be. It's going to be so nice to have these photos automatically cropped and have the background removed, so that all of my members' headshots are uniform and cropped to the same level."
The Challenge
ICID World's diverse community of interior designers required a uniform professional presentation. Varied headshot styles, dimensions and backgrounds among members led to an inconsistent look on the community platform.
The search for an automation tool capable of handling the specific needs of bulk cropping and background editing proved fruitless initially. Existing solutions either lacked the necessary features or were not scalable for the size of ICID World's growing community, forcing them to consider expensive and time-consuming manual editing.
Efforts to develop a custom solution for bulk headshot editing were not only costly but ultimately unsuccessful. This not only increased expenses but also left the community without a viable solution, stalling enhancements to their online profiles and creating a gap in the community's branding.
