### **Overview**

More than 60% of jobs uploaded to GotPhoto are added in multiple batches. This often means that editing must also be done in batches.

To simplify this process, you can now send individual images or specific albums for editing instead of submitting the entire job. This feature gives you more control and flexibility, especially when your uploads are staggered over time.

In case you don't see the feature yet in your account, no worries, we are rolling it out gradually to all users, it will soon be available to you!

![Button to send selected images to editing](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/3cB6RLDKJNW2otWi1QypmxXv7PFsMOkieQ.png)

![Confirmation screen for submitting photo edits](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/2NsCiYyoS9RR4AAP0eJ2P3EXq75aUszC7A.png)

\[Important\] Access to job settings, Photo Management, and job status will be temporarily disabled while editing is in progress. For AI-powered services, downtime is minimal. For human-powered services, expect the job to be inaccessible until editing is complete.

### **Turnaround time**

The turnaround time depends on the service and number of images. Below is a general estimate:

| Editing service | Estimated turnaround |
| --- | --- |
| [Basic editing with Perfectly Clear](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/use-perfectly-clear-for-ai-powered-photo-editing-in-gotphoto?hsLang=en) | 2–15 minutes |
| [Verified Basic Editing by Pro Image Experts](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/editing-service-basic-editing-human-led?hsLang=en) | 3–5 business days |
| [AI extractions with Pure Photo](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/editing-service-background-extractions?hsLang=en) | 10 minutes–3 hours |
| [AI extractions with 36Pix](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/editing-service-background-extractions?hsLang=en) | 10 minutes–3 hours |
| [Verified Background Removal by 36Pix](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/editing-service-background-extractions?hsLang=en) | 48 hours |

### **FAQs**

**Do I need to activate the access codes before requesting the editing service?**  
Yes, you must activate the access codes before requesting a service.

**Can I request the service while the job is set to Selling?**  
Yes, although technically possible, it's best to deactivate the album or move the images to a deactivated album during editing to prevent customer interruptions.

**Can I request the service for a deactivated album?**  
Yes, editing services can be requested for images within deactivated albums.

**Can I select multiple albums in a job?**  
Only one album can be selected at a time. However, you can submit multiple albums one by one. AI editing is typically quick.

**Can I run multiple editing requests for different individual galleries at the same time?**  
You can send one request at a time. Once the current one is finished, you can start the next. 

### **The takeaway**

By following these instructions, you can send either entire albums or individual images for editing, giving you more flexibility and control over your workflow. This feature is especially helpful when dealing with staggered uploads or batch edits.
