Automated resizing and format conversion of images

Purpose

1. Automate the transformation of image files to the correct sizes and formats required by clients, artists, marketplaces, or other stakeholders in airbrushing services.

2. Ensure consistent quality and standards for art asset delivery, portfolio creation, and client proofs.

3. Minimize manual labor and human error by systematically processing multiple image files at scale.

4. Instantly handle different file types—JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, and more—suitable for downstream uses such as web, print, and social media.

5. Guarantee compliance with unique client or gallery upload specifications for digital artwork submissions.

Trigger Conditions

1. New image upload detected in a cloud folder, email attachment, or web form.

2. Image submission via API or a digital marketplace order event.

3. Manual trigger by authorized team member within internal interface.

4. Scheduled batch processing (e.g., daily or weekly timed jobs for bulk file updates).

5. Change detected in central design asset directory or FTP location.
