Wedding Photo Batch Edit - AI-Assisted Retouch + Culling + Album (with time log)

Small paid one-time task (fixed price). I need a batch of wedding photos edited and a short album laid out, plus a simple time log. What I will provide (after we start, via a shared link, all kept on Upwork): - A folder of ~300-500 raw wedding photos. What to deliver: 1) A retouched set: consistent color/exposure/white-balance, basic skin/blemish cleanup. AI batch tools are welcome - that is the point. 2) A culled selection: pick the keepers and give me a short reason list. Some frames in the set are intentionally unusable - out of focus, subject's eyes closed, or exact duplicates. Please flag and EXCLUDE those, and tell me exactly which ones and why. Do NOT silently pad the count, and do NOT quietly drop frames without telling me - honest culling is exactly what I want to see. 3) One simple electronic album layout (PDF or a single shareable file), 15-25 spreads, from your culled keepers. 4) A short time log: for each stage (import/cull, batch retouch, individual fixes, album layout), note roughly how much time was AI-tool-assisted vs. done manually by hand. Acceptance criteria (agreed before you start): - Deliverables 1-4 above, delivered as files on Upwork by the milestone deadline. - The culled list correctly identifies the unusable/duplicate frames (accuracy over volume). - The time log is your honest best estimate per stage - I am not judging the numbers, I just need them recorded truthfully. Please keep all work and communication on Upwork. To apply, answer briefly in your proposal: 1. Which AI tools would you use for the retouching and culling, and for which stages? 2. Roughly how long would a 300-500 photo set take you? 3. If some photos are unusable, how do you normally handle them? Thank you.
