Magic Layers Asset Refresh Sprint (5-7 days)
A five to seven day engagement that converts flat client images into named, transparent layers, enabling creative repurposing without original source files and integrating with Photoshop, Figma, and Canva.
- Client provides at least 30 flat PNG or JPEG images for layer separation
- Agency has an active Magic Layers account with sufficient credits (Basic plan at $29/month for 400 credits)
- Access to Photoshop, Figma, or Canva for final layer integration
- Client approves a target layer count per image (e.g., 4-8 layers) and optional separation descriptions
- Clear delivery format agreed: named transparent PNGs plus a base image
- 1.Set up Magic Layers account and review the separation interface, noting input parameters like image file, target layer count, and optional separation description
- 2.Run a pilot on 5 sample images to calibrate layer counts and separation quality
- 3.Document the optimal settings for different image types (e.g., product shots vs. marketing banners)
- 1.Receive and catalog client images into a structured folder system
- 2.Upload first batch of images to Magic Layers, specifying target layer counts and separation descriptions where needed
- 3.Download the base image and named transparent PNGs for each processed asset
- 1.Continue processing remaining images in batches, monitoring credit usage against the 400-credit Basic plan
- 2.Verify that text, subjects, decorations, and backgrounds are correctly separated into named layers
- 3.Flag any images that require re-processing or manual adjustment
- 1.Organize the delivered layers into a labeled folder system per client asset
- 2.Integrate the layered PNGs into Photoshop, Figma, or Canva to confirm compatibility
- 3.Create a simple reuse guide for the client, explaining how to edit text or swap backgrounds in their preferred tool
- 1.Deliver the structured folder system and reuse guide to the client
- 2.Conduct a walkthrough session demonstrating how to repurpose a layered asset for a new campaign
- 3.Collect client feedback and adjust the workflow for future batches
With a $1,800 productized fee and a tool cost of $29 per month (covering the credit usage for 30 images), the agency retains over 98% margin on the tool cost. Even if the client requires 600 layers, the Pro plan at $79 still leaves a margin above $1,700 per engagement.
- Structured folder system with named transparent PNG layers for each asset
- Base image files for all processed assets
- Simple reuse guide for client teams
- Integration notes for Photoshop, Figma, and Canva
- Credit usage report showing layer counts and costs
All client images are processed into named transparent layers, delivered in a labeled folder system, and the client confirms they can repurpose at least one asset in their preferred design tool.
