Speaking exercise

This morning, I received a email which our India’s image quality team sent to me. It said that there was a critical issue that it needs SDC’s (Shanghai Development Center)’s supporting. And I was in the loop. So I tried to adjust the images parameter in otherwise which is one of image qualities tool.

After trying my best to do some adjustment, especially for low-density detail contrast, the images correct became closer to our competitor’s correct, like Fuji or Canon, our main competitor.

Although they still have a few gaps, but I made some screenshot to share team. With the optimized image result compared with the original image and competitor’s image in PPT, my manager response the mail quickly and thanked me for my quickly responding. And she asked India team that they would better give us customer feedback for the optimization.

And she sent another message to me. She was very proud of my professional adjustment because she can’t solve it I think. That was my value. I hope the optimization could help India’s team solve the issue.

After trying my best to do some adjustment, especially for low-density detail contrast, the images’ characteristics became closer to our competitor’s characteristics, like Fuji or Canon, our main competitors.

Although there were still a few technical gaps between our images and the competitors’, but I made some screenshots to share with the team. With the optimized image result compared with the original image and competitor’s image in PPT, my manager responded to the mail quickly and thanked me for my quick response. And she asked the Indian team to give us customer feedback about the optimization.
