Soft or collinear photon emission potentially poses numerical problems in the phase-space integration of radiative processes. In this paper, a general subtraction formalism is presented that removes such singularities from the integrand of the numerical integration and adds back the analytically integrated contributions that have been subtracted. The method is a generalization of the dipole formalism of Catani and Seymour, which was formulated for NLO QCD processes with massless unpolarized particles. The presented formalism allows for arbitrary mass and helicity configurations in processes with charged fermions and any other neutral particles. Particular attention is paid to the limit of small fermion masses, in which collinear singularities cause potentially large corrections. The actual application and the efficiency of the formalism are demonstrated by the discussion of photonic corrections to the processes \gamma \gamma --> t \bar t (\gamma), e^- \gamma --> e^- \gamma (\gamma), and \mu^+ \mu^- --> \nu_e \bar\nu_e (\gamma).
