How does the Retouching process work?

When placing a Custom Retouching order, you'll describe the work you want done and upload the RAW or high resolution JPG images. We then look over the request and provide a free quote for the work within about one business day. At that point, you have the option to approve or reject the quote.

As we get familiar with each other, you'll be able to skip the quote step by pre-approving a maximum budget for the order. We'll only charge for the amount of time it takes, and if we need more time, we'll send a quote like before.

For Basic & Advanced Retouching orders, we'll do the retouching in your Lightroom Classic CC (v8 or v9) catalog. Simply flag the images yellow you want retouched in Lightroom, enter the total of images for the service you choose and send us a link to your Lightroom catalog and Smart Previews. These are ideal if you’d like final touches made to a few of your stand out images for social media, your blog, albums, or print.

Here is a list of what is included, for Basic and Advanced Retouching:

Our Basic Retouching -

• Radial/Graduated filter
• Skin blemish removal
• Basic flyaway hair removal (around head)

Our Advanced Retouching:

You can add either Basic or Advanced retouching onto a Color Correction order while you're placing an order, or you can place an order solely for Basic/Advanced Retouching!
