Lightroom Retouching

Lightroom Retouching is done entirely in Lightroom Classic CC (v10, 11 or 12)!

For Lightroom Retouching we’ll use the radial/graduated filters in Lightroom, remove blemishes, remove fly-away hairs around heads, plus we’ll whiten eyes and teeth and soften skin. $2.00/img

Just be sure to flag the images you’d like retouched with the yellow label in Lightroom. At this time, this service is only valid for orders with Smart Previews + a Lightroom catalog (v10, 11, or 12).

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