Frequently Asked Questions
What is Image Retouching?
Image retouching is a specialized process in photo editing that involves enhancing or altering the appearance of a photograph to achieve a desired visual result. It involves adjustments to color, contrast, sharpness, and the removal or correction of imperfections such as skin blemishes, sensor dust, reflections, and distracting background elements.
Why is Image Retouching important in photography?
Image retouching is vital in photography to elevate the overall quality and visual impact of images. Even the most advanced cameras capture optical artifacts, lens distortion, and uneven lighting. Professional retouching refines skin tones, removes distracting blemishes, balances lighting, and makes photographs look striking and ready for commercial use.
What is frequency separation and why is it superior for portrait retouching?
Frequency separation divides an image into two distinct layers: high frequency (fine surface details like pores, eyelashes, and skin texture) and low frequency (color, shadow, and tone transitions). This allows retouchers to smooth blotchy tones without blurring away authentic skin pores, completely avoiding the fake "plastic" look created by basic smoothing filters.
Can you match the existing visual style or color grading of our brand?
Yes. You can supply reference images, color palettes, or Adobe Lightroom presets (.xmp / .lrtemplate). Our retouchers calibrate curve profiles to maintain strict visual consistency across your entire photo collection and marketing channels.
What file formats do you accept and deliver?
We accept all camera RAW formats (CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG), as well as TIFF, PSD, and high-resolution JPEG. We deliver deliverables in layered PSD (with adjustment layers and paths intact), uncompressed 16-bit or 8-bit TIFF, transparent PNG, and web-optimized WebP or JPEG.
What is your policy if I need changes made to the retouched image?
We offer unlimited free revisions until the images fully meet your expectations. Simply mark the area or reply to your order coordinator with your feedback, and our artists will adjust the layer parameters promptly.
