RETOUCHING SERVICES: Retouching
RETOUCHING SERVICES
All retouching will be done digitally. This technology provides a superior product at an affordable price and enables the retouch artist to perform extensive retouching and corrections not previously possible. These changes are consistent through all print sizes.
Prices for retouching may vary depending on the complexity of the image.
You should request an archival CD of the corrected images so you can order more prints from the retouched image in the future.
Standard Retouching
Softening or removing lines or blemishes
Heavy Retouching
Extreme cases of acne, heavy bags and wrinkles, patchy skin. We will remove moles and freckles only if we are instructed to do so.
Object Removal
If an object is to be removed from an image, something must be put into the image, or part of the image must be copied to fill in the space. The complexity of the removal, and therefore how much time it will take, depends on the size of the object to be removed, and availability of areas to clone from in the image.
Opening Eyes/Head Swap
When requesting to open the eyes of a subject, submit all of the negatives or digital files needed to transpose the image. Submit both the image with the eyes closed and the image with the eyes open.
Left/Right Directions
When you are providing instructions for our digital artists and you are using the terms "left" or "right," please indicate whether you are referring to the left/right side of the print or the subject.
