What is retouching, and why would you need it?

Retouching is a subtle and delicate process that helps to make the best of any photo by enhancing the natural beauty in the portrait or landscape by removing distractions.

1. Clean up Messy Backgrounds: A messy background can be one of the most distracting elements in a photo.
2. We can remove distracting objects and smooth out colours so that the viewer’s eyes stay locked on the subject.
3. Fixing Exposure: Most techniques in retouching come down to light and shadow.

Where do the highlights and shadows fall? Are there any areas that are too bright, too dark, or missing detail? We smooth out light transitions so that a photo appears to have better exposure.

Suppose you are thinking of printing or using your photographs for marketing. We recommend you make sure they are the best they can be and the correct size format.
