Retouching

Product photo retouching

Product photos cleaned of dust, marks and background clutter, with colour that matches the real item.

About this service

A product photo has one job: show the object as it is and make someone want it. Dust, scratches, stray reflections and a messy floor all get in the way. I clean those things up and leave the object itself honest.

What I do

  • Clean up the background, the floor and the edges
  • Remove dust, fingerprints, scratches and stray marks
  • Correct colour so the photo matches the real product
  • Straighten, crop and balance a set so the images belong together
  • Highlight the best part of the product with careful light and contrast

How it works

  1. Send a few sample images and tell me how they will be used: web, print or a marketplace.
  2. I quote the job. Product retouching takes 2 to 3 business days.
  3. You send the full set. I return finished images by secure download.

Honest results

I do not change what a product looks like. Customers who receive something different from the picture send it back. The aim is a clean, flattering image that matches the item in the box.

Questions

Good things to ask

How fast is retouching?

Product and e-commerce images take 2 to 3 business days. Wedding and family batches take 14 business days. Other turnarounds are agreed in the quote.

Do you edit batches for wedding and family photographers?

Yes. I sort, colour-correct and process whole sets so they read as one consistent gallery. Larger batches earn a bigger discount. See wedding and family batch editing.

Will my portraits look over-processed?

No. My aim is a natural result: skin, face and hair cleaned up while the person stays recognisable. If you want a lighter or stronger touch, tell me and I match it.

Do I need to visit you for retouching?

No. Retouching is online. You send files, I return finished images by secure download.
