No matter the portrait type, when you outsource portrait photo retouching from us, you can be sure that our fundamental principle is to enhance rather than drastically alter the essence of your image. Below is an additional guiding framework that we use while Editing Photo Portraits:
-
Maintaining a natural and authentic appearance of the model while enhancing features that are considered beautiful by science.
-
Permanent features such as scars, moles, and freckles should remain untouched. They can be highlighted or minimized in visibility but should not be eliminated entirely.
-
Temporary features such as pimples, bruises, and redness can be corrected or entirely removed since they are not typical of the model's skin on regular days.
-
Skin texture can be smoothed out for a pleasing appearance, but it shouldn't be overly refined to look unnaturally flawless.
Although the primary aim of Retouching Photo Portraits is to maintain authenticity in depicting the subject, there exists a clientele with differing preferences. Some individuals actively seek photo retouching services to achieve a flawless image appearance. This demand for in-depth retouching is also prevalent in the beauty and fashion industry or advertising campaigns. The overarching principle remains that unless expressly requested by the client, a restrained approach is advisable when retouching portraits.

Tools A Professional Editor Uses When Applying Portrait Photo Touch Ups
Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard and provides a vast arsenal of tools for portrait enhancement, cleaning and beauty retouching. Photoshop tools such as “Stamp”, “Patch”, “Healing Brush” and for instance, enable portrait retouchers to eliminate defects and enhance image quality effectively do not significantly alter its appearance.
Conversely, high end and beauty retouching involves a more in-depth processing often used in advertising, making the retouching process more laborious, demanding the advanced knowledge of filters, masks, and layer blending modes from a Portrait Photo Retoucher as well as a superior understanding of fashion trends and facial aesthetics.
