Image Retouching

Retouching is a post-production process designed to polish your image(s) by removing blemishes, under-eye circles, stray hairs, yellow teeth, etc., or even remove or change the background of an image. Standard retouching takes 2-3 business days (we can do rush orders if needed for a $30 fee).

Pricing:
Standard Retouching: $45/image
Rush Orders (same-day or next morning): $30 additional per order (up to 5 images)

Advanced Retouching: $65/image ($20 upgrade from Standard Retouch)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How many retouches are included?
One per look in your package unless otherwise mentioned! You can see the packages and retouches outlined on this page.

When do I get my retouches back?
Standard retouching typically takes 2-3 business days. Rush orders are completed same-day as long as you submit before 3pm. If you submit after 3pm, they are completed before 12pm the next day.

What is a retouching “pass”?
We consider a retouching pass any time we complete adjustments. In other words, any time we open an image and send you a new edit.

How many retouching passes do I get?
We offer two retouching passes on images. This includes the initial adjustments plus one additional set of edits if applicable. Please be as specific as possible! Further passes are charged as an "Advanced" retouch.

I don’t like my retouches, what do I do?
We consider retouching to be a collaborative process! We make general edits but recognize that each image necessitates different adjustments and everyone has different tastes. We do our best to get you the best image possible, but we ask for your patience if certain edits are difficult or we need clarification.
