Masterful Retouching!

We have excelled in the art of digital retouching. This art is perfected when the retouching is not noticable, and our retouching is accurate and has the appearance of always having been there.

Our digital editing capabilities include:
  • Swapping heads from other pictures - (this makes very large family portraits bearable).
  • Taking out blemishes, scars, & wrinkles - with wrinkles we often don't remove them (that takes away personality and may make a person's skin look like plastic), instead we soften the wrinkles so they look more pleasant and "warm".
  • Removing of leaves, dirt, stray hair, etc. - these things are best removed before the picture is taken, but if they manage to sneak in we can remove them with ease.
  • Nipping, tucking, and otherwise changing bodily apearances - this may seem "wrong," and if done excessively then it probably is. However, if the camera actually does "add 10 pounds" then we can correct that! Again, retouching is only worth it if it is not noticable, so we only do body-sculpting sparingly. The example below shows how well we can do that!

Basic retouching (removal of blemishes, scars, dirt, etc.) is included in our Custom Enlarged prints, but you must be sure to tell us what you want done while ordering the prints. Extensive retouching (i.e. head-swaps, bodily altereations, etc.) is not included in these prints, but can be done for $12.50/ 15 minutes. We charge in 15 minute intervals because we do it so fast!

Here are some examples of what we can do in practically no time at all:

In case you missed it, the major changes are more muscles to the boy,
and a new head for the girl. Other changes are correcting color (he got a tan),
lighting/exposure, and removal of blemishes/ wrinkles/ bags under eyes.
