What Does Photo Retouching Include?
Retouching is the detail work that follows the basic edit. Where color correction sets the overall look, retouching fixes what sits inside the frame: specks on a lens, scuffs on a sneaker, flyaway hair, a blemish, a reflection that hides a logo or a cable running across a room. Each change is made with healing, cloning and frequency tools, so texture survives.
- Dust, scratches and sensor spots removed
- Skin smoothed while pores stay visible
- Layered PSD on request

Photo Retouching FAQs
What is a photo retouching service?
A photo retouching service fixes details inside a picture after the basic edit. Editors remove dust, blemishes, scuffs, stray hairs and unwanted objects, smooth skin while keeping texture, and polish product surfaces. The work is done by hand in Photoshop, so every change is judged frame by frame instead of applied as one filter.
How much does photo retouching cost?
Retouching starts at $1.50 per image for light cleanup, $2.50 for typical portrait and product work, $8 for busier frames and group shots, and $12 for high-end beauty or campaign images. We confirm the exact price by email after reviewing your files, and you pay only after agreeing to it.
Will my portraits look fake after retouching?
No. Our approach is to remove what distracts, such as a temporary blemish or shine, and keep what makes a person recognizable, including freckles, laugh lines and skin texture. Tell us how light or strong you want it, and that level is applied to the whole gallery.
How fast do you deliver retouched photos?
Most orders are delivered 24 hours after payment. Need it sooner? Rush retouching can be done in as little as 6 hours, and an extra charge may apply. Large shoots are scheduled in the quote, so you know the delivery date before any retouching starts.
Can you retouch product and jewelry photos too?
Yes. Product retouching covers dust, fingerprints, scratches, label fixes and dull metal or plastic. For rings, chains and gemstones we also have a dedicated jewelry editing team. Send a sample and we suggest the right level for your catalog.
Is my client’s photography kept private?
Yes. Files are handled only by our in-house team, never shared or used in our portfolio without written permission, and we sign an NDA when you need one. Agencies receive every image unbranded, so the retouched set can go to their clients under their own name.
How do I order photo retouching?
Upload sample images through the form on this page or share a cloud link for a whole shoot. Your exact price is emailed back; once you pay by PayPal, Visa or Mastercard, retouching starts. Two free revisions and our 100% money-back guarantee cover every retouching order.
Send Your Photos for a Retouching Quote
Upload a few frames and your notes. We reply with an exact price and delivery time, then retouch every image by hand once payment clears.
