Photo Retouching

I do professional image editing to alter and manipulate an image to enhance its quality.
Eliminating imperfections, color and tone correction, contrast and saturation of color. Adding or subtracting elements from an image
to enhance a visual message. Creating a mood
or feeling by taking effort and paying attention
to details when overall quality is extremely important.

I restore old, historical, and archival photos to achieve the best possible digital and print restorations. Fix blemishes, fade spots, water marks, dust, and scratches to bring original integrity back to images. Provide archival scanning of slides, negatives, or prints set to the right dpi to achieve print usage goals or create save for web images.

Adjust image colors and skin tones to make
them accurate and natural as possible. Intensify desaturated and dull images by increasing saturation. Create the right tonal balance of
an image. Repair shadow areas. Over 10 years
of meeting magazine publication standards
of excellence.

I combined photographs or digital images with photoshop to create one amazing image. They can be simple or extremely complex to produce an image that appears real and unretouched. Combine photos, on several layers, including the use of layer masks.

Skin tone color correction is about blending the color in desaturated areas adding tone and texture to look realistic while keeping the light source consistent. It’s achieved by cloning, adding tone or adjusting CMYK in the channels. Tonal correction is important when repairing cell phone photos for print.

I create accurate clipping paths at an affordable rate. Work with volume clients to do the heavy lifting at volume rates, for both difficult and easy outlines cost the same. The value comes in quantity and quality. Take the necessary time
to create a soft or hard outlined edge and that allows for a dark background and the best composite usage depending on final use.

Includes editing, retouching, outlining, file management, processing, exporting images and assigning image profiles for print production. Image file management backed up on G drives. Create high-resolution, web ready, and optimized images with keywords and metadata for the internet.
