The service

What a Retouch Artist Actually Does

A retoucher is not a tool operator. The work is judgement — what to change, how far, and what to leave alone — and that is why the same brief given to two people produces two different files.

You get a named person

One artist is assigned to your account and stays on it. They learn your preferences instead of rediscovering them, which is the whole difference between an agency and a marketplace.

Your style, recorded

Send finished images of your own and your contrast, warmth, skin treatment and crop are written down as a style guide, then applied to every order that follows.

Hand-edited, every frame

No batch actions, no AI pass, no filter presets. Each file is opened, worked and closed by a person, which is why complex frames do not fall apart.

A team behind the artist

When volume spikes, more artists join your account working to the same recorded style guide, and a second editor checks the set before it ships.

How it works

How Working With Our Retouch Artists Works

Four steps from raw frames to listing-ready files, with no account setup in between.

Step 01

Send your images

RAW, JPEG, TIFF or PSD by upload link, Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer or straight to your FTP.

Step 02

An artist is assigned

Matched to your discipline — portrait, product, jewelry, fashion — and kept on your account.

Step 03

Quality control

A second editor checks consistency, colour and detail across the whole batch.

Step 04

Delivery

Unbranded files return within 24 hours in your sizes. Revisions are unlimited.

What we edit

What Our Retouch Artists Work On

Artists specialise rather than generalise, so your files go to someone who works in that discipline daily. Drag any slider to see the real file, before and after.

Portrait & Skin Retouching

Blemishes, stray hairs and uneven tone corrected while pores and texture stay intact. Frequency separation and dodge and burn by hand, which is what stops a face reading as plastic in print.

  • Blemishes and stray hairs cleared
  • Pores and texture preserved
  • Dodge and burn by hand
  • Eyes and teeth lifted naturally

Dust, fingerprints and reflections removed, edges cleaned, shape corrected and shadow rebuilt so a product reads clearly at thumbnail size and survives listing zoom.

  • Dust and fingerprints removed
  • Reflections and hotspots controlled
  • Shape and symmetry corrected
  • Shadow rebuilt to look real

Jewelry & High-Detail Retouching

The most exacting work in the studio: metal tone unified, stones cleaned facet by facet, scratches removed and sparkle rebuilt without turning a photograph into an illustration.

  • Metal tone matched across a set
  • Stones cleaned facet by facet
  • Scratches and dust removed
  • Sparkle rebuilt, not faked

  • Colour matched to the sample

  • Props and surfaces cleaned

Why it converts

Why a Named Artist Beats a Queue

Most outsourced retouching problems are not skill problems. They are continuity problems.

Consistency is a people problem

Send the same brief to a different person each week and you get a different file each week. Keeping one artist on your account is the simplest fix, and it costs nothing extra.

Preferences compound

By the fourth order an artist who knows your work stops asking. The style guide carries what was learned, so the same standard survives holidays, volume spikes and staff changes.

Specialists are not interchangeable

A jewelry retoucher and a newborn retoucher have almost nothing in common in practice. Matching the discipline to the artist matters more than raw skill.

Salaried, not marketplace

Every artist here is in-house and salaried. Nobody is bidding your job down, and nobody disappears mid-project, which is the usual failure mode of freelance platforms.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a retouch artist?

A retoucher is someone who makes judgement calls about an image — what to correct, how far to take it and what to leave alone — and then executes them by hand. The tools are ordinary; the decisions are the job, which is why the same brief given to two people produces two different files.

Do I get the same artist every time?

Yes. One artist is assigned to your account and stays on it. If volume needs more people, they work to the same written style guide, and the original artist stays on the account as the reference.

Can you match my editing style?

Yes, and this is the part worth setting up properly. Send a set of your own finished images and your contrast, warmth, skin treatment and crop preferences are recorded as a style guide, then applied to every order that follows.

Is any of this done by AI?

No. Every file is opened and worked by a person. AI tools are fast on simple frames and fail on exactly the ones you would outsource — hair against a busy background, reflective metal, translucent fabric, anything needing a judgement call.

What kinds of retouching do you cover?

Portrait and skin, product and eCommerce, jewelry, fashion and apparel, high-end editorial, food, real estate, newborn, body and restoration. Each discipline has its own artists and its own page with the detail on it.

How much does a retouch artist cost?

From $1.00 an image for a basic retouch, $2.00 for portrait, product, jewelry or apparel work, and $4.00 for a full high-end editorial pass. Bulk orders of 10+ images are discounted, and 100+ up to 50%.

How fast is the turnaround?

Standard turnaround is 24 hours. High-end editorial and large batches run 24–48 hours, agreed upfront. Rush handling is available when a deadline is fixed.

Do you work white label?

Yes. Files come back completely unbranded, we never contact your client, and we will sign your NDA before any file moves. Most of our agency and photographer work is delivered under someone else's name.

What file formats can you work with?

RAW from any camera, JPEG, PNG, TIFF and PSD. Layered PSD files can be returned so your own team can adjust the retouch rather than starting again.

Is there a minimum order?

No. Send a single image, or start with the free trial of three. There is no minimum quantity and no sign-up.

What happens if the work is not right?

Send it back with notes and it is corrected. Revisions are unlimited. If revisions still do not resolve it, a money-back guarantee applies.

Can I hire an artist for ongoing work?

Yes, and most clients here do. Ongoing accounts get the same artist, a maintained style guide and agreed turnaround. Talk to us about volume and we will structure it around your shoot schedule.
