Retouch and Photoshop "Fixes"

Level 1:  These photo editing processes are FREE and included in your package (for headshots, portraits, product photography, artworks):

• Exposure correction – photo too bright or too dark addressed
• Colorcast correction – overall color too green, too magenta, too blue, too yellow, etc.
• Some blemish/spots removal – I give a light “once-over.”  See next options for more extensive work.
• Even up skin tones – blotchy skin tones addressed.
• Eyes and teeth brightened – redness and yellow-ish removed or lightened (end result will look natural).

Level 2:  I do not apply quick-fix filters.  I use Photoshop methods to create more natural or true-to-life results.  Photoshop is amazing, but not all “problems” can be fixed.  I charge for these Photoshop "Fixes." Add $15-$30 for each item. These are optional extras. Add $15-$30 for each photo you want to have the fix applied to.  Average 45 minutes: 

• Facial or neck wrinkles removed or softened – such as “crow’s feet” “laugh lines,” etc.  Or “make me look younger!”
• Issues with facial skin addressed, such as blemish damaged skin, scars, light sunburn, small areas of razor burn, dark spots, moles, etc.
• Changes made to face shape (double chin, reduce jawline, reduce cheeks, reduce double-chin or neck wrinkles, etc.).
• Changes made to hair, head, arms, legs, body shape.  
• Coloring in gray roots.
• Remove extensive reflection in glasses.
  
• Clothing wrinkles removed or softened, where possible.  Please come to your session with clean clothing, pet hairs removed and pressed if needed.
• Background: Remove or replace (i.e., color change, digital background).
  
• Transparent background .png file $30-$45 depending on complexity.
  

Level 3:  Add $30-$60 for digital plastic surgery, for each photo. In no way do I guarantee these fixes can be done, only that I can give my estimate and try.  Average 1.5 hours and up: 

• Extensive skin tone retouch – recent sunburn, rosacea, razor burn, extensive scarring, wrinkles, discoloration, etc.
• Extensive body reshaping.
• Remove something from or add something to the photo (where possible), or significantly alter appearance.
• Cutout or White “knockout” background (for example: Amazon-style photos).

​MAKEUP - HAIR
I do not provide makeup or hair services myself, but I am happy to recommend a professional.  Ask me for my list.  

Makeup Tips:

Makeup:  Less is more, especially with digital photos.
Light moisturizer is OK (guys, too).
Matte foundation makeup closely matched to your natural skin tone is OK.  But, if you don’t usually wear it, I actually prefer you go without.  Then, I have nice, clean skin to work on.  Blemishes are easily removed later in Photoshop.
Gloss lipstick is OK.
Keep to minimum:  Super glossy, shimmery, glittery, silvery eyeshadows or foundation, please.

CLOTHING:  

Wear freshly pressed, or smooth clothing.  Avoid small patterns.  Solid colors are best.  

Because - If your blouse or shirt is wrinkled I can sometimes use Photoshop to smooth out the wrinkles.  But, if there is a pattern to the fabric I may not be able to smooth out the wrinkles and match the pattern as well.  Photoshop is best when you can’t tell it’s been used to fix something.
