Digital Retouching Services

Sometimes you need a little extra help to look your best. Or maybe you want to create a look for your photos that's as unique as you are. Whatever you have in mind, our digital retouching artists can work magic with your pictures.

All retouching is done to a copy of the original file of your photograph. Once the retouching work is complete, you can have as many prints made from the photograph as you want. If you've purchased the digital negatives of your wedding photos, your retouching services will also include a copy of the modified high-res file.

The most popular type of retouching services. If you've ever picked up a fashion magazine or admired photos of celebrities or models, you've already seen some of the possibilities of digital retouching. Most every photo published in non-news publications is modified in some way. Under some lighting conditions, the camera can be very unforgiving and reveal imperfections and blemishes that aren't even noticeable to the eye.

Possibilities:

  • Teeth whitening
  • Blemish removal
  • Aging reduction
  • Stray hair correction
  • Eyeglass glare removal
  • Skin shine reduction
  • Eye color change

Costs

Blemish removal and teeth whitening
We will perform minor blemish removal and basic teeth whitening free of charge on up to 5 photos from a single wedding, upon request. Additional photos are $50 each.

Advanced cosmetic retouching
These services are performed on a special quotation basis. Average cost is $100 per typical photograph (single person), such as the examples below.
