Fashion photo retouch with colour grading (1 photo)

This service covers the hand retouch of one fashion or editorial image, with skin smoothing, flyaway tidy-up, background cleanup and colour grading matched to a reference or mood board you supply.

In fashion and editorial work, a single image often carries the whole impression it creates, whether it sits on a model's portfolio, a brand's feed or a lookbook. Patchy skin tone, loose hairs, creased fabric or a dull colour cast can hold back an otherwise strong photograph. Careful retouching bridges that gap and gives the shot a finished, professional feel.

With this order we retouch one fashion or editorial photograph by hand. Skin is cleaned and evened out while its natural texture is preserved, avoiding an artificial or over-smoothed look. Flyaway hairs are tidied, the background is cleaned, and colour grading is applied to align with the reference image or mood board you provide, giving the final file the look and feel of polished magazine work.

To begin, upload your photo as a RAW, JPEG or TIFF file along with a reference image or a short note describing the colour mood and finish you want. The work is carried out by hand in Adobe Photoshop. Should the first version need adjusting, send clear notes and we will refine it until the result matches your brief. Delivery takes place within 2 days of receiving your files.

Consider this a sample of our broader editorial retouching work, which extends the same approach across a full set of images for a consistent look throughout, including hair and clothing cleanup, background extension, body shaping and matched grading from frame to frame. Should this single image meet your standard, the fuller service can bring the rest of your shoot up to the same finish.
