We can make your picture retain its natural
look with as little retouching as possible or we
can do a full retouch to make you look like a living doll. Its your choice
so let me know
what your looking to achieve before we begin. Also, if you want really glossy
lips or extreme colored eyes let me know that. Everyone has a different opining
of what they like and I try to accommodate everyone if they can communicate
to me what they are trying to achieve.
After you send payment and picture in large format I do the retouching and
email it back to you. Look it over well and email me back with any changes
you want made. I fix my own retouching for free, for example, you don't like
the way the eye lashes are done, There are more stray hairs, etc.
If you need something extra like mouth closed, more hair, etc that will cost
extra. Then I will make the appropriate changes and send the final version
back to you.
Note: The quality of the finished product is directly effected by the quality of the image you send me. Don't expect to send a small, grainy, dark, blurry picture and get the same result as a professional pageant head shot. In some cases it may not even be reasonably possible. An image can only be sharpened so much before if takes some major retouching work. Snapshots are harder to work from and will cost more to retouch properly. The best picture to work from is a large 300dpi minimum 8x10inch professional portrait. "NO WALMART, SEARS, JC PENNY, ETC., I have not yet know someone who was able to obtain a release from one of these studios." Although some snapshots can look very attractive they are very rarely of high enough quality to get a finished result equal to a professional pageant photographer. So unless you have a professional camera and know how to use proper lighting techniques, don't expect miracles.
Below is an example of the deference in clarity. What is and is not good for retouching.
|
Great quality you can see individual strands of hair
clearly
|
Fair quality you can make out strands but not clearly.
Still workable but not optimal
|
Poor quality Can't make out hair strands at all. Not
suggested.
|
If your picture is this blurry don't bother trying
to have me retouch it.
|
Note: If there are lighting
problems with the photo such as so dark, or so light in areas that the detail
is lost. Additional cost may be required depending on how much detail needs
replacing.
The pictures below show examples of a photo either
too dark or too light.
The areas circled in red are so light or dark that the detail has been lost.
