for photographers.

Keep control of the final image

A retouching brief that respects your work.

Headshots & portrait sessions

Use Portrait Polish Basic for the supported skin, exposure, fabric and technical color corrections. Explain what you have already edited and which features must stay. Basic preserves source dimensions and does not generate a new face, body or background.

Maternity & location portraits

Choose natural correction when the photograph already has the intended mood. Consider Cinematic when subject, setting, light and color need a coordinated creative plan. Painterly offers an automated artistic interpretation, with optional paid enlargement for a larger download. Tell us the intended print size in your brief, then check the output dimensions and fine detail before client delivery.

Example: a useful client-portrait brief

“Keep my warm color grade, skin texture, freckles and original backdrop. Reduce temporary blemishes and forehead shine. Do not change body shape. This file is for a client’s website.”

Name a background change or added element separately. A general request to “enhance” a photo does not define those permissions.

Test one portrait before committing a gallery.

  1. 01

    Send a representative file.

    Export a high-quality JPEG or PNG and retain your RAW master. Choose a portrait with the skin, lighting and detail typical of the job. Confirm permission for external processing.

  2. 02

    Agree the production brief.

    Review scope, price, availability, output and the current timing. Tell us about a delivery deadline before committing; estimates are not a guaranteed gallery turnaround.

  3. 03

    Inspect before client delivery.

    Compare eyes, skin, hands, fabric, jewelry and edges at a useful detail scale. Use the included targeted refinement within the accepted brief, then approve the exact version you intend to deliver.

Before you send client work.

Can I outsource a full portrait session?

Start with one representative portrait and inspect the result against your client brief. Orders use individual image assessments and accepted plans; this is not a promise of unattended batch matching, RAW development or a fixed turnaround for an entire gallery.

Will you match my existing editing style?

Describe the color, contrast and skin treatment to keep, and identify any edits already completed. An optional reference can communicate those traits. Exact matching is not guaranteed, so assess a representative result before using the service for client delivery.

Do I receive full-resolution or layered files?

Portrait Polish Basic retains the source dimensions during natural correction and delivers a JPEG. Generated Plus, sky, Painterly and Glamour results currently include a standard JPEG up to 1,536 pixels on the long edge. Larger files are available through optional enlargement: $2.99 up to 64 MP or $4.99 up to 128 MP, paid separately after you approve the Finished version in My Studio. Your full-resolution Original and Corrected versions remain separate during the file-retention period. Enlargement adds pixels; it does not recreate every detail of the original capture. Cinematic output is confirmed in its reviewed plan. Layered files are not automatically included; a human painting commission supplies its agreed master.

Are client photographs used in the public gallery?

A retouching upload is not public-gallery permission. Sign-in links private images and plans to your account. Necessary copies may be sent to external processing services, whose processing and retention policies apply. Obtain permission to submit and process client images and read the privacy information before uploading.
