The first step in any photo retouching process is color correction. Even when using professional equipment, setting up lighting, and conducting shoots in a studio environment, in 99% of cases, the resulting photo will require professional color adjustment. The exception might be artistic photography, where subtle color distortion serves as part of the photographer's concept. But what about shots taken in real-world conditions? Why does this happen? Let's delve into it.

After capturing a shot in perfect conditions and comparing it to the scene you just photographed, you might notice that colors in reality and on the digital screen differ. Even the best camera always captures colors with slight deviations, just a bit differently from how the human eye perceives them. Additional factors, such as lighting or reflected light, introduce even more variables to the final outcome. In other words, if the goal is minimal photo processing, color correction is essential because it's necessary to correct the photo's color to give it a maximally realistic appearance.

Color Adjustment, Saturation Correction, and other Techniques for Enhancing Photos

What additional goals can we achieve through photo color correction?

  • Adjusting the brightness and contrast of the photo, its saturation, and sharpness.
  • Improving the photo's color and light balance that couldn't be achieved during the shoot.
  • Infusing the photo with a specific style or mood.
  • Coordinating a series of photos to have a consistent style.
  • Maintaining the photographer's signature touch during retouching.

Let's move on to the practical side.

How to adjust colors in photos and make photos more vibrant?

A photo retoucher is a profession that requires not only specialized knowledge, skills, keen observation, and years of experience but also, of course, expensive and high-quality equipment. To accurately edit colors in a photo, the retoucher should work on a professional, properly calibrated monitor. Of course, we would like all lighting work to be done during the shoot in every photo session, leaving minimal details for post-processing. However, sadly, this is not always the case. In such situations, skill in understanding color, adjusting tones and saturation, working with brightness, contrast, and color balance, all of which a professional retoucher possesses, is essential.

What stages does professional color adjustment involve?

  • For the most accurate color correction, files for retouching should be provided to the retoucher in Raw format. It is from these files that the digital artist can obtain the maximum amount of information to edit the image optimally. Working with these files takes place in the Camera Raw plugin for Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom. All these are the most convenient programs for retouching today.
  • Brightness Adjustment
  • Tone Correction. Basically bringing a single tone to a photo or series of photos.
  • Saturation and Intensity Correction of the photo. Saturation can be decreased or increased for both the entire photo and its individual elements, depending on the subject. For example, clothing elements can be emphasized while leaving the skin color natural. Or highlighting a character without affecting the background.
  • White Balance Adjustment.
  • The final stage is correcting the colors themselves. Color is adjusted depending on the photography style or the tasks set before the retoucher. Additionally, the lighting during shooting affects the original photograph's colors - this needs to be taken into account during retouching.

Color adjustment of a photograph is a complex procedure that requires prolonged meticulous work. Just a couple of mistakes, and your photo will lose not only its charm but also the quality of professional photography. We recommend entrusting this task to professional photo retouchers. A dedicated team that works with the RetouchMe app. With RetouchMe, you no longer need to puzzle over hours of retouching or worry while waiting for results from a new retoucher. Just a few clicks and your photos are in reliable hands! Shall we begin?

Definitely worth the price, recently editing times have increased greatly and now I don't see an option to pay more coins to speed up but I understand times are tough and headcount of editors might be low, the editors do a great job at editing and that is what matters most at the end of the day. Thank you for keeping this app running behind the scenes. I will be a lifetime customer. Hope to see the speed up editing option back!

Tremendously fast & for the most-part, high quality edits! I’ve had a few I had to resubmit due to complete misses, so I wish that process was a bit more customer friendly & that I didn’t have to pay again for a replacement edit. But overall, great service!

well this is not a free app, there is a 99 cent renewable option for 20 retouches. I bit the bullet, bought, and glad I did. As a plus, the retouch was easy to use and natural looking not overdone
