For examples of before/after beauty retouching click here to go to the www.grygarness.com site. This will let you see the models before as well as the retouched version. These images use a whole host of beauty techniques in Photoshop but if it's successful, it shouldn't look too retouched.
Various techniques used here: Eyes defined, lengthened eyelashes, refined colour. Skin retouched, blemishes and birthmarks removed while skin is kept sharp and natural. Matched skin tone and enhanced features. Stray hairs eliminated and crinkles in clothing removed. See the Photoshop training page to learn more about the beauty retouching training I offer.
I offer a world-wide retouching service for photographers and companies, and the images can be easily transferred through my ftp server, where you can both upload and download them. Minimum input/capture size is 25 mb, and the images must be of professional quality, with decent exposure and focus. We accept most RAW files, and can optimize the file to your choice of output. Please enquire about file formats. The more info you give up front, the easier it is for me to quote. The following info would be useful:
Capture format (Raw, Jpeg, Scan, etc.)
Digital back or camera model
Output file size
Visual reference if you need to match it
Retouching brief
Intended use of the image(s)
Please send the full-size image as a preview jpeg at 5 (low) quality to give me a rough idea of the image. A well capured image should be able to hold enough detail at this low compression to give me an idea of the original. It should also be possible to email as an attachment, even if the size is big. If it's a series of images, please send one (typical of the series) at full size and the rest at 50% size. These will not be the actual images for retouching – only a preview, to help me quote a price for the job. Access to upload the original full-res files to ftp will be arranged if the job is taken on.
