Find professional photo editing and retouching near you

Even photos captured by professionals require editing and retouching to an extent. This process helps enhance the quality of the images. Skilled editors and retouchers use software like Adobe Photoshop to remove blemishes and make the image look more polished. You can count on them to correct any noticeable errors or emphasize certain elements that would make the image more striking. 

Below are some photo retouching services you can book on Airtasker.

Basic photo retouching

A skilled retoucher can help minimise or completely edit out minor imperfections like blemishes, yellow teeth, red eyes, or even unsightly wires in the background. Having flaws like these can make a photo look less appealing, especially if the flaws take the focus away from the main subject of the image. You can also request your Tasker to enhance any element that needs better showcasing, such as fine print in product photos, through photo retouching.

Color correction

Old photos tend to look either yellow or brown. This is because of sun exposure an acid found in framing or storage materials. To freshen up a copy, hire a retoucher to color-correct your image. This process can breathe new life into dull or monotonous images to enhance their overall appearance. Colour correction is performed by adjusting the brightness, saturation, and white balance of an image, among other elements. A Tasker may also apply filters as necessary.

Photo restoration

Old photos can also be subject to fraying, fading, or color loss, but experts are highly skilled at restoring damaged physical copies through digital editing. This process typically begins with scanning the old photo or available negatives for accurate reproductions. A photo restoration expert can fix damaged spots and color in missing pixels for a seamless blend with the surrounding elements. They may also correct the color of the image to enhance its brightness and get as close to the original as possible. Although experts can handle major extensive restoration tasks, severely damaged images (such as those burned or completely torn up) may be impossible to fix. Discuss this with your Tasker to confirm if they can accommodate your request.

Photo manipulation

If your project requires huge changes to the image, this service might just be for you. Photo manipulation is the process of modifying or adding elements to your photos using techniques like compositing, morphing, and blending. With this service, you can insert or remove a person from a group photo, or even add whimsical elements to stylize plain images. Photo manipulation can be useful for various purposes such as advertisements, magazines, book covers, and other visual content.
