Our Product Image Retouch Process

If you know when and why to choose between a soft and a hard light for different elements of a product image, you can do a good product retouching job. However, the image needs to be cleaned and made free from errors before you can apply the techniques of lights, shadows and reflections.

Preparing to process

We cut out the image from background using different editing techniques of Photoshop. The retouchers at PicsRetouch are pretty skillful at using the pen, lasso or sophisticated masking techniques to remove a background that is distracting. This step is necessary to replace an old background with something new or add a white background.

Making it error-free

The image can be too light or too dark. To make it more visually appealing, you need to adjust brightness and contrast. You need to be careful not to brighten too much and obscure details. Also, you must make sure that it is not too dark. Your objective should be to have the natural highlights that showcase the fine details. A skillful use of the Dodge and Burn tools can help even out the tones and achieve the color correction objective. Further processing involves color adjustment and color enhancement that can help improve the quality and clarity of the image almost magically.

Making it clean

Despite all your efforts, you might come up with an image that is not free from dirt and imperfections. Tiny specs of dust and hairs, fingerprints, dirty spots, reflections, smudge and blemishes are just some examples of unwanted elements that must be removed from the images. We have mastered the use of patch and clone stamp tools to remove such imperfections and unwanted elements and give your images a neat and clean look.

Finishing up

A lot of things may still need to be done depending on individual preferences and industry requirements. Adding a white background; smoothing out the edge of the product; adding lights, shadows and reflections; cropping, resizing and setting image dimensions & resolutions; and saving files in one or more particular formats are some of the product retouching jobs that give images a finished look and feel.
