What is stock photo retouching?
Stock retouching is conservative by design. We remove dust, trademarks, and distractions without the plastic look that gets a file rejected.
Why it matters
Agencies want photographs, not illustrations. Over-retouching is a rejection; under-retouching is a wasted upload.
How we break it down
- Dust & sensor. The unglamorous pass every file needs.
- Trademark safe. Logos and identifiable brands removed or replaced.
- Model polish. Light beauty that keeps pores and character.
