From Capture to Final Image

Photo Retouching

Here’s where the magic happens. Skin is refined, color is balanced, distractions disappear, and the strongest parts of the photograph come forward. Some images need a light touch. Others need a full transformation. The result should feel polished, intentional, and completely believable.

CSCC Student – Basketball Player

This basketball player's portrait was prepared for an online student-athlete profile. The image was colour-corrected and facial blemishes and scars were reduced while keeping the portrait natural.

What Was Done

  • The shadows were lightened in Adobe Photoshop, so as to reveal the hidden detail.
  • To create natural, healthy-looking skin tones, various colour samples were made of the subject's skin. The Airbrush tool was used to smooth uneven skin tone.
  • The Healing Brush was then used to remove skin blemishes.
  • The brightness, contrast, and exposure levels were adjusted to reintroduce some of the natural light fall against the skin.
  • The photo was then converted to black and white.
