REtouching

Retouching is the process of enhancing or correcting images to achieve a polished and professional appearance. This technique often involves the removal of imperfections, such as blemishes, wrinkles, or distractions in photographs, and can also include adjustments to lighting, color balance, and contrast to improve the overall visual quality. Retouching can be applied to various types of images, including portraits, product photography, and fashion images, and typically utilizes software like Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. The goal of retouching is to maintain a natural look while enhancing the image's aesthetic appeal, ensuring that the final result meets the desired standards for commercial use or personal satisfaction.
