Retouching

WHAT IS RETOUCHING?

Retouching is the process of getting an image ready for final presentation. This can take a variety of techniques and process.

Retouching in a sense has been around since the very beginning of photography. Before digital photography became the norm, retouching occurred in the dark room with over and under exposure, dodging and blurring, masking and split-toning.

The main difference these days is that anyone can enhance their photography be it using ready made filters found in apps such as instagram and hipstamatic or on their computer using programs such as Adobe Photoshop.
