Subtle Natural Color Corrections
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have fewer than ten photos that need careful color correction. Nothing drastic or stylized—just a refined polish that enhances their natural tones and luminance. Skin, sky, foliage, and fabric hues should feel true-to-life while still gaining that professional spark.
All other edits such as retouching or background removal are already handled, so the task is limited to color work. I usually work in Adobe Lightroom and occasionally Photoshop, so delivering either .XMP sidecar files or layered PSDs is fine as long as the original resolution and file names stay intact.
Deliverables
• Finished color-corrected versions of each image
• A brief note of the main adjustments applied (for my records)
Acceptance criteria
• Accurate, even white balance across the set
• Consistent color profile matching sRGB
• No visible banding, clipping, or artificial color casts
Once the first image meets the expectations, the remaining files can follow the same look for a fast sign-off.
