Subtle Actor Headshot Retouching
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have an actors headshot that just needs a believable finishing touch—nothing plastic or overly “Photoshopped.” The priority is gentle skin and hair smoothing while preserving natural texture, freckles, and expression lines. Any stray fly-aways and minor blemishes can go, but pores must still look like pores.
The overall brief is a natural, subtle style: think cleaned-up casting-ready shots rather than glossy magazine covers. Colour, contrast, and tone should remain true to life, so please avoid heavy filters or dramatic grading.
I’ll provide the high-resolution RAW or uncompressed JPEG files. In return, I’d like:
• A layered PSD (so adjustments can be tweaked later)
• A web-ready JPG and a full-resolution print-ready JPG
Please work in Photoshop (frequency separation, dodge & burn, or your preferred technique) as long as the final result meets the “looks untouched, just at their best” test. Let me see one proof first to confirm the balance before you complete the set.
