AI-Generated Packshot Retouching

Job ID: 40302226

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Project Title:
Product Image Retouching for AI-Generated Packshots (Long-Term Collaboration)

Project Description

I am looking for a highly skilled retoucher to help refine AI-generated product images so they reach a fully realistic, production-ready quality.

The images are product packshots (protein puddings) generated with AI. The compositions generally work well, but several technical details need to be corrected and standardized so the final images match the real product packaging exactly.

This will be an ongoing collaboration, as we continuously produce new images throughout the year.

Scope of Work

Your main responsibilities will include:

1. Packaging Corrections

Replace the AI-generated labels with the original label artwork so all text, typography, and product information is perfectly accurate.

Ensure the packaging matches the real 3D product model in:

color

proportions

label placement

typography

Fix distortions that commonly appear in AI-generated packaging.

2. Background Cleanup

Remove grain, noise, and AI artifacts.

Clean and smooth the background so it looks like a professional studio shot.

3. Barcode Removal

Remove any unintended barcodes or artifacts that sometimes appear on the packaging.

4. Background Color Consistency

Color match backgrounds so identical backgrounds always match the exact hex value.

Example: all brown backgrounds must be the exact same shade across all images.

Workflow Expectations

This project requires someone who is structured, efficient, and proactive.

I am not only looking for someone to manually retouch images one by one. Ideally you should also help optimize the workflow.

For example:

Either fully retouch each image individually

Or develop a more efficient system, such as cutting out the product and placing it into a clean, standardized background template.

The goal is to achieve consistent, high-quality results while keeping the workflow efficient.

Test Requirement

Before moving forward, I will require a small test.

I will provide:

A folder with a video where I explain exactly what needs to be done

A first batch of images to work on

All necessary assets, including:

product label prints

3D models

reference materials for the packaging

This test is important so I can evaluate:

attention to detail

realism of the retouching

workflow efficiency

Ideal Candidate

You should have:

Strong Photoshop compositing and retouching skills

Experience with product photography / packaging retouching

A strong eye for color accuracy and detail

The ability to build structured workflows

A proactive mindset — someone who suggests improvements, not just executes instructions.

Long-Term Opportunity

This is not a one-off project. If the collaboration works well, there will be continuous work throughout the year as we produce many new images.

Consistency and reliability are extremely important.

If possible, please include:

Examples of product retouching work

Your typical workflow

Your estimated time per image

I am looking for someone who can become a long-term retouching partner, not just a freelancer for a single task.
