Natural Portrait Color Editing
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a careful retouch on a series of portrait shots. My goal is to keep everything looking as if it came straight out of the camera—only better. Please correct the skin so it reads evenly while retaining natural pores and texture; no over-smooth “beauty filter” effect. Color grading should blend tones smoothly across the entire frame so subject and background feel cohesive, and the overall light balanced—nothing blown out, nothing crushed.
You’re welcome to work in Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, or a mix of other tools, as long as you return 16-bit TIFFs together with layered PSD files so I can fine-tune later if needed. I’ll share the raw files via google drive and would like to review a single test image first to confirm direction before you complete the rest.
Acceptance criteria:
• Even, lifelike skin tone without plastic smoothing
• Harmonious color blend and neutral whites
• Subtle lighting balance that preserves highlight and shadow detail
• Final delivery: full-resolution TIFF + layered PSD for each image, plus web-ready JPEG previews
Turnaround is ideally 24–48 hours after I provide the files. Let me know if you have any questions about the look or workflow.
