Hand Removal & Photo Retouching

Job ID: 40250336

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

One of my favorite photos is almost perfect—except for the hand that crosses in front of my face. I need that hand convincingly moved out of the way and the entire image retouched so the final result still feels believable but not overly processed.

Here’s what I’m after:
• Precise hand removal or repositioning that restores my full face without visible cloning marks or distortions.
• Subtle color correction that balances tones and makes the shot pop while keeping skin tones true.
• Targeted blemish removal to tidy up minor imperfections without turning my skin into plastic.

The overall look should be moderately natural: polished enough for social media and print, yet realistic to anyone who knows me.

You may use any combination of Photoshop’ advanced tools—content-aware fill, frequency separation, selective color grading—so long as edges remain sharp and lighting consistent. Please deliver a high-resolution JPEG (ready for sharing) plus a layered PSD so I can revisit adjustments later if needed.

If you have a quick turnaround and an eye for detail, I’d love to see a brief note on how you’d approach reconstructing the obscured facial area and maintaining natural skin texture before we get started.
