Memorial Photo Retouch & Background
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
The source image is a digital JPEG. I need it carefully retouched so it can be engraved on a gravestone and also printed for the family.
Here’s the work, step by step:
• Clean up the stray hairs without losing natural texture.
• Completely remove the child in the foreground/background.
• Extend and rebuild the hair on her left side so it blends seamlessly with the rest of her hairstyle—this must look highly realistic when viewed up close.
• Replace the current backdrop with an overlapping watercolor wash that mixes lighter and darker purples; think subtle gradients rather than a flat tone.
When you’re finished, please supply:
1. A high-resolution, print-ready file (CMYK 300 dpi, TIFF or PNG).
2. A separate layered PSD in case minor tweaks are needed later.
The final image should stand up to both large-format printing and laser etching, so crisp edges and natural skin tones are essential.
