Photo Editing Process

Raw photos are exactly that—RAW. They require “cooking” or editing, which typically involves a two-stage process.

The first stage, known as standard editing, is included in all our photo packages. This involves applying a customized colour filter (preset) to the raw format, adjusting the image’s colour and exposure. For example, highlights (overly bright areas) are toned down, and shadows (mid-tones) are lifted to reveal more background detail.

Once the initial preset is applied, we perform limited professional image editing (where technically possible) on the final set of images uploaded to your gallery. These adjustments may include refining exposure, cropping, and rotating individual photos for optimal composition.

Additionally, we may apply light stray hair removal to a few select photos, remove a distracting background object in one or two key images (especially if you plan to print them as enlargements), and are happy to consider light facial blemish removal on up to 5–7 images if needed.

In summary, standard editing enhances every photo with a preset and fine-tuning, while additional touch-ups, like detailed retouching, are available upon request for an extra fee.
