Photography Editing & Retouching
1133 Studios offers 2 levels of photo editing to fit your needs: Light Editing and Heavy Retouching.
Light editing is included in every package that we offer while heavy retouching is an add-on charged on a per-image basis.
Light Editing includes corrections to exposure, white balance, composition (cropping/straightening), and contrast. In addition to these adjustments, a subtle filter is applied to photos that will smoothen skin by reducing texture, gently brighten eyes, and whiten/brighten teeth.
Heavy Retouching includes acne and blemish removal, wrinkle reduction, scar removal, eye bag and dark circles removal, flyaway hair removal, clothes wrinkle reduction. These edits are made carefully to maintain a natural look.
At 1133 Studios, there are certain edits we do not perform as part of our retouching services. We do not reshape or alter body proportions or facial features, as this can create unrealistic expectations and ethical concerns. Heavy background manipulation, including sky replacements, or adding new elements, is also not included, as these fall under compositing or VFX work. We do not apply digital makeup or drastically change hair color, generate new elements or people using AI, or make edits that misrepresent the subject, such as making someone appear younger, thinner, or otherwise “perfected” beyond reality. Additionally, extreme artistic effects such as illustrations, cartoons, or surreal composites are also not done. These limitations ensure that our retouching remains professional, natural, and true to the subject.
