I have a set of portrait images that need careful retouching—specifically skin smoothing that looks very natural and nearly invisible to the casual viewer. No heavy “plastic skin” effects, just a gentle clean-up that preserves real texture while softening minor roughness. You’ll work on high-resolution files and return layered PSDs plus flattened JPEGs at the original size and color profile so I can drop them straight into my layout pipeline. I normally review edits at 100 % zoom, so please keep pores, fine hair, and tonal nuance intact. Preferred tools are Adobe Photoshop or equivalent professional software; frequency separation and dodge-and-burn methods usually give me the best results, but use the workflow you’re most comfortable with as long as the finish is subtle. Turnaround within three days would be ideal, though let me know if you need a bit more time. Acceptance criteria: • Skin texture remains visible; no blurring halos. • Overall color, contrast, and crop stay unchanged. • Final files match the supplied resolution and format; no compression artifacts. If that aligns with your skill set, I’ll share the download link to the RAW images right away.

Hello! Your requirements are very clear, and I understand that the goal is natural skin refinement, not heavy retouching or an artificial “plastic skin” effect. I can carefully smooth minor skin irregularities while preserving pores, fine facial hair, natural tonal variations, and the original character of each portrait. I will also keep the existing color, contrast, crop, resolution, and color profile unchanged. I can work with a non-destructive workflow and deliver both the layered PSD files and flattened JPEGs according to your specifications. Each image will be checked carefully at 100% zoom to avoid halos, texture loss, or visible retouching artifacts. I can complete the project within your preferred 3-day timeframe and I’m available to begin as soon as you provide the RAW files. I’d be happy to retouch one image first so you can confirm the level of skin refinement before I apply the same standard consistently across the full set. Best regards, Uesley Brito

Hi, I’d be happy to retouch your portrait images with a subtle, natural finish while preserving the original skin texture and character. My approach will focus on carefully cleaning minor roughness and uneven tones without making the skin look overly smooth or artificial. I’ll use techniques such as frequency separation, dodge & burn, and manual cleanup where appropriate to maintain pores, fine facial hair, and natural tonal details. I will ensure: Natural skin texture remains visible at 100% zoom No plastic-looking skin or blurring halos Original colour, contrast, crop, and composition remain unchanged Layered PSDs and flattened JPEGs are provided Files are delivered at the original resolution and colour profile No unnecessary compression or quality loss I’m setting the delivery timeline at 5 days, allowing enough time for careful, detailed retouching. However, I’ll aim to complete and deliver the work before the 5-day deadline whenever possible, without compromising the quality of the retouching. I’m available to start immediately once the RAW files are shared. Best regards, Saurabh

Hi, I’d be interested in working on these portraits. I’m relatively new to freelancing, but I’m comfortable with detailed photo editing and understand that good skin retouching is often about knowing what *not* to change. I am open to do the samples for free in the beginning. I’d aim for a clean, natural result where the skin still looks like real skin—keeping pores, fine hair, and natural tonal variation while only cleaning up the distractions that need attention. I’m comfortable working carefully at 100% zoom and making adjustments without affecting the original look of the portrait. I can work in Photoshop and provide the layered PSD along with the final JPEGs at the supplied resolution and profile. I’ll also make sure the retouching doesn’t alter the overall crop, colour, or contrast unnecessarily. The three-day turnaround works for me. If you send over one of the RAW files, I’d be happy to work on it and let the result speak for itself. Thanks!

Hello, I understand exactly what you're after — natural, nearly invisible skin smoothing that respects real texture rather than the "plastic skin" over-retouched look. I'd approach this with frequency separation and light dodge-and-burn work, keeping pores, fine hair, and tonal nuance intact at 100% zoom, as you described. I'll deliver layered PSDs alongside flattened JPEGs, matched to your original size and color profile so they drop straight into your layout pipeline. Happy to start with one image as a test if you'd like to see my approach before committing to the full set — that way you can judge the result firsthand at 100% zoom before we proceed further. Looking forward to your thoughts on timeline and image count. Best, Dragos

Hi, I'm Pablo, a freelance photo retoucher based in Spain working in Photoshop with frequency separation and dodge-and-burn. Subtle is exactly the standard I hold myself to - I keep pores, fine hair, and tonal nuance intact rather than smoothing them away, and I check my own work at 100% zoom before delivery, same as you do. I'll return layered PSDs plus flattened JPEGs at your original resolution and color profile, with crop, contrast, and overall color left untouched. Turnaround within 3 days works fine on my end. Happy to do a single test portrait first if you want to confirm the retouching level before I go through the full set. Available now - send the RAW download link whenever you're ready.
