Who this is for

Professional Retouching Service for Ecommerce: Who We Work For

Retouching and clean-up suit particular sellers. Most people ask about product image retouching & cleanup in one of these six situations.

You are a good fit if
  • You have product photos with dust, creases or distractions
  • You need a fixed price and a written scope before work starts
  • You can share original files
  • You own the store and confirm the product is shown honestly
  • Sellers of dark or glossy products

    Dust and fingerprints show everywhere.

  • Fashion and textile brands

    Creases and threads distract from the garment.

  • Owners shooting at home

    Backgrounds and rooms intrude on photos.

  • Brands with printed packaging

    Labels and prints need clean edges.

  • Stores refreshing a catalog

    Older images have accumulated marks.

  • Founders short on time

    You would rather send files and receive clean images.

Problems solved

Why Small Flaws Cost You Trust

A speck is easy to miss when shooting and hard to ignore on a large screen. Owners describe these six problems more than any others.

  1. Dust and fingerprints show.

    Glossy and dark items reveal every mark.

  2. Threads and lint distract.

    Fabric photos carry stray fibres.

  3. Creases hide the shape.

    Wrinkled garments look unfinished.

  4. Distractions remain.

    A cable, a shadow of the photographer or a prop intrudes.

  5. Edits go too far.

    Over-retouching changes the product.

  6. Hand clean-up is slow.

    Each image takes careful, time-consuming work.

How Your Object-level Retouching Is Delivered, Start to Finish

Six clear steps. Nothing goes live without your approval, and your calculator choices set how long each one runs for the object-level retouching.

  1. 1

    Brief and asset review

    You describe what good object-level retouching looks like for your store and customers. We write the plan down.

  2. 2

    Choose how we get access

    A collaborator request is enough; working in our Partner account and then transferring it works too. We never ask for your password during the object-level retouching job.

  3. 3

    Review the files and agree what to clean

    We look at every image, list what should be cleaned and what belongs to the product and must be left, and agree one standard.

  4. 4

    Retouch by hand and check for honesty

    We clean each image by hand, smooth creases without changing shape and compare every result with the original so the product is shown truthfully.

  5. 5

    Check against your brief and your store

    Every object-level retouching item is compared with the brief, and anything that lands in your store is checked across devices. Anything that is off is corrected before you see it.

  6. 6

    Deliver and hand over

    We hand over the object-level retouching after sign-off with files and written notes. Your revisions are included and you are never locked in.

What Protects Your Store and Your Budget During Product Image Retouching & Cleanup

Six habits keep your store, your brand and your budget safe while we handle the object-level retouching.

Retouching never hides real defects

We clean the picture but never hide flaws that belong to the product or change its features, and you confirm the result represents the item honestly.

Least access needed

We ask only for the access your object-level retouching needs, through Shopify's own sharing tools where a store is involved, and remove it when we finish.

Working files are yours

Final and working files for your object-level retouching are handed over, so another person could use them later.

Checked before you look

Every object-level retouching item is checked against the brief first, so your review covers taste and wording, not faults.

No promised sales

We make object-level retouching to help shoppers decide, and we never promise revenue, rankings or reach.

Rights respected

We only use images, fonts, music and text you own or that are properly licensed in your object-level retouching, and we say which.
