Photographic Retouching Service

Photographic Retouching

In the days before the computer became available to all, the retouching of photographs was a very “hands-on” activity. The retouching technician had to be skilled in the art of air brushing, as well having the ability of an artist. It would take hours, often days, of painstaking work and as you can imagine, such a labour-intensive occupation was quite expensive. Today, with the advent of powerful computers and of scanners that can digitise images, things are a lot different and retouching has become something that most can afford.

What is Photo Retouching?

As you can see from the images above (the before and after), retouching can make an incredible difference to a picture. Items can be removed or added  but sometimes what really make all the difference is changing the colour balance and the boosting of the intensity of an image (or just parts of it).

As with all of our products, it is the consultation process that forms the basis of our unique service.

You can rest assured that the real benefit of using Learn to Dream for your photographic retouching lies in our expertise consulting with you about your picture and also in the knowledge and care we take throughout the printing process.

At Learn to Dream we actually use a different term for much of this retouching work, preferring to use the name "Art Effects". In fact, we have a vast range of effects that we can deploy to improve and enhance a photograph, or to make it "say" what you want it to, much more effectively.

We pride ourselves on our unfailing commitment to customer satisfaction, ensuring an end result that we know you will love.

As for the perfect photographic medium for your retouched photograph, working together we'll choose from canvas , acrylic, textured art paper or even our unique multiple layer process, thus ensuring that your image is portrayed to its very best.
