Retouching

In most cases, retouching should be almost undetectable.  It should not draw attention to itself but instead simply make you look your best.   Each image requires it’s own unique set of adjustments; literally hundreds of small incremental adjustments to gradually create the desired effect.   Most images will require about 20-30 minutes worth of time while others might take a few hours.
