Magazine retouching

This is high-quality image processing used in professional shoots for publications in glossy and electronic magazines. The goal of such retouching is to create a flawless yet natural look for the model, highlighting facial features and skin textures, making the photograph appealing for print or digital format. The main stages of magazine retouching:

- Skin cleaning: removing imperfections such as blemishes, wrinkles, pimples, while preserving skin texture.
- Frequency separation: a technique that allows working separately with skin structure and color, maintaining naturalness.
- Dodge & Burn: correcting light and shadow to emphasize the volume and relief of the face.
- Color correction: adjusting colors to enhance naturalness and harmony with the overall style.
- Eye work: enhancing brightness, clarity, and hue of the eyes to create a deep gaze.
- Hair correction: adding shine and volume, removing minor imperfections such as stray hairs.
- Overall image correction: creating balance between different elements of the photograph — background, light, colors, and details.
