Day-to-day operating brief
What Retoucher (Photoshop) work looks like in practice
A Photo Retoucher prepares still images for campaign, editorial, ecommerce and print use through colour correction, cleanup, compositing and format delivery. The work may involve unreleased products, models and high-value source files. Terms should distinguish routine correction from material alteration, define instructions for body or product representation, require rights-aware asset use, protect layered files and metadata, and establish colour, naming, review, security and archive standards.
Responsibilities reflected in the contract
Interpret retouching briefs and reference standards.
Perform authorised correction compositing and cleanup.
Maintain colour profiles dimensions and file integrity.
Manage versions feedback and secure source assets.
Deliver approved formats and archive working files.
A realistic working scenario
