Find professional photo editing and retouching near you

Even professionally taken photos can benefit from photo editing and retouching services to boost their quality. Using software like Adobe Photoshop, editors and retouchers can remove blemishes or modify any part of the image, resulting in polished work that can be readily used for advertisements. You can expect them to help you fix any visible imperfections or enhance necessary elements in your raw image. 

Here are some photo editing services you can find on Airtasker.

Basic photo retouching

Minor details like blemishes, yellow teeth, red eyes, or even unsightly wires in the background aren’t as easy to overlook when captured on camera, especially if they take focus from the main subjects of the photo. The good news is these imperfections can be fixed quickly through photo retouching. Ask your hired Tasker to edit out or mute any distracting features. On the other hand, you can also request to have certain parts enhanced for better showcasing, such as fine print in product photos.

Colour correction

Discolouration is fairly common for old photos, with sun exposure and acid-laden storage materials giving them a yellow or brown look. Colour correcting can breathe new life into these old images to enhance their overall appearance. This process covers adjustments to brightness, saturation, and white balance, among other elements. A Tasker may also apply filters to further elevate the photo's quality.

Photo restoration

Old photos often tend to fade, fray or lose colour altogether. Luckily, experts have the know-how to restore them to optimal quality that can be reprinted. First, a photo restoration expert will scan the old photo or available negatives to reproduce the image as accurately as possible. They can repair damaged spots and fill in missing pixels, matching them with the surrounding elements for a seamless fix. They may also apply colour correction to improve the brightness, aiming for tones that closely resemble the original. While experts can handle major restoration tasks, keep in mind that severely damaged images (such as those burned or completely torn up) may be impossible to repair. Make sure to enquire if your Tasker can accommodate your exact requests.

Photo manipulation

If you require extensive changes, consider availing of photo manipulation services on Airtasker. This service enables you to modify the elements of your image, from removing people from a group photo to making plain images pop with creative enhancements. Photo manipulation uses techniques like compositing, morphing, and blending. People looking to improve designs for advertisements, book covers, magazines, or any other visual content can find this service useful.
