IMAGE RETOUCHING
Photography is a professional service that is needed in various ways by different people to meet their needs. But however careful the photographer may be, the shots can never be perfect.

Image retouching services, as we can borrow from the above explanation, are the activities carried out during photo editing process to make the images better than the original raw images.

This deals with changing the original images to look different in a way specified, with addition of special effects to the image. Photo editing and photo manipulation are not the same thing; photo editing entails making changes to an image for it to look better. On the other hand, photo manipulation is the art of changing an image to suit a given need. In creative manipulation, the photo editor first needs to figure what exactly what they need to create. Then they start the process of photo manipulation to achieve the outcome.

Sometimes the original background may be not good enough or the image is to be used in a context that does not match with the original background. The background is removed by the use of editing activities like clipping path, masking and background manipulation. The new background or color has to blend in with the subject of the image well, to avoid nasty looking pictures and haloing.
