Marriage is nothing less than a milestone in one’s life. The photographs of a significant event such as this must be perfect. The event is not just marked legally; weddings have sentimental value for both the newlyweds and their families alike.
Photographs do the work of preserving memories, and the marrying couple should especially look their best. While photo editing does a basic correction of light, shadows, colour temperature and contrasts, retouching goes one step further and alters the photo wherever necessary.
Professional wedding photo retouching services take care of the entire composition. The process generally includes skin retouching, jewellery retouching, colour correction, and more. To make the album even more beautiful, techniques such as clipping path, photo resizing, background removal, etc., help devise a creative presentation.
Photo Retouching Techniques
A wedding photographer’s job is tough because:
every experience must be captured
image subjects are mostly in motion
it’s hard to discern which is more significant: rituals, guests, dances, decor, food
That is why photo retouching saves the day. With the use of tools like spot healing, layer masks, airbrushing, etc., you get:
Portrait Retouching
Whether it’s the face of the bride, groom, kin, or any other visitor to the venue, retouching removes dark circles and blemishes on the skin, neatens up hairstyles, removes wrinkles on clothing, whitens teeth and corrects red eye to beautify the subject.
Background Changes
If a family portrait or spontaneous shot of a joyous moment is clicked against an undesirable background, the backdrop is either neatened up, replaced, or removed completely. The background can be given a block colour, or parts of the decor can be manipulated into it.
Adding & Removing Objects
Whether you’re clicking a well-staged moment or people walking by, sections of the image, such as overhead wires, birds that flew into the frame, unattractive buildings in the background, and unwanted objects in the foreground, are eliminated selectively.
Adjusting Shadows & Highlights
While shadows may be undesirable in the frame because they hide important details, they must be present in the right places to add depth and dimension and make the picture look natural. Photos need the perfect interplay of shadows and highlights, so the human eye is directed towards what is important.
Colour Cast Removal
Owing to the weather, lighting imbalances and equipment limitations, the entire frame may get unnatural blue, yellow or red tints. These are skilfully removed so that all colour shades, outlines and contrasts are clearly visible and the composition is aesthetically appealing.
Hire Professionals
Professional services, such as event photo retouching, are usually preferred for large-scale occasions such as weddings. Photographers specialising in the subject are either skilled themselves, or they lease the image files to a photo retouching agency they trust. The agency takes into account the client’s needs and expert notes from the professional photographer to come up with breathtaking final images.
