I have a collection of portraits that need a polished, magazine-ready finish. Your main focus will be natural-looking skin smoothing and blemish removal, followed by extracting each subject from a detailed background without leaving visible halos or cut-out edges. Once the background is clean, colour and sharpness should be refined so the final images look crisp, balanced and ready for use everywhere—from my personal archive to social media posts and even future commercial placements. I normally work in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, so layered PSD files plus high-resolution JPEG and PNG exports (transparent background where relevant) will form the final hand-off. Please keep facial features realistic, preserve original tones, and ensure there is no loss of image quality after processing.
