Hi there
Any canadian retouchers in the place?
Theres only 4 that I know who are working in my town (montreal) and I dont know of a single retouching boutique in the whole country.. Are we all freelancers??

I am a freelancer located in Winnipeg. I haven't met any other retouchers in Wpg and I think that most photogs do their own retouching.
Most of my work comes from the States.

Hi, from Ottawa.
I don't do photo retouching as a profession - this remains a sideline/hobby of mine. I used to advertise photo services on my web site but that did not really take off.*shrugs
It seems to me that many shops now do it themselves and even film developers have you-operate machines that can correct basic problems.
