  • Problem Solved: Who is a Professional Retoucher

    I’ve finally figured it out! No more head banging, multiple threads and arguments over the eternal question of what distinguishes a PROFESSIONAL RETOUCHER. The answer is merely anyone who has worked on Amber and/or Pam in the challenge section of this site is a professional. Godmother has worked at least on Amber so she is a professional. I have not, so I am not a professional. But, I could be someday!

    I know you're being cheeky
    But really a professional retoucher is someone who makes their living (or a good portion of their living) retouching.
    Its not really a problem at all

      Shift Studio: Thanks for replying to my failed attempt at humor. “Cheeky” is probably ok in the Salon area, but the joke wasn’t effective enough. Maybe if I had said “High-End Retoucher” it would have been better? Whatever, I’m dropping this from my next stand-up gig.

        Hey Stormyboy - Your joke wasn't lost
        Sure - high-end-retoucher - thats a term thats thrown around quite a bit. Hard to say exactly the criteria for that one. Your suggestion is about as valid as I've seen!

          I have an idea for how a certification process might actually work for retouchers. But the question is: would anyone care?

          "What do you do? Im a RETOUCHER. What is that??"
          by macdool
          Do you ever talk to people and that question comes up and they have no idea what a retoucher is? I get that all the time and I'm trying to find a job title that everyone will understand.

          I've tried colour corrector, photographers assistant and many more but they just don't get it. I...

          The life of a professional retoucher
          by Doug Nelson
          We've talked a lot about the restoration business, but almost nothing about the retouching business (and this is RetouchPRO, after all).

          Maybe its because all of us are like me and haven't a clue about life as a retoucher.

          Are there any retouchers out there? Are you freelance,...
