Product and Commercial
Product Photo Retouching
Dust and scratches out, colour corrected to the real product, fabric worked without losing the weave, shadows and reflections rebuilt. One standard across the whole range, from 50 cents an image.
Why It Pays
The Photo Is the Product
Online, nobody handles the thing before they buy it. The photograph is doing every job the shop floor used to do — showing the finish, the weight of the fabric, the exact shade. Anything the image gets wrong comes back as a return, and returns cost more than the shoot did.
Colour is the expensive one. Studio lighting shifts a navy toward black and a charcoal toward brown, and a customer who ordered one and received the other sends it back and does not order again. Correcting to the real product, against a reference, is unglamorous work that shows up directly in the return rate.
The rest is craft with a rule attached: keep the texture. Dust and scratches come out, packaging creases press flat, but the weave of the fabric and the grain of the leather stay. Smooth a garment past that point and it reads as a rendering, which costs you the trust the photograph was supposed to build.

What Is Included
Clean, Accurate, Still Real
Dust and Scratch Removal
Every speck the studio air put on a dark surface, plus fingerprints, hairs and the fine scratches a sample picks up between the warehouse and the table.
Colour Accuracy
The product corrected to the colour it actually is, not the colour the lights made it. This is the edit that decides your return rate on anything sold by shade.
Fabric and Wrinkle Work
Creases from the packaging pressed out, drape kept, and the weave left intact — a garment smoothed until the texture goes is a garment that looks printed on.
Ghost Mannequin
The mannequin removed and the inside neck, cuffs and hem composited back in from a separate shot, so the garment holds its own shape on the page.
Shadows and Reflections
Natural drop shadows and surface reflections built where a cut-out left none, so the product sits on the page instead of floating above it.
Backgrounds and Paths
Background adjusted, cleaned or replaced, with clipping path options included so the same file works on your storefront and in the print catalogue.

Your background, shadow style, and any colour reference — a Pantone, a physical swatch photo, or images from last season to match against.
We retouch the range
Dust and scratches out, colour corrected to reference, fabric worked, shadows rebuilt and backgrounds finished, to one standard across the batch.
Review and revise
Back in 24 to 48 hours. Check the colour against the physical product in daylight — that is the test that matters. Revisions are included until it matches.
Common Questions
Product retouching questions
How much does product photo retouching cost per image?
Product and commercial retouching starts at $0.50 per image. Straightforward catalogue work sits at that rate; ghost mannequin composites and heavy reflective surfaces cost more because they take more time. There is no minimum order.
How is this different from your Amazon product editing service?
This page is the retouching craft — dust, colour, fabric, shadows — for any storefront, catalogue or brand site. The Amazon page is about that one marketplace and its specific listing requirements. Most Amazon sellers need both; sellers who are not on Amazon need this one.
Can you match the colour to the real product?
Yes, and it is the edit worth paying most attention to. Send a Pantone reference, a photo of a physical swatch, or the approved images from last season and we will correct against it rather than guessing from the file.
Do you do ghost mannequin?
Yes. The mannequin is removed and the inside neck, cuffs and hem composited back in so the garment holds its shape. Shoot the extra inside-neck frame if you can — the result is noticeably better when we have it.
Will you smooth fabric until it looks fake?
No. Packaging creases come out and the drape stays, but the weave is preserved. A garment smoothed past its texture reads as a rendering, which costs more trust than a crease ever did.
Can you add shadows to a cut-out product?
Yes. Natural drop shadows and surface reflections are built where the cut-out removed them, so the product sits on the page rather than floating. Tell us the shadow style your storefront uses and we will match it across the range.
Do you include a clipping path?
Clipping path options are included in product retouching, so the same file works on the storefront and in the print catalogue. If you only need paths and no retouching, that is priced separately from $0.50.
Can you keep a whole range consistent?
Yes, and it is easier when the range comes in one batch. Sent together, the same background, shadow and colour treatment is applied across it, so a category grid does not look like it came from several suppliers.
Can I see it on my own product first?
Yes. Send your most difficult product — something dark, glossy or hard to colour-match — and we will retouch it free, with no card required.
