Professional Photo Editing & Retouching
For photographers, families, and the photos that are almost perfect.
Photo Edits That Save the Shot
Sometimes you have an almost-perfect photo.
Mom caught everyone smiling... except one kid. There’s a stranger in the background. Your favorite dress is wrinkled in exactly the wrong place. The lighting is off.
Or maybe you’re a photographer staring at a gallery thinking, I absolutely do not have time to edit all of this.
That’s where I come in.
I offer everything from quick, one-photo fixes for families to detailed retouching and full-gallery editing for professional photographers.
Head swaps, object removal, color correction, skin retouching, clothing fixes, background cleanup, gallery editing... and plenty of “can you possibly fix this?” requests.
Send it my way. There’s a pretty good chance I can.
Sometimes an image needs a little more than one fix.
Can you spot everything I changed?
Did you find them all?
- Straightened image + expanded sky
- Head swap
- Extended toddler's dress
- Fixed see-through fabric
- Edited missing shoe and sneakers
- Smoothed clothing wrinkles
- Color + light correction
Editing for Everyday Photos
You don't need to be a professional photographer to have something worth saving.
Maybe you took a great picture of your kids, but nobody managed to smile in the same frame. Maybe there's something distracting in the background of your favorite vacation photo. The good news is, I can probably fix it.
Cell phone photos are absolutely welcome.
Professional Editing for Photographers
Sometimes the thing standing between you and a delivered gallery isn't another photoshoot.
It's your editing queue.
I offer editing and retouching support for professional photographers who want to outsource anything from one difficult image to an entire gallery.
Whether you need basic color and exposure adjustments across a session, consistent editing based on your established style, detailed Photoshop work on select images, or help tackling a gallery that's eating up hours of your week, we can build the service around what you need.
For full galleries, you'll provide reference images or examples of your finished work so I can edit as closely as possible to your established style, not mine (unless you give me creative freedom to use my own style).
Services may include:
- Full-gallery color and exposure editing
- White balance and consistency adjustments
- Cropping and straightening
- Skin and blemish retouching
- Object and distraction removal
- Head swaps and composite work
- Clothing and hair fixes
- Detailed Photoshop retouching
- Batch editing
- Individual problem images
You photographed it. Your client can still receive a gallery that looks like you created it from beginning to end.
A Little Photoshop Magic
How It Works
1. Send me your image(s).
Email LightReclaimed@gmail.com with the subject line “Photo Editing” and attach the highest-resolution version of the image you have. Tell me what you'd like changed, and don't worry if you aren't sure what's possible. (Photographers: for full gallery requests, send a few sample images with total photo count, and requested edits)
2. I'll review it.
I'll let you know what I can do, ask for any additional reference images I may need, and send you a quote before beginning.
3. Approve your quote.
As soon as you're ready to move forward, I'll get to work.
4. Receive your finished image.
Your completed, high-resolution edit will be delivered digitally. Individual edits are typically completed within 1–2 business days of quote approval; full gallery turnaround times will be provided with your quote.
Pricing & Turnaround
Because every edit is different, pricing is based on the complexity of the work.
Individual edits typically begin at $5, with a custom quote provided before I begin any work.
More detailed composites, extensive retouching, restoration, or complex edits will be quoted individually.
Photographer gallery editing is priced separately based on the number of images, type of editing needed, and level of retouching requested. Bulk and recurring photographer rates are available.
Typical turnaround for individual edits is 1–2 business days. Larger projects and full galleries will receive an estimated turnaround time with your quote.
