Basic Edit vs Editorial Edit
Thought I would create a blog post outlining the differences between a Basic Edit and an Editorial Edit
A Basic Edit includes the following:
light blemish removal
lightening under the eyes
light skin softening using Portraiture
this skin smoothing basically blurs the pixels to create smooth skin
retoucher spends about 1-2 mins per image
An Editorial Edit includes the following:
blemish/acne removal
lightening under the eyes using dodging/burning
no pixel blurring
skin smoothing using separation frequency instead of Portraiture
no pixel blurring
fly away hairs
dodging/burning to create most beautiful image possible
shadows in shirts
odd shadow on face
etc
liquify if needed
shape face/waist/bulky clothing
retoucher spends 30-60 mins per image
Which do I suggest?
I suggest to pay the extra for an Editorial Edit for any image that will be used to market yourself in a professional way.
What is the difference in cost?
An Editorial Edit costs $20 per image while the Basic Edit is $3 per image. If you have more then light blemishes, there is an additional Acne Edit fee of $2 per image on the Basic Edit.
