Hey guys,

I often have clients asking me to retouch images taken by their photographer and after finding I always performed the same kind of tasks I decided to record a set of actions to speed up my workflow. Fast forward two years I now have an extension in the Marketplace: Retouch X 4.0 - Retouching Extension for Photoshop

Here are a few examples of how I have used it:

It’s a solution that works for me so I decided to share it.
Thanks,
Phil

I think Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom is the best tool for photographers to retouch photos. Also, there are many retouching programs available on the web. Among them, GIMP is the best free photo retouching tool for beginner photographer.
However, you can outsource image retouching service from an advanced photo retoucher without doing any work.
