Our process

Glass, liquid and light.

A bottle is a lens. It bends the background, catches every light in the room and shows the tripod straight back at the camera. Almost all of the work is reflection management.

1 · Reflection control

Softboxes, tripods and studio detail are removed from the glass, while the long vertical highlight that gives a bottle its shape is kept and cleaned up.

2 · Liquid colour

Wine, spirits, juice and oil each have a signature colour that cameras shift. We match to the real product so a customer is not surprised when the bottle arrives.

3 · Label & foil

Wrapped labels are corrected so type reads straight around the curve, and foil, embossing and metallic print keep their shine without blowing out to flat white.

4 · Symmetry & QC

Bottles are straightened and the silhouette made symmetrical, then a second retoucher checks the run for matching fill level, colour and shadow.

Coverage

Every bottle, can and pour.

Packshots for listings, hero images for campaigns and pour shots for social — matched across a full range.

Drinks brands normally combine this with colour correction, background removal and shadow creation, delivered ready for Amazon or Shopify. Transparent glass is cut with image masking rather than a hard path, and styled table scenes go through food photography retouching.

FAQ

Beverage & Bottle Retouching — questions

Can you control reflections on glass bottles?

Yes — glass reflection and glare control is a core beverage-retouching skill, kept natural and premium.

Do you sharpen and clean labels?

We keep labels crisp and legible, including legal and branding text.

Can you add or clean condensation droplets?

Yes — we can tidy or enhance droplets for a fresh, chilled look.

How much does it cost?

Custom volume and retainer pricing, scoped by complexity. Free test edit available.

Can you remove studio reflections from glass?

Yes. Softboxes, tripods and room detail are removed, while the vertical highlight that defines the bottle shape is kept. Stripping every reflection makes glass look like flat plastic.

Can you add or clean condensation and droplets?

Yes. Droplets can be cleaned, rebuilt or added to suggest a chilled product, matched to the light direction already in your shot so it does not look pasted on.

Can you fix a label that is skewed or wrinkled?

Yes. Wrapped labels are corrected so type reads straight around the curve, and creases or bubbles from application are smoothed while foil and embossing keep their shine.

How long does bottle retouching take?

Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours. Full ranges are scheduled in batches at an agreed daily volume, with rush delivery for launch dates.
