Every piece moves through the same controlled workflow, so a forty-image ring set looks like it was shot and finished in a single sitting.
Dust, fibres, fingerprints, glue residue and prong scratches are removed at 100% zoom. On polished gold and silver this is the step that separates catalogue-ready from shot-at-home.
Metal is evened out and reshaped where the lighting failed, so bands keep their form instead of going flat. Diamonds and coloured stones gain controlled clarity and sparkle without losing facet detail or shifting hue.
Studio reflections, tripod shadows and colour casts thrown by nearby props are tamed or removed, so the piece reads as jewellery rather than a mirror of your set.
A second retoucher reviews the full set for consistent colour, background, crop and shadow before delivery. This is why clients send whole seasons without re-briefing us.
Jewellery sits at the higher end of retouching rates because the work is macro, manual and unforgiving. These are our working ranges — the exact quote depends on complexity, volume and turnaround.
| What you need | Rate per image |
|---|---|
| Clipping path or background removal only Cut-out on white, no retouching | $0.50 – $2 |
| Standard jewellery retouching Dust and scratch cleanup, metal evening, basic reflection control | $2 – $5 |
| Complex & high-end jewellery Macro stone work, multi-stone sets, heavy reflection rebuild, campaign finish | $5 – $8 |
| High-end beauty & editorial On-model campaign imagery, print and large format | $10 – $30 |
Volume changes the number. E-commerce post-production starts at $1 per image and scales down as monthly volume rises. Studios and agencies on a monthly retainer get the lowest rates — see white-label retouching.
