Photo Retouching

Many ecommerce images are polished far beyond what you’d expect.
Can you tell what’s been altered in this photo?

Behind the Magic

Look closely and you'll see some subtle editing at play. The desk chair on the left and the sofa on the right were recolored to product options that better fit the room. The sofa involved a direct color change, while the chair required more care. Since a well lit photo in the right color wasn't available, elements from a similar version were combined and the seat color was refined to match.

Product Swaps

Product replacement is a common request. Maybe the wrong piece was captured during the shoot and it’s more efficient to adjust it digitally. Sometimes a product in a group photo goes out of stock and needs to be replaced. Other times, the team rethinks the look after the shoot and decides a different item suits the scene better.

Color Change

Color adjustments can shift a product option while preserving the original lighting, texture, and material detail.

Micro Adjustments

Some adjustments are designed to go unnoticed. Small edits can change the presentation of a product by refining positioning, correcting details, or altering elements that weren’t captured as intended during the shoot. Whether it’s adjusting the appearance of a fixture, reshaping fabric, or modifying the angle of a product, these subtle changes help ensure the final image reflects the intended design.

Invisible by Design

Much of this work lives in the details viewers never consciously notice. From product replacements to subtle refinements in shape, positioning, and presentation, each adjustment helps create visuals that feel natural and intentional. The goal isn’t to draw attention to the work itself, but to ensure the final image communicates exactly what it needs to.
