Professional portrait, product, beauty and fashion retouching. Professional software for color and detailed retouching. Images that look the way they should.

PHOTO POST-PRODUCTION

Retouching that keeps things natural

A good photograph starts in the camera and ends in retouching. At XNK Media we work with industry-standard professional software for color and detailed retouching, on portrait, product, beauty and fashion editorial projects.

We apply proven techniques: frequency separation for skin, dodge & burn for volume, non-destructive skin retouching, color grading matched to the brand tone, clean composites and flawless background removal.

We work with photographers, agencies and brands that need visual consistency. We deliver edited RAW, JPG master, PNG with transparency or layered PSD, whichever you prefer.

FAQ photo editing

Basic retouching (10-20 photos): 2-3 days. Portrait retouching (20-50 photos): 3-5 days. Editorial beauty (5-10 final images with selection): 5-7 days. Full weddings (400-800 photos, culling + color + selective retouching): 10-14 days.

We prefer RAW, it gives us maximum flexibility for recovering highlights, shadows and color. We work with any native RAW format from a professional camera (ARW, CR3, NEF, RAF, BRAW and so on). We accept JPG as well if you have no RAW, but there is less room for retouching.

Our philosophy: skin has to look like skin. We do not erase pores and we do not smooth faces the way it was done in 2010. We use non-destructive frequency separation, keep the texture and correct only the temporary blemishes. If you want a specific look (glossy beauty, extreme fashion editorial), we align on references.

Yes. We build dedicated LUTs / presets based on your moodboard and 3-5 reference images. Every future set is then edited in the same style, for visual consistency across your Instagram feed and your campaigns.

2 rounds are included. We send watermarked previews and you get to mark your feedback directly on the image (online review platform or a PDF with notes). Additional rounds are discussed separately, depending on volume.

Shall we turn your RAW files into publishable images?

Let's talk about your photo project. Send us 2-3 samples and we'll send back a free retouching preview and a custom quote within 24 hours.
