Improving design communication.
With an in-house team, our retouchers engage in direct communication with both photographers and clients. Prior to and during photoshoots, they hear the client's vision firsthand, collaborate with the photographer on necessary edits, and often begin working on initial proofs and mock-ups while clients are still on set.
OMS employs a user-friendly proofing program, ensuring clients can effortlessly request changes. We go through multiple rounds of revisions until everyone is fully satisfied.

A visionary team effort.
We are lucky to have a team of retouchers who have been working in the photography industry for over a decade — some have been using Photoshop since its infancy. Our collaborative team leverages each member's unique skills to achieve the best possible outcome for every project.
Rather than imposing artificial illusions, we prioritize working closely with photographers to capture natural elements and lighting — achieving a natural and authentic end result.
Production-ready from shot to delivery.
Behind the artistry is a fully color-managed setup built for speed, accuracy, and reliability. Our artists work on Mac Studio workstations with Apple 27" Studio Displays, supported by BenQ PhotoVue SW272Q HDR palette monitors. We retouch using Adobe Creative Suite and Capture One with Wacom Intuos Pro tablets.
For confident color decisions, we maintain a calibrated viewing environment using a GTI PDV-3e/SW Professional Desktop Viewer and Calibrite Display Plus HL colorimeter. Custom JavaScript automation standardizes retouching actions and output settings for dependable repeatability. Projects are tracked in a custom Quickbase database from pre-production through delivery, with Ziflow for web-based proofing and approvals.

Retouching FAQs.
AI-generated images for commercial use.
What you can and can't do.
Commercial use depends on (a) the tool's license and (b) IP/people/trademark laws. Even if a platform says you "own" the output, you can still run into issues if the image infringes someone else's rights or uses a real person's likeness without permission.
Generally OK (with the right tool license)
- Concept art, mood boards, backgrounds, abstract textures
- AI-assisted edits on client-owned photography (object removal, sky replacement, canvas extension)
- Marketing visuals that avoid recognizable IP/logos/people and pass internal clearance
Usually not OK without explicit permission
- Recognizable characters, brands, logos, and trade dress
- Celebrity or identifiable-person imagery without a release
- Anything meant to be exclusive (e.g., a "unique" mascot/logo) without significant human rework
- Using a generator in a way that violates its plan/terms
