Photo Retouching Services

Improving Design Communication

With an in-house team, our retouchers have the freedom to engage in direct communication with both photographers and clients. Prior to and during photoshoots, they have the opportunity to 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 present on set.

The communication doesn't end there. OMS employs a user-friendly proofing program, ensuring clients can effortlessly request changes. We are committed to going through multiple rounds of revisions until everyone involved is fully satisfied. This collaborative approach allows clients to gain insights into the ideas and processes behind their projects. By fostering transparent involvement from all parties, we strive to achieve the best possible end result.

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, and some have been using Photoshop since its infancy. Our collaborative team leverages each member's unique skills and leans on one another to achieve the best possible outcome for every project. This collaborative spirit empowers us to bring even the most extraordinary visions to life. 

Rather than imposing artificial illusions, we prioritize working closely with photographers to capture natural elements and lighting. Through this meticulous attention to detail, we achieve a natural and authentic end result that all parties are happy with. 

Above all, we value fresh perspectives. We understand the importance of continually discovering new styles and approaches to enhance our skills. We actively encourage our clients to share their ideas and challenge the team, seizing every opportunity for growth and opportunity. 

Tools & Workflow 

Behind the artistry is a fully color-managed, production-ready setup built for speed, accuracy, and reliability. Our artists work on Mac Studio workstations with the Apple 27” Studio Display as the primary image monitor, supported by BenQ PhotoVue SW272Q 27” HDR palette monitors. We retouch and finish assets using Adobe Creative Suite and Capture One, with a Wacom Intuos Pro pen tablet for precision masking, detailed cleanup, and high-volume production edits.

For confident color decisions, we maintain a calibrated viewing environment using a GTI PDV-3e/SW Professional Desktop Viewer for product evaluation and a Calibrite Display Plus HL colorimeter for consistent display calibration. To accelerate throughput and ensure dependable repeatability, we’ve built client-specific JavaScript automation that standardizes common retouching actions and output settings. We also use Renamer for efficient bulk file naming and FileZilla for secure, dependable FTP delivery.

To keep projects organized and transparent from start to finish, OMS Photo tracks products and imagery from pre-production through post-production in a custom Quickbase database, supporting accurate status reporting, version control, and scalable asset management. For review and approvals, we use Ziflow, a web-based proofing platform that streamlines collaboration, centralizes feedback, and helps teams move quickly from first round to final delivery, ensuring each image meets brand guidelines for color, consistency, and retouching quality.
