I guess you can outsource just about everything. My buddy Kris Krug posted a request for comments on a retouched version of one of his pictures. The interesting thing is that the retouching was done by a gentleman in India who tracked Kris down using Flickr. The world just got a little flatter. For the record, I like the original better. Kris’ work has a particular look, and I think that the retouching fundamentally changed that.
The folks that did the retouching are at PixArt.
Update: Now the locals are into the game
crazy huh ted?
i’ve gotten hit up by several folks like this lately.
thx for writing about it.
Good photo retouchers are hard to find. A lot of times I see people asking for some help on retouching. It’s usually flooded with people using cheesy techniques. Mostly just simple filters. It goes to the point where nice pictures where a simple saturation/contrast would do great deal,but instead some weird colors are added with some strange lines and all the other bunch of weirdness. I am not saying I am the best retoucher,but I do everything,on my own photographs and never had anyone complain ( i am a photographer…)
At the end,I think its’ possible to do most of the retouching yourself. It’s not that hard.
