How to Use Image Retouching?

Picture retouching is a post-processing technique used to enhance and improve photographs by making subtle adjustments and corrections. But it’s also an art form, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach! Experiment with different techniques and settings to find the style that best suits your vision for the photo.

Additionally, always strive for a natural and balanced result, avoiding excessive retouching that may lead to unrealistic or overly edited-looking images.
