The best way to explain Advertising Production retouching is to elaborate on the various advertising photography disciplines that benefit from this are of expertise.

 

Commercial photography and retouching involves taking pictures for commercial use: for example in adverts, merchandising, and product placement. Commercial photography is also used in corporate brochures and leaflets, menus in cafés and restaurants, and similar commercial uses where photographs enhance a text. Commercial photography is used to promote or sell a product or service. There are a number of ways that photographs can be used to better market products and corporations.

 

Commercial photographs of product lines, or of individual products, can either focus upon the design of the product (for example the sleekness of a kettle, or the depth of carpet fibers), or upon the use of the product (for example, the functions on an iPhone, or playing games on the Wii). Product commercial photography reveals the detail and feel of a product to the customer, while advertising commercial photography is more likely to focus upon the status and attractions of the product.

 

Businesses may want to use commercial photography to promote themselves, or particular aspects of their work. There is a difference between commercial photography, which is often performed in a studio or isolated environment, and industrial photography, which often takes place on the site or factory floor.

 

Food Photographs and retouching

Food can be photographed to promote menus or for use in culinary sections of magazines: these shots can either focus upon the food, rather like catalogue shots of clothes, or they can take in the mood and feel of a venue. Food photography can be performed by those with knowledge of nature or still-life shots.

 

Fashion Photography and retouching

Fashion photography is probably the best known type of commercial advertising photography, as these types of photographs show up in advertisements as well as editorials in magazines. There are a range of styles and techniques in commercial fashion photography, from catalogue photographs which attempt to show the entire detail of clothing, to editorial shots, which attempt to use the clothes in unusual and dynamic ways.

 

All these high-end discipline need the highest and most experienced and professional retouching skills available, its not enough to just know Photoshop, but actual art and illustration skill is vitally important, allot of amateurs or badly trained individuals never accomplish these high levels as a result of only learning the software and not actually having any high end illustration orpainting skills, skills that we are proud to have at Vanilla Rain.

The goal of photo manipulation is to make a realistic image that is very different from any existing photo. We provide digital photo montage services dealing with things such as people, objects, background changing and object transformation with professional quality.

 

What are the applications of Photoshop manipulations? It is a way to enhance photos or to manipulate objects and facts to make images that cannot be created in real life. It allows us to change people's environments and locations, to add or remove objects, to enhance interiors and real estate, and even make new scenes without any traces of Photoshop manipulation.

 

The key to a successful photo-montage is detailed true-to-life realism achieved by an image manipulator. We always aim at totally imperceptible Photoshop manipulation by doing either a simple face and background changing or complex environment and object modification. You will be surprised with the naturalness and overall quality of the image that can deceive even the eyes of a professional.

 

To achieve the required result we always do a close study of each case about the possibility to make a realistic look through photo manipulation.

 

What is needed to make a photo manipulation, changing a background, or joining images? You have to request a quote attaching pictures to be modified or using attachment materials. Write as much details as possible about the main task and about the use of attached photo materials. Please, make a precise and minute description of your photo manipulation aim.

 

Please know the limits of photo manipulation. Sometimes, realistic images cannot be done because of quality, lighting, or angle discrepancies of pictures to be joined.

Realistic photo colouring (colourisation) of black and white images is another way of photo renewal and memory refreshing.

 

We work only with scans of old photos. The quality of home scanners is enough for digital restoring.

Follow these tips for high-quality scans:

clean the photograph surface before scanning

Digital Photo enhancement services imply retouching, restoration, colour, brightness, or contrast enhancement and noise reduction. This section includes all of them except retouching and old photo restoration

 

What are the reasons of valuable images looking bad? It can be mistakes of the photographer, camera particularity, or poor shooting conditions. All of that can cause contrast and colour defects or high noise.

 

If the photo itself doesn't satisfy you,let us with experience and calibrated professional monitors enhance them. Digital photo correction may be needed for business or private usage just in case if the photo cannot be taken again. We help you both with base photo correction such as noise removal and with complex image recovery with excellent quality.

 

LIMITATIONS

 

Do you have an extremely bad image for enhancement? Please, note that some limits of digital photo enhancement exist. We cannot sharp extremely blurred photos and we cannot recover details on smoothed photos. We cannot enlarge small pictures (for indistinct faces recognition, for example). We cannot offer detail recovery in extremely dark or absolutely white sections..

 

This doesn't mean that you shouldn't send them for an estimate, but you should be informed that the abilities of photo enhancing have natural limitations and results.

How many times have you seen discoloured images taken in rooms with filament bulbs or underwater, old prints and images with unpleasant colours and incorrect white balance settings? Photos with Colour or exposure shifts don't seem to be suitable for professional or amateur use, but it can be overcome.

 

Colour correction is a major pre-press stage and is closely associated with making good looking prints and web albums. We provide pre-press, RAW conversion, and colour correction services of industry quality either separate or together with retouching.

 

Colour enhancement is demanded for successful printing and web publishing which includes temperature, skin tone adjustment, saturation, exposure, contrast and brightness correction, highlights and shadows balance control.

RAW processing

Overall professional RAW conversion for any equipment. Pre-press, styling, covering mistakes and troubles.

 

How do you identify photographs that need colour correction? It's simple; they're the ones that have a bad colour sense. Particularly it can be discoloured just in highlights or shadows and if the image is over lighted or too dark, it can easily be corrected too.

Realistic Photoshop changing of a photo background allows you to dream up and realise new situations, conditions, and atmospheres of the image, yet to get a lifelike image, it is especially important to make this manipulation accurate, with no traces of Photoshop.

 

You may need to change image backgrounds in many cases of your everyday or professional life. Most of the impressive beauty in ad photos are produced by shooting objects or people with homogeneous backgrounds. Then laborious image background changing begins.

 

The same method is used to make amateur photos amazing and to change the meaning of the photo or produce new images of non-existent events (travels, for example). And again high requirements must be met to achieve really natural and unquestionable results. We know how to make the eye believe in modified images.

 

Having universal skills and critical views on photographs, we offer much more than simple cut and paste. We take into account and adapt everything: reflections, angles, treatment of light and shade, photo noise or grain structure, and many other noticeable and unnoticeable categories. The main goal of our manipulations is to make your photograph indistinguishable from the natural.
