Photoshop Retouching Work
- Photo Retouch WorkBy Sophie Rule
- The following pieces are examples of various types of photo retouch work I have done. The pieces range from simple crop and color adjustments, to more complicated work restoring 50 year old photos literally crumbling apart. Each image will also include the “Before:” caption; explaining what I originally started with.

Before:Self-portrait taken model, with his webcam.
Issues addressed: Picture was taken in a bathroom mirror, and looked somewhat cheesy.

Before:Photo taken on point-and-shoot digital camera,Photo by Sophie Rule (me)Issues addressed: while the lighting looked good; the image focus was not obvious in the original dimensions, and the coloring took away from the sunset light behind the tree branch.
Before:3 photos taken on point-and-shoot digital camera,Photos by Sophie Rule (me)Issues addressed: The 3 photos were taken with the intent to merge them together later on in photoshop. Once merged some slight color adjustments were also added in the final touches stage.
