Retouched Image Samples
Demian’s Digital Magic on Still Images
When images are sent to me for use on the Web sites I program, they always need to be retouched. Even those that are professionally produced require re-sizing, sharpening to make up for the details lost when shrunk, color balancing, and cropping.
Sometimes retouching is extensive in order to shift focus or remove distracting elements. The following images demonstrate the extent to which retouching can alter an image and enhance impact.
