You get what you pay for. Retouching should NEVER cost anything less than £100. Retouching can take hours, and anyone can remove a spot but there's so much more to it than most people think. ESPECIALLY if your going to be printing big, you will notice every clone stamp or Frequency seperation colouring. It's an art in itself like your video just proved. One persons vision is completely different to another, some from lack of experience and some from personal taste. These in the video are both. They are doing what they "THINK" is retouching from some youtube tuts they have seen. But have never watched a real professional who gets paid to do it for big companies. For example I LOVE Piximperfect PS tutorials, but some of his examples of editing are truly awful.
Nice video btw. And I'm 100% sure you knew what you were gonna get from their example photos ;)

Retouch 4 - When just the forehead had loaded... We didn't need to see anymore!! hahaha

Sorry but these prices are the reason for so much bullshit circling through the internet. When I retouch a beauty pic it takes me up to 8 hours and will cost you around 160 €. I have to pay taxes an all the things. These 5$ people are the reason why customers don't want to pay for my work. Really sad!

lmao, that fourth one must've been a straight troll... i actually liked the third (and most expensive) one maybe most, because it was most "natural", relatively speaking, though once you pointed out the blur it was hard to un-see. #1 was def most editorial.

seeing all the images, side by side. The first and second edit was amazing to me. my only problem with the first is the strong line in the model nose, looking like its a bad contour make up. and the tone in the second one looks gorgeous to my personal taste. if blend yours with the tone of the second, was perfection to me. but the shot is amazing so, to be honest, dont have any way to make it look bad. xD

if i were you, i would not outsource editing somekind of art photography. It is a lot more feels on it, not just techical. Outsource would be effective for cleanining background, cleaning stains, you know, something more technical. If i were editing your photo, i would ask you to send some samples (probaly 5-10) for me to see the style you are after. Editing photo is so personal, it is always come down to personal style

I’m enjoying your videos a lot, they’re very insightful and your personality shines though your videos and you make us laugh 😂

Ian: as long as it's five something.
Fiverr dude: five kidneys it shall be.

The first retouched photo was amazing, I was really mind blown by her work. Kudos to her creating such a professional work for this price. I could see the similarity in color choice compering to your photo but I think she did a slight better job with the dodge & burn + not sure this amount of liquefy in your photo was needed. anyway tnx for sharing your experience

[fauxamy]

exactly i too look capturing everything on my phone to dslr camera but editing is a headache!

[dopeynguyen]

What where the link or names of your first and second retouchers?

[Taflagar]

will you be making a tutorial on how you edit photos like these?

[ffort]

can you do a video on how to edit skin and etc?

[photosbyanette]

The last Fiverr retouching - too funny and scary. Love your sense of humor

[sabinabacevich]

please keep making videos, they are very helpful!

[diasone]

Please make your editing tutorial for fashion photography !! Please

[fotoflorian]

Great video, but I would consider either blocking or blurring out the names of fiver users to avoid any humiliation for them when critiquing their work, or lack thereof...

[JohnGress]

Now you have me rethinking this whole outsourcing thing. Cheers!
