Editing Process for Headshots

We understand the balance of lightly enhancing your headshot by using editing tools to bring out the best of your features. We never take your headshot to the heavy-handed, "Photoshopped" look and we celebrate what makes you you.

Here's what we do:

Crop


Straightening and cropping your headshot to create the perfect frame so you're the main focus.

Color Correct


Adjusting white-balance, temperature, tint, exposure, contrast, etc. to create a stand-out look while also flattering your skin tone.

Skin Care


Addressing those pesky blemishes that decided to show up during your photo shoot while making sure your natural lines, moles, freckles, and anything that makes you uniquely you remain intact.

Eyes + Teeth


Brightening up those focus features so they are the first things you notice.

Hair


Removing those rebellious strands of hair that are pulling focus from your headshot.

Clothing


Fixing clothing distractions such as lint, exposed under clothing, loose seams, or inconsistencies such as a missing button.

Represent You


Most importantly our goal in the editing process is to enhance your natural, unique features so you are proud that your headshot represents you honestly. We are not in the business of changing your looks. There are tools to make you look 10 years younger, 10lbs lighter, and even make you look like a completely different person but Rose Colored Photography does not participate in unrealistic, damaging, beauty standards.
