I have a single portrait that I need refined into a polished, professional-looking headshot. The priorities are clear: first, remove a few minor blemishes so skin still looks authentic; second, apply lighting and color corrections that stay very natural—no over-smoothing or artificial glow; and finally, replace blur the background a bit. Please crop so that there is not as much photo about the head. Please work non-destructively (layered file or equivalent) so adjustments can be revisited if needed. A high-resolution JPEG suitable for LinkedIn and print, plus the editable source file from Photoshop or Lightroom, will complete the hand-off.
