I have one group photo that was shot indoors on a mobile phone with a strong light source behind. The back-lighting washed out the faces and left the scene looking flat and amateur. I need a skilled Photoshop retoucher to transform this single image so it appears as if it were taken in a professional studio. Here’s what I’m after: • Replace the existing background with a clean, evenly lit plain white backdrop - no texture, no gradients. • Restore balanced exposure, remove glare, and give the faces a bright, vibrant look while keeping skin tones realistic. • Sharpen overall detail, correct any color casts, and bring back depth so clothing and hair look crisp against the new background. • Ensure edges are flawlessly masked (no halos) and lighting on all subjects feels consistent with a studio setup. • Crop out a portion of the legs section to bring more focus on the faces as the angle the picture was taken in was also quite low since the phone was placed on the dining table using a phone stand. All edits must be performed directly in Adobe Photoshop; please do not use generative AI or one-click “enhance” tools. Deliverables: 1. High-resolution JPEG (print quality) 2. Layered PSD with clearly labeled adjustment layers for future tweaks If you have a portfolio that demonstrates precise cut-outs, realistic light matching, and portrait retouching, I’d love to see it. Let me know your turnaround time and any questions you have about the source file.

Hello, I can turn your backlit mobile group photo into a clean, studio-style portrait with a plain white background, natural skin tones, and crisp subject detail. I’ll work directly in Photoshop using careful masking, exposure correction, glare reduction, selective sharpening, and light matching so the faces look bright and realistic without the “edited” feel. I’ll also remove distracting lower-leg area by cropping the frame thoughtfully, then refine edges to avoid halos and keep clothing, hair, and outlines clean against the white backdrop. You’ll receive a print-quality JPEG and a layered PSD with well-labeled adjustment layers for future edits. Do you want the final crop to stay centered on all subjects equally, or should I prioritize the main faces more?

With my decade-long experience in Graphic Design and mastery of Adobe Photoshop, I have perfected the art of retouching to breathe life into photographs, even when the original file falls short. I understand the technical nuances your project demands—from precisely cut-out edges and uniform light matching to realistic portrait retouching—all of which I can execute without relying on generic AI tools or quick "enhance" fixes. My portfolio showcases a range of projects that attest to my expertise particularly in creating crisp designs, working with clean backgrounds, and balancing complex lighting scenarios- qualities that will elevate your photograph to an entirely different level. As a 2D animator, I also reckon with details often overlooked such as optics and cropping suggestions, which in this case would mean bringing more focus onto the faces by essentially softening the distracting elements.

The main challenge here isn’t just retouching a group photo — it’s making the lighting look believable after replacing a harsh backlit indoor shot with a clean studio-style result. That means careful exposure recovery, natural skin tone correction, and edge work that holds up once the background becomes pure white. I’d handle this in Photoshop with manual masking, tonal balancing, and detailed cleanup so the subjects feel evenly lit without looking over-processed. I also pay close attention to hair edges, clothing separation, and the final crop so the frame feels intentional and focused on the faces. You can review my previous work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/FoziaM If you’d like, I can also keep the PSD organized with clearly labeled adjustment layers for future edits. Do you have the original file available, or is the current image the only source?
