How retouching is done
You send your photo
Your product photo, with dust, scratches, smudges or stray glare you want gone.
We find every mark
An editor marks every spot to fix, down to the smallest speck.
We clean each one by hand
Each mark is cleaned out by hand while the real texture of the material, like grain, leather or weave, stays.
Clean, with the same finish
A clean surface, finished to the same standard on every photo in the set, checked by a second editor.
Why studio product retouching converts better than basic gig cleanup.
High-ticket ecommerce buyers inspect textures and finishes closely. Low-cost editing leaves smudges and destroys materials. See the difference.
| Feature | Reframe Studio | Automated AI Enhancers | Low-Cost Gig Freelancers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texture Preservation | Frequency separation keeps 100% natural material texture | Over-smooths surfaces into plastic-looking mush | Often erases subtle grain, leather pores, and weave |
| Dust & Scratch Removal | Micro-level cleanup leaving zero smudge artifacts | Blur filters that degrade overall image sharpness | Visible brush cloning halos and stamp repetition |
| Reflection Balancing | Smooths harsh studio glare while preserving real sheen | Cannot distinguish between reflection and product shape | Uneven contrast adjustments that dull polished surfaces |
| Edge & Contour Fidelity | Crisp, sharp boundaries with no loss of fine details | Softens edges causing product to bleed into background | Inconsistent edge sharpness across the item |
| Quality Assurance | Two-editor review at 100% zoom before delivery | Zero quality verification | Self-checked only; inconsistent across batches |
| Production Capacity | 2,500+ images daily with 24h guaranteed SLA | Instant, but requires manual repair by designers | Unreliable turnaround and high drop-off risk |

Probably the best team I have worked with, and I use the platform very very often. Awesome pricing & highest possible result. Everything done to the smallest details. They really know how to use PS. Will definitely work with them in the long run.

No. Background Removal, Color Change, Pattern Change, Ghost Mannequin and heavy Image Manipulation are separate services. Order them together in one job and we handle them in one pass.
Yes. Our editors remove microscopic dust specks, micro-scratches, lint, and fingerprint oils down to single-pixel blemishes while maintaining genuine material texture, reflections, and fine surface gradients.
When photographing reflective surfaces like perfume bottles, glassware, polished metal, or plastic packaging, camera lenses, tripods, and studio lighting equipment often reflect onto the product. We remove and balance unwanted reflections, rebuilding authentic highlights so the product looks natural and clean.
