Headshot Retouching Service

About this service

• I'm a headshot photographer. Can I outsource the retouching for a whole session?

  Yes. Send the selected frames together and tell us your standard: backdrop tone, how far to go on skin, and the crop. The editor cleans the backdrop, removes stands and badges, tidies hair and clothing, and keeps the whole set consistent. There is no minimum, so a single sitter is fine too.

• Can you change the background?

  Yes. Tell us what you want, such as a plain neutral color for LinkedIn or a company website, and the editor cuts you out by hand, hair included, and places you on it.

• Can you make a whole team's photos match?

  Yes. Send the staff portraits together and tell us the background, brightness and skin-tone look you want, so the team page reads as one set. This is common for company websites, school faculty pages and hospitals.

• How much does a group or team photo cost?

  It depends on how many people need work and how involved the request is, not on how many people are in the picture. As a general guide, retouching up to three people is 1 credit, and four to eight people is 2 credits. For nine or more, the editor looks at the request and the resolution and tells you the price before starting. If only one person in a large group needs retouching, it is still 1 credit. Nothing extra is charged unless you agree.

• Will I still look like me?

  Yes. A good headshot looks like you on a good day. Skin and light are evened out, but your features and skin texture are kept, so people recognize you when they meet you.

• How should I tell you where the photo will be used?

  Mention it in the order notes, for example LinkedIn, a company website or a badge, along with any size or crop requirement. The editor frames the result to suit.

Ordering with Tucia

• Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?

  By a real person. Every photo is assigned to a professional human editor who does the work by hand, and a human checks the result before delivery. AI tools are used only for narrow helper steps, never as a one-click filter.

• How much does it cost?

  Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.

• How long does it take?

  Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.

• What if I'm not happy with the result?

  Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.

• Are my photos kept private?

  Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
