Image retouching and editing

At m&h, retouching an image isn’t just waving a magic wand; it’s an art. It all starts with a conversation with the agency’s art director or the client to fully understand the creative vision. Once we’re on the same page, our expert retouchers take over to perfect your visuals. And because we believe in doing things the right way, every approval step goes through Workfront Proof, our collaborative platform that streamlines validations and minimizes back-and-forth. The result? Impeccable images that capture exactly what you had in mind (or even better).

Technical retouching is the foundation: balancing colours, adjusting contrasts, removing imperfections and eliminating distracting elements. It’s all about precision to ensure every visual is clean, consistent, and ready to shine, whether on screen or in print.

Creative retouching is where the magic happens: photomontages, special effects and even 3D modelling. This is where we pull out all the stops to create visuals that grab attention and stick in people’s minds. In summary, whether the retouching is technical or creative, m&h’s experts excel at both.

At m&h, we know that every minute counts. Simple technical retouching can often be delivered quickly thanks to AI-powered tools that enhance our efficiency. For more complex requests, like special effects or photomontages, we take the necessary time to ensure a result worthy of a masterpiece. No matter the complexity, we always establish a clear timeline from the start, because meeting your deadlines is non-negotiable for us.

If your image has sufficient resolution, chances are we can transform it into something extraordinary—we’ve even turned video screenshots into large-format posters! And even if it needs a little boost in quality, our tools can often work wonders. While we don’t promise the impossible, we love a challenge; however, if we believe the image can’t be improved without starting from scratch, we won’t waste your time.

When there’s a high volume of images to retouch, like for a catalogue or magazine, we know how to stay organized. We aim to assign the work to a single retoucher to ensure perfect consistency, but when the workload is too large to meet a deadline, multiple experts step in. No need to worry: parameters are shared among our retouchers to maintain visual harmony, and the lead retoucher reviews every image to ensure perfection. Here, no detail goes unnoticed.
