Image Retouching

Retouching gives an image a finished high quality look that isn't easily achievable without the use of Photoshop or similar editing programmes. 

A piece of jewellery will go through certain editing techniques before it is considered to be finished. This watch for example, has been cut out, resized and edited to look more presentable. I have used brightness and contrast to adjust the tones of the watch, I have sharpened it to make the clock face more detailed and have also brightened the clock face to bring out the bright whites in the face. 

More details of the process of my retouching can be found in the Evidence section.
