    What Does Photo Editing and Retouching Mean? | Wedding Advice from Dallas Photographers

    I’m dishing out some wedding photography advice today for brides.  I wanted to talk about the difference between edited and retouched because they do mean two different things. An edited image is corrected for color, contrast, saturation and exposure and cropping if needed.  We try and get things as right in camera as possible so...

    • LaceyOh! I had no idea that edited and retouched didn’t mean the same thing. Thank you for spreading the knowledge.ReplyCancel

    • milsztof fotograf olsztynGreat post. Being upfront excludes bride’s dissapointment.ReplyCancel

      • adminThis information is shared with the couple from the get go but I also like to illustrate points.

        I like to be very upfront and what you see on my site is what you get. I don’t believe in retouching images just for the blog so they appear better. My clients get what they see.ReplyCancel

    • LauraSee now why didn’t you write this back when I was convincing my mom we needed a DOC? I’m already so glad to be working with Rachel!ReplyCancel

    • Jonathan IvyThis is so true! Not only does a coordinator make the bride, groom & their families stress free, they make the vendors carry a whole lot less stress too. Planners are a definite! These are all such great points!ReplyCancel

    • Samantha FosterThis is so very true! Coming from a brides stand point and from a vendors stand point having a planner is a must, if you can’t afford a full coordinator which is ideal, make sure to at least have Day Of Coordination. It is essential to the couples and their parents having a smooth, enjoyable wedding experience. If you are going to spend all this time, money and love creating something, don’t skimp on implementation. All the greatest ideas and decor in the world are nothing without someone to put them in motion and keep them in motion. Great post!ReplyCancel
