1. Purpose and Scope
This Retouching, Deliverables and Artistic Standards Policy defines the professional
standards, retouching approach, deliverables, revision limits, and quality expectations
applicable to all photography services provided by Fine Grain LLC.
This Policy applies to all clients, packages, sessions, and delivered materials unless
explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.
This Policy forms an integral part of the Terms of Service.
2. Artistic Direction and Style
Fine Grain LLC maintains a consistent, brand aligned photographic style focused on
authenticity, professionalism, and long term usability.
Artistic decisions related to lighting, composition, framing, color, contrast, and
expression are made based on professional judgment and the outcomes discussed
prior to or during the session.
By engaging the Company, clients acknowledge familiarity with the Company’s portfolio
and accept the established artistic style.
3. Retouching Philosophy
Retouching is performed with restraint and integrity.
The objective of retouching is to enhance image quality while preserving natural skin
texture, realistic features, and the subject’s authentic appearance.
Retouching does not aim to alter identity, body structure, or defining characteristics.
4. Standard Retouching Included
Unless otherwise specified in writing, standard retouching may include:
Exposure and color correction
White balance adjustments
Cropping and straightening
Minor skin cleanup while preserving texture
Removal of temporary blemishes or distractions
Subtle sharpening and tonal refinement
Standard retouching does not include extensive manipulation or cosmetic alteration.
5. Excluded Retouching Services
The following are not included unless explicitly agreed and may incur additional fees:
Body reshaping or slimming
Facial feature alteration
Removal of permanent features such as scars or tattoos
Background replacement or compositing
Heavy skin smoothing or plastic retouching
Digital makeup application
Artistic effects or filters
Requests falling outside standard retouching are evaluated on a case by case basis.
6. Client Review and Revision Process
Where applicable, clients may review selected images prior to final delivery.
Revisions are limited to the scope included in the booked package.
Revision requests must be reasonable, specific, and consistent with the Company’s
retouching philosophy.
Multiple revision rounds or subjective preference changes may be subject to additional
fees.
7. Subjective Expectations
Photography is inherently subjective.
Differences in personal preference regarding appearance, expression, or style do not
constitute defects or grounds for rejection where professional standards have been met.
The Company does not guarantee personal satisfaction beyond adherence to agreed
deliverables and professional execution.
8. Deliverables
Deliverables are defined by the selected package or written agreement and may
include:
Final retouched digital images
Web optimised and print ready versions
Cropped variations for square, vertical, and horizontal use
Files delivered via secure digital transfer
Raw files, unedited images, or outtakes are not delivered unless explicitly agreed in
writing.
9. File Formats and Resolution
Unless otherwise agreed, delivered images may be provided in commonly used
professional formats suitable for digital and print use.
The Company determines appropriate file formats, color profiles, and resolutions to
ensure optimal quality and compatibility.
10. Delivery Timeframes
Estimated delivery timelines are communicated prior to or during booking.
Delivery timelines may vary based on project scope, image volume, and retouching
complexity.
Timelines are estimates and not guaranteed deadlines unless explicitly agreed in
writing.
11. Archiving and Storage
The Company may retain delivered images for archival or backup purposes for a limited
period.
The Company does not guarantee indefinite storage of files.
Clients are responsible for downloading, backing up, and safeguarding delivered
images once made available.
12. Corrections and Technical Issues
If a delivered file contains a demonstrable technical error attributable to the Company,
the Company will make reasonable efforts to correct and re deliver the file.
Technical errors do not include subjective dissatisfaction or preference changes.
13. Relationship to Other Policies
This Policy should be read in conjunction with the Terms of Service and the Image
Usage, Licensing and Intellectual Property Policy.
In case of conflict, the Terms of Service prevail unless otherwise stated.

Updated versions will be published on the website with an updated Effective Date.
