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.

14. Policy Modifications

Fine Grain LLC reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time.

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