a video where your subscribers edit your photos would be cool!! ❤️

You get what you pay for. Retouching should NEVER cost anything less than £100. Retouching can take hours, and anyone can remove a spot but there's so much more to it than most people think. ESPECIALLY if your going to be printing big, you will notice every clone stamp or Frequency seperation colouring. It's an art in itself like your video just proved. One persons vision is completely different to another, some from lack of experience and some from personal taste. These in the video are both. They are doing what they "THINK" is retouching from some youtube tuts they have seen. But have never watched a real professional who gets paid to do it for big companies. For example I LOVE Piximperfect PS tutorials, but some of his examples of editing are truly awful. Nice video btw. And I'm 100% sure you knew what you were gonna get from their example photos ;)

Retouch 4 - When just the forehead had loaded... We didn't need to see anymore!! hahaha

if i were you, i would not outsource editing somekind of art photography. It is a lot more feels on it, not just techical. Outsource would be effective for cleanining background, cleaning stains, you know, something more technical. If i were editing your photo, i would ask you to send some samples (probaly 5-10) for me to see the style you are after. Editing photo is so personal, it is always come down to personal style

Sorry but these prices are the reason for so much bullshit circling through the internet. When I retouch a beauty pic it takes me up to 8 hours and will cost you around 160 €. I have to pay taxes an all the things. These 5$ people are the reason why customers don't want to pay for my work. Really sad!

I’m enjoying your videos a lot, they’re very insightful and your personality shines though your videos and you make us laugh 😂

The last Fiverr retouching - too funny and scary. Love your sense of humor

“Full on Gaussian” 🤣 this video is hilarious

Ian you cracked me up baddddd😂😂😂😂

"this one is rough" 😂😂

lmao, that fourth one must've been a straight troll... i actually liked the third (and most expensive) one maybe most, because it was most "natural", relatively speaking, though once you pointed out the blur it was hard to un-see. #1 was def most editorial.

That last edit oh my god. "The lipstick is attacking me" 😂

this was an insightful video. tx!

Now you have me rethinking this whole outsourcing thing. Cheers!

please keep making videos, they are very helpful!

seeing all the images, side by side. The first and second edit was amazing to me. my only problem with the first is the strong line in the model nose, looking like its a bad contour make up. and the tone in the second one looks gorgeous to my personal taste. if blend yours with the tone of the second, was perfection to me. but the shot is amazing so, to be honest, dont have any way to make it look bad. xD

this video is everything im looking for a photography content

Ian: as long as it's five something. Fiverr dude: five kidneys it shall be.

12:10 lmfaooo I’m laughing the disappointment 😭

I’m not mad I’m just disappointed ....LMAO

What where the link or names of your first and second retouchers?

will you be making a tutorial on how you edit photos like these?

You remind me of a close friend of mine, Edi. Dead on the floor right now haaha.

This was hilarious!

Your commentary has me gagging 😹

Not gonna get a High Fiverr on some of those edits , or chest bump for that matter . Great video , thank you taking the time to make and post .

the 3rd one omg

Great video, but I would consider either blocking or blurring out the names of fiver users to avoid any humiliation for them when critiquing their work, or lack thereof...

can you do a video on how to edit skin and etc?

I have a question would you recommend using a Canon 90D for professional use in the fashion industry? Thank you love your work! Please respond soon. 🙏

Please, do a tutorial! Show us how it's done!

Gracias por compartir.

Very interesting, my guesses were confirmed.

U r right... Editing pics is a bigggg task...

Please make your editing tutorial for fashion photography !! Please

exactly i too look capturing everything on my phone to dslr camera but editing is a headache!

Hi boss I wish I can get these file ,I want to give it a try

I like this one, very interesting.

Hi Ian, many thanks for this review! Where have you get this wonderful mirror? Greetings from Hamburg.

Can you please add link to a RAW photo and another link to your edit (.psd with layers?) :) Great video by the way!!!

After this video I actually consider to go on fiverr and retouch photos for people. But I‘m scared that they will send their selfies 🤭

You worked hard to get the feel and style in your image. Some retouchers seem to think that your picture needed rescuing. When your work is artistic the retoucher needs to be in the loop for your final vision if the outcome is to meet what you want. It takes me quite a while to edit and retouch images and I would charge by the hour as well as having a period of consultation with the artist. I think some have got some quick fix approaches which they tweak. They are taking the price of retouching down too far and taking work away from people who charge industry rates.

The retouch #4 is Jessica Kobeissi ... don't talk about her like that ! LoL !

Did you make the model’s eyes larger?

What software do u use as far as what laptop do u tether to and adobe or capture one

The first retouched photo was amazing, I was really mind blown by her work. Kudos to her creating such a professional work for this price. I could see the similarity in color choice compering to your photo but I think she did a slight better job with the dodge & burn + not sure this amount of liquefy in your photo was needed. anyway tnx for sharing your experience

Bro what is that jumper I neeeed it !!

HAHAHA! I love it *5 something* !!!!

may i know the fiver account for the first retoucher?

Wow the last two looked very rough

Why not doing a vid tut on retouching for your subscribers

I think #3 is the best，but your’s is impressive

I will love to edit one of your images, please. At no cost, let me try out my stunt on your image.

Can you link the people that retouched your images the way that you like on fiverr. I have been looking for a decent retoucher for a while.

i'd love a shot at retouching an image ofyours!

What you want for 5 dollars. Hahahaha, a professional don't take 5 dollars. This is funny.

for 5 bucks its perfect imo, I thought that I can retouch but after seeing this, I would prefer to pay someone for few bucks lol

за 5 долларов тут должны были частотным всё зафигачить и хватит.

Why don't you gave a retouch video of this image ?🤔

I like the skin color in the photo you edited and the part of the face where it ends above the lower lip, the lower jaw I would have worked more, it looks a little dark relative to the light on the rest of the face and the uneven lower jaw is especially striking, it looks asymmetrical. in any case, your editing looks the most professional. I Like under the video and subscribe to you. Thank you for the video.

And jenny wants me to use fiverr for my logo lols

That last one omg eww. It's like the uploaded your photo to a Rebel camera and used a Motorola RaZr to edit and reupload it back to you through a 48.8k modem. That sucker was absolutely hideous.

I'm a professional retoucher and I want to cry from the work that retouchers sent in this video :(

So the last retouch is not very editorial style. I understand your disappointment there. However, I liked how it looked like a painting.

Hello Ian, can you look after my retouch result? I need other opinion from someone overseas Love to hearing from you

I doubt any serious retoucher can be found there.

Probably wouldn't outsource unless I knew the retouchers work and we had a similar style of editing. Somehow I think I would feel the end result wouldn't be a 100% my photo.

The first one is such a pleasant surprise!!

I am very impressed with your knowledge, but it will be even better if you share the correct post-production process for everyone to refer to.

Make me do one! I am the frigging best... :)

Honestly, having to edit my photos keeps me from shooting as much as a should be. I hate editing

The second was totally bad, but the price is unbeatable so we can't really ask much. The third one was even worse: the retoucher totally used the Skin Smoothing in the Natural Filter selection. And don't get me started on the fourth one! :(

Hi Ian,,, the real question here is,,, (did you get your money back) I think they would of headed to the hills,,, never to be seen again,,, Another problem would be,,, who would you see if they didnt respond to your complaint,,, Dealing with an overseas client to risky for me,,, I would like to know tho if you did try to get some of your money back.

Possible to have this image for me to retouch? I can send it back you let me know what you think about it. If you have spare time for this.

It's take upto 3 hours for one photo edit for me .

Love the first edit! Do you have a link to their fiverr account? :)

This photo didn't deserve what it went through. Obviously, it's a high-end beauty shot, so you'd need a high end retoucher that doesn't use frequency separation and can clean the skin with clone stamp and healing brush properly as well as fix any color issues with the skin. If I send something like that to the photographers I work with, I'll never hear from them again. Beautiful photo tho.

для $5 нормальная ретушь. но чтобы сделали качественно это должно стоить в неск.раз больше.

If you don't edit your own photos you are not allowed to add them to your portfolio since you did not create them

Did he say sugar tax???? Like taxing just for sugar? Like sugar you buy for $2 a bag?? Bruh, buy Coke Zero and I just solved your economy. Zero sugar and you have enough sugary Coke for a lifetime. You’re welcome

At the #1, that's not the real skin dude!

5 dolla for 3 days in indonesia 😂

Buy Luminar AI!!!

its all overdone, looks like they used a script or some software.

*I'm putoff by the fact that the models wear make up and then still the photos need to be edited to further distort their natural appearance*

I just wonder, what magic would you do for 5dollars. And would you yourself agree to do this quality level for such a price and time it takes to retouch. It's easy to criticize others when you take an example done for 5 dollars only and expecting it to be high end retouching...You got here 50 times more for 5 dollars here than you should of.

too much photoshop.. but what do you expect? Paying peanuts, getting monkeys.

Why wouldn't you give them directions? The more info you gave them the better you could have compared them? If you leave it to interpretation of the retoucher the results depend on their 'artistic' view, not yours or your expectations for a 5 pound worth. I wouldn't even open PS for mere 5 pound on a payed job.

Send me a Original Photo I will Retouch for u ... Free
