Level of Editing Complexity: This is the most significant determinant of cost. Editing services are usually categorized into tiers:

Basic Color Correction / Light Editing (approx. $0.25 - $1.00 per image): This includes fundamental adjustments like correcting exposure, white balance, contrast, brightness, cropping, and minor sharpening. It ensures consistency across the gallery and a clean, natural look. This is the foundation of all good editing.


Standard Editing / Medium Retouching (approx. $0.40 - $3.00 per image): Builds upon basic corrections and adds minor retouching such as blemish removal (e.g., a pimple, small scratch), subtle skin smoothing (without a "plastic" look), and perhaps slight lens correction. It's about perfecting the existing image.
