Batch Skin Retouching for Catalog Shoots

Process full catalogs without touching each frame individually.

Why Catalog Shoots Break Manual Retouching

A 200-frame catalog shoot at 10 minutes per frame is 33 hours of retouching. Even with a fast team, turnarounds slip and consistency suffers because different retouchers apply different levels of smoothing, color correction, and cleanup.

Retouchable batch mode applies the same skin settings to every frame in one run. Consistency is automatic, turnaround drops from days to hours, and retouchers spend their time on the hero shots that actually need manual work.

How It Works with Retouchable

Drag all files in at once. Retouchable accepts JPEG, PNG, and standard RAW outputs.

Pick strength, tone matching reference, and any optional passes like under-eye lift or tooth whitening.

5 Batch Retouching Best Practices

Pick a Reference Frame

Use one hero shot as the tone anchor for the whole batch. Everything else matches to it.

Test on a Sample First

Run five frames through first, check settings, then batch the rest. Faster than undoing a bad run.

Keep Batches By Setup

Group frames by lighting setup. Batching across wildly different setups limits how consistent the output can be.

Hero Shots Get Manual Passes

Reserve manual retouching for covers and hero frames. Batch everything else.

Name Files Systematically

Consistent file names make it easy to QC the output against the originals.

Retouch a Whole Catalog in Minutes

Upload your shoot and get back consistent, retouched frames without touching each one.
