What Is Professional Headshot Editing?

A professional headshot is often your first impression — on LinkedIn, a company website, a casting portfolio, or a professional profile. The editing should be invisible: the subject looks like themselves on a good day, not over-processed or artificially smoothed.

We edit headshots by hand in Photoshop. Skin is corrected for tone and texture, blemishes and shine are reduced, eyes are enhanced and brightened, teeth are whitened, flyaway hair is cleaned up, lighting is balanced, and backgrounds are cleaned or replaced. The result looks polished and credible. 24–48 hour turnaround. From $5 per image. Bulk rates for photographers and studios.

Our Headshot Editing Services

From light retouching of naturally good headshots to full editing of heavily shadowed or poorly lit portraits — we deliver polished, professional results across all headshot types and lighting conditions.

Skin Tone and Texture Correction

Skin Tone & Texture Correction

Uneven skin tone, colour casts from studio lighting, and texture problems are corrected using curves, selective colour, and the healing brush. Skin is smoothed without removing texture or detail — the result looks natural, not plastic. Redness and discolouration are neutralised, creating an even, professional canvas.

  • Colour casts and redness neutralised
  • Skin tone evened across face
  • Texture smoothed without loss of detail
  • Natural, credible finish
Blemish and Shine Removal

Blemish, Acne & Shine Removal

Blemishes, breakouts, acne scars, and oily shine are removed using the healing brush and clone stamp. The removal is invisible — surrounding skin texture is matched so the correction doesn't stand out. Shine from forehead, nose, and cheeks is reduced while maintaining natural skin light and luminosity.

  • Blemishes and breakouts removed
  • Acne scars softened and blended
  • Oily shine reduced naturally
  • Invisible corrections with matched texture
Eye and Teeth Enhancement

Eye & Tooth Enhancement

Eyes are brightened and whites are clarified using selective sharpening and curve adjustments. Shadows under eyes are reduced. Teeth are whitened subtly without looking artificially bright — the goal is natural-looking brightness, not dental veneers. Pupil detail and catchlights are enhanced to make the subject look more engaged and alive.

  • Eyes brightened and sharpened
  • Under-eye shadows softened
  • Teeth whitened naturally
  • Catchlights and pupil detail enhanced
Hair and Background Cleanup

Hair & Background Cleanup

Flyaway hairs and stray strands are cleaned up using the clone stamp and healing brush. Hair edges are refined against the background. Backgrounds are cleaned of distracting elements, or completely removed and replaced with a solid colour or professional backdrop. Lighting and shadows are balanced to create depth and separation.

  • Flyaway and stray hair removed
  • Hair edges refined and sharpened
  • Background cleaned or replaced
  • Subject separated from background
Lighting and Color Balance

Lighting & Color Balance

Harsh shadows are softened, dark areas under the eyes and jaw are lifted, and overall lighting is balanced for a flattering, even look. Colour casts from studio lights are neutralised. The result reads as well-lit and professional, whether shot in natural light, studio conditions, or mixed lighting. Exposure is adjusted globally and selectively as needed.

  • Harsh shadows softened
  • Dark areas lifted and brightened
  • Colour cast eliminated
  • Even, professional lighting
