New to the industry. With that being the case, I'm trying to understand the benefits of investing in retouching.  Most of my favorite shots have been captured, beautiful albeit,  with natural lighting. So, heres a chance to get creative.  I'd like someone to prove that an otherwise raw image can still be naturally beautiful, and still look like me, even with a digital touch.

First, you need the photographer's permission before any alteration of their work.

Second, web-sized images are very difficult to edit, not a lot of pixels to work with. A retoucher would need the full size images.

I'm not sure how to post the original raw, but can send it thru email if needed. Again, this is just out of curiosity as I learn more.

Dropbox seems to be a popular method in this forum. Either that or show a list of thumbnails with names and people can ask for to to send the raw's.

Personally I like the Dropbox method but it does give away a lot of control.
