Topshots (Retouch)

TOPSHOTS midi and maxi

Short Overview

What are Topshots?
What are the differencies between Midi and Midi + Maxi?

Topshots are images retouched / processed by Photoshop.

How exactly are the topshot(s) selected?
The topshot(s) will be selected directly after the shooting in front of true color HD screens according to professional criteria. You will be going through your files one by one together with the photographer.
If you have booked Lounge Lab 15, 30 or 45 you will get the entire photographic material and select topshots by yourself.
Your topshots - wether selected on your own or together with the photographer - will then be corrected and considerably be enhanced.

Digital photographs nearly always need to be edited; this way, you benefit from a considerable visual enhancement. Every image is edited one by one, and individual customer wishes are also respected.
