Jewelry reveals tiny dust marks, fingerprints, scratches, reflections, and color differences. Retouching should clean temporary distractions while keeping the material believable.
Build a repeatable workflow
Control reflections instead of removing every highlight. Metal needs tonal variation to show shape, while gemstones need accurate color and facet detail.
What to check before export
- Keep the composition and crop consistent.
- Check exposure and color against a reliable reference.
- Inspect edges at high magnification.
- Review the image at normal website display size.
- Keep a high-quality master separate from web-ready files.
