How to Retouch E-Commerce Photography

When shopping online, it’s important to know how a product is going to look and feel before it arrives at your door.

Product Images for the Web

Most online stores have multiple images for each of their products. Learn how to create and edit photos that will fit with any web design, advertisement, or banner–all while staying consistent with the look and style of each image.

CREATE PURE WHITE BACKGROUNDS FOR WEBSITES

Export for the Web

Learn how to export your final images for the web, at the the right size and with accurate colors. We walk you through a professional workflow that will help you deliver photos to your clients faster and with perfect results.

HELP PRODUCTS STAND OUT

Even exposure and accurate colors are both essential to great product photos. We take you through Lightroom Classic to make adjustments to light and white balance, and then into Photoshop to wrap it up with additional lighting and coloring to help the products stand out.

Bring out the Details

Learn how to enhance the textures and details of products using Photoshop! Add contrast, shape, and definition with professional techniques like sharpening and dodging and burning.

Dodging & Burning

Give a product a three-dimensional feel with dodging and burning. Learn how to dodge and burn at multiple levels, enhancing the shape and definition of an entire image and then zooming into the product to help the details shine.

Real products. Real clients.

  1. tutorials on watches please :)))

  2. Very easy to follow, very informative. I’m just starting to learn Photoshop and Aaron is the only person, I kid you not, whom I understand and can follow the classes and know what do to. Thanks a lot!

  3. Another great tutorial. Shout out to whoever edited the music.

  4. This was an amazing course, I simply love how Aaron makes the learning so easy.

  5. Great course that shows you the full spectrum from understanding the client to the final saving, obviously with the focus and in-depth process of retouching. What I really love about it is that you get to learn from Aaron’s workflow and the stream of thoughts, which I believe is where you learn most about how to use each tool, not only about the technical side of it.

  6. This was a great tutorial to learn about a broad spectrum of techniques for retouching images. Taking images from Lightroom over to Photoshop was made simple and approachable. Aaron demonstrates techniques clearly and provides excellent explanations as to the steps in his process. It was awesome to work on a set of photos that had such interesting features and elements.

  7. Amazing again Aaron! This is the most straight forward and fun product retouching I have ever seen.

  8. Great as always, it’s been months now that I have been learning from Aaron, and the confidence is there, together with the skill set that just keeps growing! Amazing way of dealing with the background while re-touching an e-commerce product, my favorite take from the tutorial. Thanks!

  9. Great Tutorial, I found some fabric samples that I was able to photograph and easily make them the background of some jewellery photos using Aarons’ frequency separation technique.

  10. Awesome tutorial!

  11. Fantastic tutorial. I find it very helpful when the tutorials revolve around real products. I also find it very helpful to have more than one photo to work with. Being able to apply the concepts many times help me to improve my skill level.

  12. thx you very much but I hope you put a translation of the lessons plz .

  13. When we have contrast between the motif and the background, the work is greatly simplified by the tools and techniques in Photoshop. Okay. But … and if our jewelry is gold, silver and diamonds? The technique of adjustment of pure white through levels does not work, since we have many very light and gray mirror reflections. What technique do you use for these cases? I believe that the only way is to create paths for each piece. Could you give us a tutorial with silver, diamonds, steel, etc … Fantastic the background color change chapter.

  14. Excellent tutorial, hopefully leading to high quality work!

  15. Thank you for a great tutorial, exactly what I need to give make my handmade jewellery photos a professional looking finish

  16. This course appeared on Phlearn at just the right time for me as I need to do some photos for my wife’s handmade jewellery business. The level of detail in the course is fantastic and having the sample images will help me really understand each step of the processes involved. Thanks Aaron and the Phlearn team 🙂

  17. I very love your retouching videos ! <3
