A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Impossible to close open eyes? It is, according to my professional photographer 🤨 (alien.top)

Hi. I've had a newborn photosession and the baby did not want to miss a thing! So unfortunately the eyes are open on almost all photos and it's not the vibe we were going for.

I prepurchased a session pack including retouching and deep photoshopping, and asked the photographer to edit babys eyes closed.

But photographer refuses and says it's not possible. I am happy with the other edits made, but disappointed with the eyes not being closed.

    Do I have to accept the refusal or do you have some ideas on a tool that eases the proces?

I tried googling myself but I haven't used Photoshop since a random media class in middle school so Idk if it really is that complicated or not. A lot of new tools and AI has been invented since then.

     Follow up question:

If I just accept the photos as they are, can you recommend an AI program to help me achieve what I'm going for without losing too much of the resolution?

I wanted to print some of the portraits so the quality needs to be preserved as much as possible.

Thank you.

Professional retoucher here... Sure I can give you a photo with its eyes closed but they won't be your baby's eyes. That's up to you if that's important or not. I personally wouldn't want my child's eyes ripped from a stock image of another baby lmao.

I would never expect that to be part of a photographers retouching package.
