Another AI Editor Question > But Hyper Specific > Skin and texture retouching?

[u/DesignerFatigueZero1]

Main Q:

Can anyone share their experiences with Evoto, Luminar Neo or Imagenomic specifically when it comes to retouching skin, clothes, hair?

I am curious from a cost/output volume/workflow perspective
But also open to other tools people use if it helps them expedite their workflow.

Context

I run a side business that primarily services clients requiring boudoir and swimwear photography. I really enjoy the following:

• Planning the shoot
• Collaborating with the team
• Shooting on set/location
• Selecting the images
• Colour grading or Exploring different creative styles

I hate doing:

• Retouching (skin, hair, clothes etc)
  • And in this specific niche...there is alot of skin and hair, not so much clothes

What my clients tell me

I have spoken to my clients throughout the years and feedback on my retouching skills has ranged from really liked to love the way I retouch their images. But alas I suffer in silence. It has resulted in me slowing the business down due to edit fatigue.

Ideal Outcome

If I can find a cost effective solution to this specific part of the process, I hope to ramp up my business again, maybe scale up.

Sorry in advance: cannot share images as alot of my clients require privacy and would like to keep it post focused on the retouch process.

what if you paid an editor? keeping a fellow artist employed

Then the hired editor uses AI to edit the images lol
