Hey there, I work specifically on high-end food retouching and packaging visuals where raw, poorly lit product shots are transformed into premium, print-ready compositions that hold up in real-world packaging environments. I understand CMYK workflows, 300 DPI constraints, and the importance of maintaining color accuracy across TIFF/PSD outputs for press. My approach is structured: rebuild lighting direction, enhance texture fidelity, and use controlled compositing to achieve a “studio-shot” restaurant aesthetic while keeping everything print-safe and artifact-free. AI-assisted tools (Stable Diffusion, generative fill, and upscaling pipelines) are used strictly to support realism—not replace retouching judgment. `raw_photo → relight() → texture_enhance() → composite_scene() → CMYK_prepress_check()` Yes, I’ve worked with raw, unprofessional food images and consistently elevated them into advertising-grade visuals suitable for packaging and retail shelves. One question: are your reference styles closer to fine dining editorial photography or bold commercial FMCG packaging? Inbox me ASAP. Warm regards, Umer Kayani
