Retouchers make use of the powerful tools contained in popular software such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to help them work. They are usually trained on the job although many people opt to take classes in handling retouching jobs. While there are many easy-to-use software programs that even a layman can use to retouch images, retouchers know their work inside out which is why many people prefer to have their photographs revived or retouched by professionals like me.
