First Photo Retoucher

Hey all — I run AI production at a post house. We primarily produce video + still work for retail brands. We're spinning up a project with a furniture manufacturer and need a retoucher who lives in the gap between AI generation and finished, commercially-acceptable imagery. Starting ASAP. 3-month contract to start, with real potential to grow into a full-time role for the right person. What you'd be doing: Taking AI-generated room scenes and furniture imagery and pushing them to "looks like a real catalog shot" quality Fixing the usual AI tells — Material inconsistencies, weird fabric/wood textures, lighting that doesn't match Color work, surface detail, compositing AI outputs with real product references when needed Working at volume — this is production, not one-offs What we need from you: Strong Photoshop fundamentals (this isn't a generative-only role — the polish work happens in PS) Demonstrated experience cleaning up AI-generated imagery, especially interiors / product Comfortable in at least one AI gen tool (Midjourney, SD/Comfy, Magnific, Krea — whatever you use) Color-critical eye. We will reject work that's "close enough" Can hit deadlines and communicate async Nice to have: Furniture / interiors / catalog retouching background Magnific / Topaz / Photoshop generative fill workflow chops Any background in retail or e-comm imagery Pay $25/hr min, more based on experience. To apply: DM me here. Send a portfolio link (specifically AI work if you have it — happy to look at standard retouch too if the AI piece is newer for you), your rate, and your availability.
