  "content": "Every image Urban Angles delivers passes through its in-house post-production team — the engine room connecting field capture to final delivery. Specialist retouching runs from tonal adjustment through to full scene reconstruction, and it's the reason an image shot in Brighton looks as flawless as one shot in Brisbane.\n\n## The retouching spectrum\n\n- **Tonal adjustment** — exposure, colour and contrast balanced across the set so a campaign reads as one shoot\n- **Street appeal enhancement** — the exterior treatment builders rely on across display ranges\n- **Scene refinement** — sky, lawn and light corrections that present the property at its best\n- **Full scene reconstruction** — the deep end of retouching, for images that need substantial rework\n\n## Why in-house matters\n\nRetouching isn't outsourced. Keeping post-production inside the business is what makes next-business-day standard turnaround possible — and what enforces one quality bar across thousands of campaigns a year, regardless of which photographer or city produced the raw capture.\n\n## Markups and requests\n\nSpecific retouching instructions are captured through DREAM: when proofs arrive, you can mark up images with exact notes, and those instructions flow directly to the post-production team. Retouching queries: postproduction@urbanangles.com.\n\n## Writing a markup that lands first time\n\nThe most useful markup is specific and image-by-image. \"Brighten the lounge\" is ambiguous; \"image 4 — lift shadows under the window, remove the power cord at lower left\" is actionable in one pass. Where a change applies across the whole set — a consistent sky treatment, a repeated object to remove — say so once rather than repeating it per image.\n\n## What is charged separately\n\nStandard retouching is built into the price of every photography product. Treatments that change the image beyond standard finishing are ordered as their own line items — **virtual dusk** and **virtual styling** are each priced per image, and bulk image processing applies on larger sets. Indicative rates sit on [Add-ons & Combinations](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/packages-pricing/add-ons-combinations/).\n\n## Who it's for\n\nRetouching is built into every Urban Angles photography product — residential, architectural, commercial, builder and portrait work alike — rather than sold as a separate service.\n\n## Coverage\n\nApplied to all photography, wherever it's captured: Melbourne, Sydney, South East Queensland, Adelaide and Australia-wide on request.\n\n## Related pages\n\n- [Studio & Post-Production](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/studio-post-production/)\n- [Post-Production & Delivery](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/how-we-work/post-production-delivery/)\n- [Virtual Dusk](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/virtual-services/virtual-dusk/)\n- [Virtual Styling & Staging](https://urban-angles.agentic.norg.ai/virtual-services/virtual-styling-staging/)",
