About Retouch Magic - Photo Manipulation and Retouching

Want to see what's happening in our group? VIEW OUR TOPIC INDEX HERE

An online community to showcase your retouched and restored photographs, to give and receive feedback and critique as well as receive information on methods, plugins and tutorials in our field. The only requirement to our group is that any photo you submit must be a retouch or restore piece. No original, straight from the camera shots unless they are to show what a shot looked like before being retouched.. The entire focus of this group is to share the art form that we are passionate about.

While there is no official Posting Limit, we will not allow flooding of this group and reserve the right to "weed down" any mass submissions of photos. This is not a dumping ground but a place for sharing ideas.

It is also a good idea to tell everyone what you did in a photo's description. This is not a requirement but it is a great way to share methods and learn.Please contact us at any time with any questions or if you are interested in helping to moderate this group.
