Photo Editor for Image Enhancement

Posted 4 days ago

Summary

I’m looking for an experienced product photo retoucher / Photoshop expert to clean up and finalize a product image for my high-end artisan metalwork brand. The product is a freestanding fireplace screen. I have an existing studio photo of the actual piece, plus a reference image showing the correct aged gold finish and the clean white-background style I want to match. The final image needs to look like a polished luxury e-commerce product shot, similar to the product images on our website. Project goal: Create a sharp, crisp, website-ready product image of the fireplace screen on a clean white background, with accurate proportions, clean edges, realistic mesh detail, and a warm aged gold finish. Important details: Product name: Alden Fireplace Screen Final file name: Alden_AgedGold_ClaireCroweCollection Actual product dimensions: 40" wide x 29" high Bottom base attached to the feet: 1.5" high total, including the feet Feet height: 0.5" high The base should look low, slim, and understated — not heavy or chunky The product should remain front-facing and centered Preserve the actual screen design and structure Clean up/remove the studio background, visible sweep edges, wall clutter, ladder, side objects, and any distractions Place product on seamless white background Add a soft, natural grounding shadow Match the warm aged gold / brass finish from the reference image The finish should feel refined, softly patinated, and artisan-made — not bright yellow, fake metallic, or overly shiny Keep the mesh sharp, visible, and neutral The final image must hold up when zoomed in on a Shopify product page Deliverables: High-resolution final PNG or JPG, minimum 3000 px wide, preferably closer to 4000 px wide Layered PSD file Web-optimized version for Shopify Optional: one close-up crop showing the finish and mesh detail Quality expectations: This cannot look like a quick AI edit or a blurry background-removal job. The mesh needs to be crisp, the frame edges need to be clean, and the metal finish needs to feel believable and high-end. I need someone with strong product retouching skills, especially with metal, furniture, interiors, or luxury e-commerce imagery. Please include examples of similar product retouching work, especially white-background product photos, furniture, metalwork, lighting, fireplace screens, or home décor. To apply, please answer: Have you retouched metal or furniture products before? Can you create a final image that remains sharp when zoomed in on a product page? What resolution would you recommend for Shopify product zoom? What would your process be for preserving the mesh detail while cleaning up the image? How quickly could you complete one final image? I will provide: Original product photo Finish reference image Website product reference link Notes on dimensions and proportions
