Retouching Terms
This is a preview of the retouching terms you will see in this book. Some are clear-cut industry terms, and some are more ephemeral—in other words, the lingo that has developed in the retouching studio to describe visual things and "feelings." My defnitions of these terms are not in the strictest scientifc sense but rather an explanation of how retouchers use the terms in everyday work. It is in no way meant to be comprehensive.
I asked some of my favorite retouchers to send me a list of jargon they use both with one another and with their clients, and I got some pretty varied responses. My favorite was How about ‘retouching?’ I guess a lot of people don’t know what it means.
