Topshots (Retouch)

TOPSHOTS midi and maxi

Short Overview

What are Topshots?
What are the differencies between Midi and Maxi?

Topshots are images retouched / processed by Photoshop.

How exactly are the topshot(s) selected?
The topshot(s) will be selected directly after the shooting in front of true color HD screens according to professional criteria. You will be going through your files one by one together with the photographer.
If you have booked Lounge Lab 15, 30 or 45 you will get the entire photographic material and select topshots by yourself.
Your topshots - wether selected on your own or together with the photographer - will then be corrected and considerably be enhanced.

Find below a detailled description:

Digital photographs nearly always need to be edited; this way, you benefit from a considerable visual enhancement. Every image is edited one by one, and individual customer wishes are also respected. 

Your photos will be processed with Photoshop; as a rule, Instagram filters or beauty apps etc. are not applied!

The precise service scope of the Midi & Maxi topshots:

*MIDI": Brightness, contrast, color and tonality correction. All face shine and blemishes are removed. In addition: brightening of shadows in deep-set eyes, removal of skin imperfections (blackheads, cold sores, etc.), scars, evening out of the skin tone (in the case of an uneven tan, for instance), undereye circles, lachrymal sacks, red eyes, lip contrast, tooth whitening; major reduction or removal of facial wrinkles (nasolabial folds, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, etc.), lint, dandruff and stain removal from clothing, etc. 

Hair correction: filling in gaps; removal of stray strands or single hairs. Neck/face shape adjustment: Reducing the size of the face; adjusting eye size, upper body shape adjustment (slimming effect). In addition, individual customer wishes, such as additional shirt buttons, necktie button adjustment, smoothing out sleeve folds, removal of shirt creases, etc.

The midi touch-up has a great impact and usually covers 99% of the embellishments required!


"MAXI" = includes a digital backdrop.
For a supplement (flat rate) a digital backdrop is inserted.

Studiolounge offers a set of different backdrops for almost any purpose.
This process may lead to a considerable enhancement of a portrait.

Maxi topshots are intense, and visually provide absolutely perfect high-end results that will not be overseen! They are typically used for websites, banners, digital or physical presentations, e.g. at conferences, or for brochures, catalogues, press releases etc.
Suitable Backdrops delivered by third parties can also be added at any time, e.g. with corporate colours.

Upon request, we convert topshots into black and white at no additional cost.

You may by all means also select more topshots than are included in your package! The topshots already included in the packages CV & Business 1 and 2  are cheaper than additional topshots (flat rates).
The flat rate for the maxi option (digital backdrop) is always the same.

Additional Topshots (flat rates in CHF)
midi: 40.00 per unit / person; maxi: + 30.00 per file

Additional topshots can be subsequently ordered and paid.

Not included in the Midi and Maxi service scope:

The flat rates mentioned above always apply to ONE single person.
If several people appear in one photo that needs to be retouched, e.g. in team photos, the relevant number of midi retouches will be charged.
Of course, you will only be charged once per file to insert a new backdrop (‘maxi’)!
