1. there is a very big differences in retouching prices bettwen the websites that provides retouching services so you may find a website provide a retouching service for 40 $ per photo although there is another website that provides the same service with the same quality for just 12 $ , so you have to search for the right website and to be assure for the quality and the pricing issues before ordering or submiting your photo .
2. professional retouchers have enough experience to know what do you exactly what just when you mention it , cause they had many experoences and many persons before asked for the same thing that you want , but also it would be better to be informative and describe exactly what you need , and you may submit a sample for a photo that you need your photo to be

4. some websites provides additional gifts and versions for free , and thats what most of peoples like to get ( me my self one of them ) , here is some retouching portfolio and samples .
5. most of the website finishes your photo in around 48 hours after ordering and thats the best you can find , and the rest of websites finishes your photo in around 3 to 4 days , there is only one website provides the finished photo in 12 hrs .
6. what to charge : for retouching skin and smoothing face and some color corrections it would be from 6 to 15 $ , and for removing or adding or slimming or any additional work it would be from 15 to 20 $ , for high end retouching would be from 20 to 30 $ .. if you found more than this rates then you shouldn’t order , cause you will pay more for additional ( AIR ) as you can do the same service for the prices i mentioned .
