Hi guys, we sometimes need do some edits of photos, especially wedding photos for customers. But my wedding photographer friend found it takes much time to retouch wedding photos. I just wonder what troubles you most when touching up the wedding photos for customers? The same problem?

It does take a lot of time. You have to deal with the lighting issues. Those unexpected shots that you can't sit there and figure out what the camera settings need to be in a split second. Then there are all those people in the audience that think they are the photographer snapping shots at the same time (even though you ask them not to) and then you have the problem of ghosting. You can't exactly stop the bride and say...heh you need a little powder on your forehead because we are getting a reflection while she is walking down the isle. Wedding photography is in my opinion one of the hardest to do, simply because it's a once in a life time moment and there is no going back to re shoot the shot if it doesn't work out right. I've only done three weddings, two were small but the third was fairly large. After the third, I don't want to do it ever again.

Then he is in the wrong business. Forget the excuses. That kind of work is brutal. Doing it right means this: You wouldn't have to post in these forums. Wedding photography is an art and so is managing the clients. I will stop here. If the person cannot edit to the satisfaction of the client they are in the wrong biz...
