Este es un buen ejemplo de lo que nos entrega el fotógrafo (o a veces el mismo cliente), y lo que un buen RETOCADOR de imágenes genera para poder integrarlo en los catálogos que creamos.

Antes y después. A la izquierda, el archivo que nos entrega el fotógrafo (o el cliente mismo) y a la derecha, lo que el retocador de imágenes genera para poder usarlo ya sea en web o en los catálogos impresos que generamos.
