Beauty-Retouch
That means that beauty retouch does not merely aim to eliminate defects and improve images in general. Rather, depicted persons are edited following a specific ideal of beauty. Thus, beauty retouch is common in advertising and fashion photography and is mostly used for commercial purposes. Rarely, also private individuals want their photos to be retouched in terms of beauty aspects.
Beauty retouch can also not be compared with the classic retouch of portraits. The latter usually includes general improvements, such as the retouch of dark circles around the eyes or smoothenig the skin. Beauty retouch also implies these steps but can reach much further. For instance, body shape and physical proportions are often manipulated to slenderise models or or teeth are whitened.
