Hiring guide

What to look for in a Photoshop freelancer

A strong Photoshop expert works non-destructively and understands light, color, and detail, not just filters. Look for:

  • Clean masking and selection work, especially around hair and soft edges.
  • A non-destructive workflow: layers, smart objects, and adjustment layers over baked-in edits.
  • Natural retouching that keeps skin and texture believable rather than plastic.
  • An eye for color and light, so composites and edits actually match.
  • Delivery in the formats you need: layered PSD, print-ready, or web-optimized exports.

Ask for before-and-after examples and, ideally, a layered PSD. It shows how they build an edit, not just the final result.
