### **Requirements**

### **The customer experience in the shop**

Customers are prompted to add **professional retouching** in their cart. They select images, confirm, and check out.

![customer selecting images for retouching](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/Kj2Su7IuP67AlwWYMRWkZ9f4WqfHccTVhg.png)

### **Setup**

![price list page with professional retouching entry](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/5-01tPX1nylvs8FVru2dzpIqf-wP31LsDA.png)

You can adjust these settings anytime.

![input field to set per-image price](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/kISE2Ybh2k2LJWX1KrFWU1lShPJAO5KKOA.png)

### **Set up automation for AI retouching (saves time)**

This section walks you through enabling AI automation step-by-step.

### **A. Processing time and fees**

### **- Process automatically**

\[Optional\] The AI completes orders automatically with no further review.

### **- Hold for review**

Enable “Hold for review” so orders go to Manual Revision for your approval.

![automation setup screen showing hold for review toggle](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/oQLdN9tyFhDyGl_RmGCzURrieT8F5z-jSA.png)

1. Click *Activate* to finalize automation settings.
2. After checkout, if “Hold for review” is selected, retouched orders are sent to Manual Revision.
3. Open the order, click “Review images” to view AI results.
   
   ![manual revision review screen with review images button](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/DIm87aNjKiM2Thl-WHDMciwpbi36RbcZwA.png)
4. Review each image in the pop-up.
   
   ![pop‑up to approve or reject retouched images](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/gETYz_lSWMmaeizW0y-zgj-zDAV2HXTsTA.png)
5. Finalize the review:
     - If you approve all, click *'Confirm selection'* to move the order forward and replace the originals with edited versions in order and photo management.
     - If some are rejected:
           - Download them for manual retouching.
           - Keep order in Manual Revision and upload your own edits.

### **Manual retouching (DIY approach)**

If automation is not enabled, follow these steps for manual retouching workflows.

Customers still select professional retouching at checkout.

![shop view showing professional retouching selection](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/VibvJEa8CFN-FkNxqZ6J372QIzwHdh58CQ.png)

In the Manual Revision tab:

1. Filter by “Professional retouching product”.
2. Download all selected photos via \*\*Photos for retouching\*\* from the Download Photos dropdown.
   
   ![download photos for retouching button](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/CjcWnxmV5NoxFIpjfb4_B13ROQvS8oA9Uw.png)
   
   ![download all photos for retouching list](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/Kw3Um8dd7HYtW3qhERr9r6N1MRn_B0QtNg.png)
3. After your edits, replace images using:
     - **Review photos** — for bulk replacements without cropping.  
       ![review photos bulk replace option](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/522ol5JFdRtZ4o0siA5MKVIuMo_aI_zO3Q.png)
     - **Adjust photo** — for replacements with cropping changes (per product).  
       ![adjust photo cropping option](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/wXlApOgYbHQNZtNgK5-KJoumRDzBbsd8fQ.png)

### **FAQs**

**Will the original image stay intact?**

After retouching (automatic or manual), the edited image replaces the original in both the order and Photo Management. Future orders will use the retouched version.

**Do I need to hold the images for review?**

You can temporarily enable “Hold for review” to verify edits before sending to the lab. Once you’re satisfied, switch to full automation for hands‑off processing.

**How will I be charged?**

Charges appear on your monthly GotPhoto invoice.

**Can I offer two or three different types of retouching with different price points in the shop?** 

In its present form, the feature supports only a single retouching product and type. We aim to include additional options in upcoming versions-We'd love to hear your feedback, it helps us to constantly improve our product!

**Will shoppers preview retouching on their own photos?**

No. They will see sample images illustrating each option without watermarks to guide their selection.

**Will the retouching presets also cover spots on clothes?**

No, the preset only applies to skin, not clothing. 

**Will I be notified if a customer orders the retouching product when I have enabled the automation that doesn't require me to review the images?**  

Yes. After the service is complete, you’ll receive a notification that includes a copy of the retouched image and all relevant order information.

**Can I add the professional retouching product to my [Order Entry](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/manually-input-orders-via-order-entry?hsLang=en)price list?**

The professional retouching product was developed exclusively for the online shop.

It is technically possible to add the professional retouching product to an order. Doing so will automatically move the order into Manual Revision, where you can then apply the retouching. However, the automation (AI retouching)  is not designed and supported for use within order entry.

### **The takeaway**

GotPhoto supports both AI‑powered automation and manual retouching workflows. Choose fast, scalable efficiency with AI or retain full manual control - your workflow, your choice.
