FAQ
Watch photo retouching FAQ
What watch sellers ask before they try watch photo retouching on their first photo.
Can watch photo retouching remove the reflection from a watch crystal?
Yes. Watch photo retouching removes window, lamp and ceiling reflections from the crystal and leaves a faint, natural reflection, so the crystal still looks like glass rather than an open dial.
Will watch photo retouching change the dial, the logo or the hands?
Watch photo retouching is built to keep the dial exactly as photographed: brand name, logo, numerals, indices, sub-dials, date and hand positions. Fine print comes through best when the dial is sharp and shot straight on.
How long does watch photo retouching take?
Most watch photo retouching results are ready in about a minute. Large batches run one photo after another, so a full intake of ten watches is done in minutes rather than the days a retouching studio needs.
Which watch photo retouching mode should I use?
Precise & Natural is the default for watch photo retouching because it stays closest to the original detail. Vivid & Fast adds more contrast and sparkle and suits gem-set bezels or a punchier shop style.
Can I run watch photo retouching on several photos at once?
Yes. Sign in, switch the form to Batch and upload up to 10 photos; watch photo retouching submits them one after another with the same settings, and you can download the finished results together.
Can watch photo retouching give me a transparent background?
Yes. Switch on Transparent PNG and watch photo retouching removes the white background and the shadows, ready for banners, newsletters or your own site.
What resolution does watch photo retouching deliver?
Choose 1K, 2K or 3K. 2K is plenty for Chrono24 and eBay listings; 3K gives extra room for zoom and print.
Is watch photo retouching good for Chrono24 and eBay listings?
Yes. Watch photo retouching gives you a clean, evenly lit watch on pure white, the look buyers expect from a main listing image on Chrono24, eBay, Shopify or your own shop.
Does watch photo retouching work on vintage and gold watches?
Yes. Watch photo retouching corrects yellow room light and dust on vintage pieces and keeps patina, aged lume and the warm tone of gold cases, so a vintage watch still looks its age.
How does watch photo retouching compare with a retoucher?
A retoucher works one photo at a time and usually takes a day or more per batch. Watch photo retouching runs the same clean-up on every photo in about a minute, at a fraction of the cost per image.
What photos work best for watch photo retouching?
A photo of the watch on its own, with the whole case in frame and the dial in focus. Desk, cushion or box backgrounds are fine — watch photo retouching replaces them with white.
Is watch photo retouching free to try?
New accounts get free credits to try watch photo retouching. After that, credit packs are a one-time payment with no subscription, and the credits do not expire.
