The moments that lead here
If one of these is your afternoon, you are in the right place.
Across my last catalog shoots I keep giving away texture to quick retouching—dust gone but glaze surfaces flattened. I want a steady approach that keeps the craft’s materiality. Where am I losing the tactile quality and what one retouching habit should I build to retain surface character while removing distractions?

Become — change the pattern
+Looking at past catalog images, identify the moments where retouching eliminated tactile cues (overuse of blur, heavy cloning, too much frequency separation). Recommend one habit to adopt—like always keeping a texture layer and toggling it at 25%—and a small checklist to follow per image type to remove dust and stray people without sacrificing material detail.
