A vendor supplied a retouch workflow and preset pack that a junior editor wants to adopt. I’m protective of our look and need to know if this will slip our images away from studio standards. Tell me what to audit first in their presets — contrast shapes, skin tone shifts, sharpening — and one clear pass/fail test so I can approve or reject the vendor workflow without redoing files later.
