DBecome — “help me grow”Across seasons, inconsistent retouch thresholds (what counts as acceptable blemish removal)…+

Across seasons, inconsistent retouch thresholds (what counts as acceptable blemish removal) have created visual drift and extra hours. Identify which specific retouch choices (face paint retouching intensity, texture preservation, shadow reconstruction) most often cost credibility. Propose one policy change—scripted acceptance criteria or a two-tier review—that reduces rework, keeps brand fidelity, and clearly instructs in-store staff and the studio on what not to touch.
