Photo retouch — AI-directed
In a resort, photos rarely arrive studio-ready. The daily case: a phone snap from a department — and a publish deadline the same evening. Drag the slider.
15:42 — F&B sends a phone photo of tonight's special. The lobby screens update at 18:00.

Workflow, honestly: in 2026 retouching is directing AI — Photoshop's Generative Fill, Remove and
relight tools do the pixels; the designer's job is the eye: what to remove, how to light it, and keeping the
grade on-brand. These pairs were produced with that exact workflow — the "before" is the kind of photo staff
really send, the "after" is the same frame, corrected and graded to the Bürgenstock look.
