100th Birthday Photos Retouched Beautifully

I have a set of treasured shots from my grandpa’s 100th birthday and I need them refined without losing their authenticity. The main priorities are:

• Lifting the shadows and balancing the lighting so every face is clearly visible.
• Smoothing clothing and removing small background distractions that draw the eye away from the people.
• Gentle facial retouching on everyone in the frame—think polished yet still realistic, no plastic-skin look.

Every person in each photo deserves equal attention, so please avoid selectively enhancing only a few subjects. Colour accuracy is important too; skin tones should stay true to life.

Deliverables
1. High-resolution, print-ready JPEGs (and layered PSDs if you work non-destructively).
2. Consistent retouching across the full set so they display cohesively in an album or slideshow.
3. A brief note on the adjustments you made, just for my records.

If you work in Photoshop or Lightroom and can turn this around promptly, I’m eager to get started.
