You may have heard mention of GDPR on the news, and have received numerous emails from companies asking if you still want to hear from them. This is down to a new law on Data Protection and Privacy that comes into effect on 25th May 2018.

I love my job… always something different. Today I’ve been editing and re-touching a lovely young lady’s graduation photo, as she said that it didn’t look like her.

I had to literally replace her eyebrows, which looked fuzzy and a strange colour, and also move her mouth slightly as a ‘rogue shadow’ was making it look lopsided.

Now it’s so much better and it looks like her. I hope she’ll be pleased too.
