charging for touch ups

Did your photographer charge you for this??? I know a lot of girls on here say they don't know if they are charged for it or not. I am finally sitting down looking through my proofs ,and I see a little bold print sentence that says 'all special instructions for digital work is an extra charge'.

I just wanted to know if anyone has done a digital album and if any touch ups is included???

Edit: Thanks MnM, I couldn't think of the word for fixing a photo lol

Re: charging for photo fixes

Our photographer charged I think 8 dollars per pictures to touch up.

Re: charging for touch ups

what kind of touchups do you need?

I got my pics on a disk (b/c I knew the photog) so I photoshopped my own and burned them to disk for him to use.

I do remember him saying it was expensive to have this done so I guess he would charge extra for it.

all i did was remove the gigantic freckle under my eyy and smooth out my neck rolls lol

Once he puts the pictures up on the website I am going to try to save some and fix them myself.
But, there are things like, at the Vanderbuilt there was this one area of a hallway that is outside kind of, and we are right in the middle of it, it's a beautiful picture but on the outside of the door way you see a sign that says 'no smoking' and another sign for something else. I really hope he can either crop it closer, or find a way to get rid of them b/c I don't know why he would've taken that picture with that crap in the way.

I was just wondering if this was the norm with the photographers. :) That's fine, there really isn't much I want to touch up other than cropping some things and fixing a 'tilted' picture.

Re: charging for touch ups

I'm really annoyed at our photog. We didn't do digital, we picked the traditional library album. I sent my #'s back to them with a letter saying that I'd need to write a paragraph for each photo to describe how it should be cropped and fixed. I told them that i trusted their artistic eye to make each picture perfect. They assured me that they would be done well. When I went to approve the lay out, not one picture was fixed the way I would have done it! but since they were already printed, I would've had to pay $50 a pic to have it fixed and reprinted!! What the hell was the point of me approving anything? I just approved the order that they were in. There was no way i was paying a penny more for our crappy pics. I'm still waiting on the album so i can pick it up and shove it in a closet! OK vent over! I just don't know how some photogs wouldn't want to give their customers total satisfaction, especially with the prices that they have the nerve to charge!
