I shoot film, so there isn’t that much to sift from. I do my own retouches.

If you shoot a lot, you may want to look into a retoucher. It does add to your overhead (obviously) so maybe someone who you can grow with and who you have good chemistry with and can work with your rates. They will save you time (and time is $). Really great ones can match whatever look you want to go with. Be careful though, SO many people think they can set up Photoshop and be a retoucher. It’s really an art. And as such should be treated like that. Personal references makes it so much better.
