NotaphotographerFrom what you are saying, your friend paid a wedding photographer $ 100.00 dollars and they are not happy..Well DUH!!!! That is the problem and why fauxtographers exist. People want perfection but do not want to pay for it, but that is another issue. But to answer your long question with a short answer. You do not have any copyrights as a retoucher. The photogrpaher is correct if you are showing © on the photo. The other question is did the photographer grant a license or give the copyrights to the bride? Is it in writing? If there is nothing formal, technically the photographer would still own all rights. I doubt they get a lawyer, but why would you want all the aggrevation.
