Your photo speaks before you do. Whether it’s your LinkedIn headshot, a team photo, or the images that sell your product, people decide what to think of you in about two seconds.

In this episode, professional retoucher Beth Perkins shares five fast edits that make any photo look sharper, brighter, and more trustworthy without turning you (or your brand) into something fake.

You’ll learn:

• Why your image is your first hook, and how to make it count
• The five fixes that instantly lift quality: straighten & crop, exposure & contrast, white balance, vibrancy, and spot-healing
• How small visual tweaks create trust and consistency across your brand
• Why “real” always beats “filtered”, and where AI editing crosses the line

Beth’s also created a free visual guide with before-and-after examples so you can apply the changes right away.
