I wasn’t happy with the box lid shape in the photo, so I straightened it out. I retouched scuffs on the box and imperfections and reflections on the bottle.
It was necessary to highlight every text and logo in the photo so I masked them carefuly and precisely and cleaned their colors.

Main issue to retouch in this photo were parasitic colors. So I decolorize the photo, made masks with pen and paths and gave the product its proper look back.
Frequency separation for dust removal was needed due to rugged structure of the case.
