I have photos that are not great....?

Question

another person from the online community im on offered to retouch them but my photos are better than the work they do. How do I turn the offer down without hurting their feelings because it was such a sweet gesture but realistically mine are by far better. ugh what do I do :(

Answer 1

How about if you accept the offer for a couple of photos, then display them side by side with the caption that states which is the original, and the other "post processed by soandso".

If the pp'ing is really bad, he/she might even realize it once viewed side by side. If they don't realize, just leave them there for a while, then eventually delete them again.
