Image retouching for print and digital.

Assisted in production and quality control for four-color print advertising at A&P supermarket chain. * Assembled weekly four-color advertising circular pages using Adobe InDesign. * Used Adobe Photoshop to perform image enhancements, silhouetting, photo retouching and color corrections. * Employed proprietary software to aid in auto-population of advertising circular pages, generating PDF's, digital work flow, file transmission and image archiving. * Proofread, performed revisions, prepared/pre-flighted, and generated high-resolution PDF's for final release to printer. Found and corrected out-of-safety issues and RGB/spot color errors, which aided in avoiding press delays and the resulting added costs. * Implemented a color-coded email system that allowed Mac operators to make text corrections with minimal supervision and fewer work delays.
