To touch again, or rework, in order to improve; to revise; as, to retouch a picture or an essay.
A partial reworking,as of a painting, a sculptor's clay model, or the like.
All intentional flaking that modifies an artifact after detachment from the core. Commonly in a series of contiguous small flake scars located on the perimeter of the tool. Retouching is used to sharpen, thin, shape, blunt, or other wise modify the artifact.
The removal of small secondary flakes along the edge of a lithic artifact to improve or alter the cutting properties of that edge. Retouch flaking may be BIFACIAL or UNIFACIAL.
The Retouch Tool allows you to make adjustments to certain areas of your image, rather than to the entire image. See the tutorial on the Retouch Tool
A stone tool with retouch on an edge is one where the edge has been reworked, for example to make in sharper.
Retouch - the work done to a flint implement after its preliminary roughing-out in order to make it into a functional tool. In the case of a core-tool, such as a hand-axe, retouch may simply consist of roughly trimming the edge by striking with a hammerstone, but on smaller, finer flake or blade tools it is usually carried out by pressure flaking. Retouch, also known as secondary working, is one of the most obvious features distinguishing a man-made from a naturally struck flint.
