we did that search some time ago and most people charges depending on what's needed, like crappy quality stuff with lots of grain versus "just color correction". In the end, if you've a lot of images, you'll find your best choice is to hire your own designer
That looks like just sharpening to me Micke ...
Hell I'll sharpen images for 5¢ each too!
Image color correction is more involved than that as far as I know ..
I notice Panky responded here, so I will say that she does gallery submits for me, and she has corrected many of my images also ... I am very happy with her service!
if you're going to do accurate color correction do the smart thing and shoot your model holding a standard color chart and run a bracketed exposure sequence. provide these files to the person doing the correcting so a proper sRGB white balance can be obtained.
otherwise, you will just get an "opinion" about what the colors should be.
I typicall charge $1 per pic. I've done color correcting & retouching for some of the big boys. Hit me up if you wanna discuss: I'll work a couple of pics over for you - no charge.

Whatever you do - you'll never be able to produce a skin tone that looks good on everyones monitor. Some people use monitors that cost $1000 and some people use monitors that cost $300. There's going to be a big difference in the behavior of both of these monitors in regards to color & contrast.
White balancing is the most important thing to capturing good color. I do a custom white balance before every set of pics that I shoot. It's a pain in the ass but my colors come out looking great and it's a lot less correcting in post.
