RetouchLab combines frequency separation and dodge & burn — the two techniques every professional retoucher uses — into a single brush you paint with. No layers to set up, no blend modes to learn.
Real results from RetouchLab — just the brush, nothing else. Drag the slider to compare.
200 photos of the bride, groom, and guests. Every face needs retouching. With RetouchLab, that's under an hour instead of days.
100 portraits from a corporate event. Quick, natural retouch on every face. Paint, flatten, next photo.
10 final images for a client. You want that polished, professional look but not the hours of frequency separation.
Every face is different. Every photographer has their own style. Adjust everything inside the plugin — before or after retouching. No need to redo anything.
Open the RetouchLab panel and click the button. The plugin sets up all the layers, mask, and brush automatically.
Use the white brush on any skin you want retouched. Adjust brush opacity for lighter or stronger effect. That's all you need to know.
Flatten and export. Adjust the sliders anytime if you want more smoothing, more texture, or a different look — no need to start over.
Frequency separation + dodge & burn in one brush. All you need is Photoshop.
No. A complete beginner can use RetouchLab and get professional results. If you can use a brush in Photoshop, you can retouch skin. The plugin handles all the complex layer setup — you just paint where you want smooth skin.
No. RetouchLab preserves real skin texture — visible pores, natural grain. It's not an AI filter that makes skin look plastic. The result looks like it was retouched by a professional, because it uses the same techniques professionals use.
RetouchLab is brush-based — you decide exactly where and how much to retouch. Tools like Portraiture or PortraitPro apply effects automatically, which often over-smooths areas or misses spots. RetouchLab also combines frequency separation AND dodge & burn in one tool, which no other plugin does. And it's €79 one-time vs €250+ for alternatives.
Yes. All 5 sliders work in real-time even after you've painted. Want more smoothing? Slide it up. Too much texture? Slide it down. You never need to redo the retouching — just adjust until it looks right.
Photoshop 2021 (v22) or later, including Photoshop 2025. Works with RAW files from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and any other camera.
No. One-time payment of €79. All future updates are included forever. No monthly fees.
