No. If you can use a brush in Photoshop, you can use RetouchLab. The plugin handles all layer setup automatically.

No. RetouchLab preserves real skin texture - pores, natural grain. It uses the same techniques professional retouchers use by hand.

Yes. All 7 sliders work in real-time even after painting. No need to redo anything - just adjust until it looks right.

Both Retouch4me and PortraitPro are automatic - they decide where and how much to retouch. You get little to no control, and results often look over-processed or plastic.

RetouchLab is brush-based: you paint exactly where you want retouching. The skin stays natural because you're in control, not an algorithm. It also lives inside Photoshop - no switching apps, no exporting.

On top of that, Retouch4me sells frequency separation, dodge & burn, and skin tone as separate plugins - €500+ combined. RetouchLab does all three in one brush for €79.

Professional retouchers don't use AI. They use three techniques manually: frequency separation (separates skin texture from colour so you can smooth tone without destroying pores), dodge & burn (lightens and darkens specific spots to even out shadows and highlights), and tone evening (removes redness and uneven colour patches). Done by hand, this takes 20–45 minutes per photo.

RetouchLab puts all three into one brush. When you paint over skin, it runs frequency separation, dodge & burn, and tone evening simultaneously - in real time. You see the result as you paint. You control exactly where it goes and how strong it is with 7 adjustable sliders.

The result looks professional because it uses the same techniques professionals use - just without the hours of manual setup. AI guesses. This doesn't guess. You decide.
