“Honestly this plugin is INSANE. I shoot like around 10-15 sessions a week and retouching was killing me, spending 30-40 min per photo doing freq. separation by hand.”
“I've been using Retouchlab Skin Pro and it has genuinely made a huge difference in my workflow. It saves a lot of time, especially when working on larger batches of images.”
“Great time saver tool that gives you full control of the amount of retouching you want.”

“I'm obsessed with how much time this tool saves me.”
“A great tool that speeds up the retouching process. It's easy to control the strength of the effects, which helps maintain natural skin texture.”
“I've been using this plugin for my portrait photos, and it makes the retouching process much faster.”
“Incredible tool! So happy that I bought it! Skin retouching is incredibly good and now it's much easier than I had used other tools. 100% recommendations!”
“Very customizable, fastens the process of editing the skin. Also, the ability to make separate zones makes it even greater. 10/10.”
“And the skin still looks real, you can see the pores and texture, its not that weird plastic look you get from AI tools.”
“What I really like is that it doesn't overdo the skin - it keeps everything looking natural while still cleaning up the image beautifully.”
“Super easy to adjust the levels of frequency separation, dodge & burn and smoothing needed while being able to recover details and keeping the real skin texture.”

“The fact that it does frequency separation AND dodge & burn together in one brush???? Like nobody else does this??”
“Before, I had to spend much more time manually retouching every detail, but now the process is significantly faster and less tiring.”
“The best thing is that you can create your mask first and then be able to change the intensity of your adjustments as you go.”
“What I love most is how much time it saves while still giving full control over the final look. Honestly, once you start using it, it's hard to imagine editing without it.”
“I tried Portraiture before and Retouch4me but they auto detect everything and half the time they smooth stuff I didnt want smoothed. Here I just brush where I want it.”
“It simplifies retouching without compromising quality, and it's definitely something I would recommend to anyone working with portraits or beauty photography.”
“Can't wait to use it for the next fashion week season knowing that I no longer have to spend the whole night retouching the images for the next day!”

COMMON QUESTIONS
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.
Photoshop 2022 (v23.3) or later. Works with RAW (CR2, NEF, ARW), JPG, TIFF, PNG, PSD.
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 €149.

Yes, through Photoshop. In Lightroom press Cmd/Ctrl+E, retouch with Skin Pro in Photoshop, save and close - the retouched photo lands back in your Lightroom catalog next to the original. You need Photoshop (Adobe's Photography plan includes it). Lightroom mobile is not supported. Step-by-step for Lightroom users →
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.
