New Product: Retouch4me Lab — Your Visual Style from RAW to Final Look
Lab is a new standalone tool where AI color grading, professional color management tools (HSL, Curves, Color Matrix, LUT) and artistic effects — Halation, Bloom, Chromatic Aberration — are combined in one workspace.
Processing happens locally, without the cloud. Works with both RAW files and ready-made images. Full control over every change — at any stage.
Who it’s for:
— Photographers who want to develop a recognizable visual style without lengthy manual adjustments
— Retouchers who need a predictable color base before retouching
— Anyone who shoots series and wants a unified mood across the entire shoot
Lab is a tool for creating a visual style: with AI assistance, but under your full control. Try it — and make it your own.
Photoshop Panel 1.56 — More Control Over Cloud Retouching
Version 1.56 introduces two new tools for cloud processing — both designed to give you more precision without extra manual work.
Heal Now Separates Moles and Pimples: When using Heal in the cloud, moles and pimples are now processed as separate retouching types. You can remove or reduce pimples while keeping moles, or adjust them independently — much more precisely than before.
Stray Hairs Is Now Available in the Cloud: The stray hair removal tool has been added to the cloud workflow. It automatically detects and removes stray hairs — portraits become neat without manually retouching each individual hair.
Less manual work, more consistent results — especially when processing large portrait series.

Tutorials, Partner Videos & Press
Press: Profifoto (Germany)
An article about Retouch4me was published on profifoto.de — one of Germany’s leading photography publications. The authors view Retouch4me as a tool that works alongside the photographer, not instead of them: intelligent retouching that respects the original image.
Partner Videos
Two photographers from our partner community showed their process as it really is — honest and practical:
Lee Iveson solves 5 common portrait retouching problems in Photoshop — skin blemishes, wrinkled clothing, flat lighting, and inconsistent series color — in a few clicks without losing texture.
Kyle Kong — on three principles that change the approach to retouching: the physics of light, working with backgrounds, and facial anatomy. No focus on tools — just understanding the fundamentals.
