Dodge & Burn Like a Pro

✅  Make a copy of the unzipped PSD file and add the date of your first practice to the copied file name.

✅  Use your preferred D&B method to even out the patchy surface of the sphere without altering its form.

✅  Make another copy from the original PSD file a week after your first practice, date it, and D&B the sphere again.

Nothing is more empowering than seeing your actual progress! Practice once a week for the next 3-4 weeks, then compare all dated copies to see how much better your latest D&B exercise was.

There are no rules, use any D&B approach – Curves, MidGray layer, or any exotic method you like, as long as you see improvement with each practice.

🛍 If you’re new to retouching, take a look at our ​Beauty Retouching for Beginners​ video course. Use discount code BR30OFF to get $30 off your purchase.

✍️ For retouching practice, check out our ​Free and Premium Practice Beauty Images​. Use the same RAWELCOME discount code at checkout for 20% off the premium files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Beauty Retouch panel for?

This panel is ideal for photographers or retouchers already familiar with key retouching techniques and terminology, even if only superficially.

Our detailed video tutorials will help you operate this panel successfully and save a lot of time in the long run!

In the world of radical automation, don’t get left behind with a slow manual retouching workflow.

Who is the MUA Retouch panel for?

Makeup artists, photographers, retouchers, graphic designers, bloggers and any content creators without an extensive knowledge of Photoshop.

It will help you upgrade your portfolio and social media images, and unleash your creativity while minimizing your post-production time and effort.

And it is simply fun to work with!

Do People Use Both Panels?

Absolutely! When creating the MUA Retouch panel, our goal was to make it an impactful complement to the Beauty Retouch panel.

Each of these retouching panels is independently powerful and contains the key retouching techniques’ scripts. However, you significantly expand your streamlined retouching capabilities by combining them in your workflow.

While the Beauty Retouch panel focuses on the key stages of the retouching workflow, the MUA Retouch panel introduces a range of incredibly useful scripts specifically for makeup retouching in beauty photography.

Check out the direct comparison of the available buttons on each of these panels here.

Do I need Adobe Photoshop to use this panel?

Yes, our panels are Photoshop plugins, compatible with Adobe® Photoshop® CC2021 (v22.0) and later for Win & Mac OS computers.

They will also work on the iPad when Adobe makes plugins available on the mobile version of Photoshop.

If you are new to Photoshop, take our FREE Photoshop Essentials for Beauty Retouching video course.

Is the Installation process difficult?

Not at all. Our UXP panels are Photoshop plugins that also contain custom additional features such as Brush and Tools Presets, and your own custom Actions. The entire installation process takes less than a minute, given you follow our instructions, here’s an example: MUA Quick Installation.

I am new to Photoshop, is that Ok?

We’ve designed this panel for all content creators with limited knowledge of retouching and Photoshop, who nevertheless want to be able to do high-quality, delicate, intuitive, campaign-level retouching on their images to increase the value of their services and attract higher-paying clients.

Free Additional Education

Our FREE (to all RA Panels users) Photoshop Essentials for Beauty Retouching video course will introduce you to Photoshop & retouching essentials, and our video tutorials will teach you to enhance, finish and export edited photos for your website and social media.

Support & Updates

Please refer to our FAQ page for instant answers or contact our Support Team; we are always here to help if you have any issues with our panels.

With an active Maintenance subscription, you will also have access to the updated installation files free of charge, every time Adobe releases new Photoshop versions.

We encourage you to hold off updating Photoshop to the latest version right away if you are using any third-party plugins for your work. If you are eager to update, you can keep the previous version of Photoshop on your computer just in case the plugins you rely on for work stop functioning in the newer PS version.

When a Photoshop update causes errors in plugins, it typically takes a couple of days for our developers to identify the issue, re-code and release the new updated version of the panel.

We announce when our panels are updated via our newsletter, on our social media pages, and in our Facebook group.
