⚒️ The Legacy (Old) RA Panels FAQ & Installation
🔴 Download the RA UXP Panels Quick Start Guide.
Step 1: Download & Unzip Installation File
Download the installation package (ZIP file) from your Member Account > Downloads tab and unzip it in the Downloads folder (Mac OS) or the root folder of the C: Drive (Win).
IMPORTANT! Be sure to unzip the installation file (.CCX) and run it from the same drive where Adobe Photoshop and Creative Cloud App are installed on your computer. Typically, this is the C: drive for Windows PC or the Macintosh HD for Mac. Adobe will only allow the CCX installation file to search for programs in the same directory where the file is currently located.
Step 2: Double-Click the CCX File
Double-click the BR_[version].CCX installation file to open up your Adobe Creative Cloud > Manage Plugins Dashboard.
The first option will notify you that the panel is a non-marketplace plugin. Press Install.
This only means that the Plugin is not from the Adobe Marketplace and your current installation makes the panel accessible on the current computer only, meaning you will need to install it on the other computers separately. Your license allows installing each RA Panel on 2 computers following the same installation steps.
📌 Please contact support if you need to use your RA Panel on more computers.
Attention! Troubleshooting
If you happen to encounter any installation issues, please check Installation Troubleshooting. Please note that the most common installation issue that our users have encountered is with their Creative Cloud app – it may either require an update or simply to be relaunched before you begin installing the new RA UXP Panels.
Step 3: Install RA Panel Plugin
Press Ok to the standard third-party developer notification for all plugins that are not presented on the Adobe Marketplace.
Step 4: Open Adobe Photoshop
Click Open Photoshop. The panel should appear in Photoshop by default, but if you do not see it right away, you will find it under the Plugins menu.
Step 5: Activate Your License
In Adobe Photoshop, enter the email address from your RA Lab account and press Ok to activate your RA Panel Software Product License.
You will find the new UXP panels in Photoshop under the Plugins menu.

Step 6: Activate Panel Custom Brushes & Tool Presets
Once the UXP panel is installed, you will need to activate its custom Brushes, Actions, and Tool Presets. Please follow these instructions precisely to ensure these additional features are activated correctly to work without any issues: Custom Brushes, Actions & Tool Presets Activation instructions.
You will only need to install and activate them once.
Our Tip: Panel Placement
When traveling or working on a laptop with a smaller screen we recommend stacking the panels one behind the other for your convenience, so you can flip through them when needed (pictured on the right).
And on large screens, you can place the MUA Retouch and Beauty Retouch panels one behind the other at the top of the screen, and the Pixel Juggler underneath the two in the lower half of the screen.
Happy Retouching!
