// FAQ

Common questions, we hear the most.

01Who is the MUA Retouch panel for?

The MUA Retouch panel is for creative professionals who work with beauty portraits, fashion, editorial, or commercial beauty images where makeup often takes the central stage. Its functionality is based on the effects of real makeup and color correctors, so it is intuitively easy to understand how it works for creatives in those fields. A lot of makeup artists who photograph and retouch their own work use this panel; you can see what they say about it in the testimonials above.

02Do I need Adobe Photoshop?

Yes. Our retouching panels are Photoshop plugins, run in Adobe® Photoshop® 2021 (v22.0) or later, on macOS and Windows, including Apple silicon. The AI-augmented features on the Beauty Retouch v5.0 panel require Photoshop® 2024 (v25.3) or later.

03Do people use both panels?

Absolutely. We created the MUA Retouch panel as a makeup companion for the Beauty Retouch panel, which carries the core of the beauty, fashion and portrait workflow. Each panel can be used independently, and together they cover everything for professionals who work in beauty. We offer $50+ off the MUA Retouch panel when you buy both. Compare the panels.

04How many computers can I use it on?

Install and use the panel on 2 computers, Mac or Windows. Need to move it? Reset Your License Activations from your Member Account, no support ticket required.

05Why do I need an active subscription?

The RA Panels are subscription-based: your first year of Maintenance & Support subscription is included in your purchase. It keeps our Support and Development teams always ready to help our users for only $39.99 a year, roughly $0.10 a day.

06Is there a free trial?

No. Instead, every purchase is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not for you, reach out within 30 days and we'll make it right.

07What happens after I buy?

You'll get two emails: one to create your account and set a password, and your order confirmation with the download link and invoice. Full detail here: Right after your RA Panel purchase. Still stuck? Submit a Support Ticket — we're in Los Angeles, CA and Dallas, TX.
