]]>

Since 2022, Adobe has been retiring the legacy CEP framework used by non-UXP Photoshop extensions. With the most recent security updates, CEP extensions can no longer be installed or used, even inside older Photoshop environments on both Windows and macOS. Because this change was made at the platform level by Adobe, it is unfortunately not technically possible for us to maintain, reinstall, or update the old panels.

To ensure continuity for professionals who rely on our scripts, we spent over a year rebuilding all RA Panels from the ground up in Adobe’s UXP format – the only plugin framework supported in current Photoshop versions. The UXP versions preserve the familiar workflows from our legacy panels and minimize any need to re-learn processes.

With that said, your options are:

► Keep your legacy purchase (we won’t remove it from your account) and use it only on older Photoshop versions that still allowed CEP extensions (functionality not guaranteed and no longer supported by Adobe).

► Upgrade to the new UXP version for ongoing compatibility, updates, and support.

🔐 To log into your Member Account, please use the email address that this message was sent to. If you cannot log in, please follow these instructions.

To honor the original investment of our long-time panel users, we offer a significant legacy-user discount. You can subscribe at a discounted upgrade fee of $29 (see available billing options on the upgrade page linked below).

We also honor the original annual Maintenance & Support fee at $29/year that was set when the UXP panels just came out, while it is now $39.99/year for all new users. You can lock that in your account when you upgrade today.

Upgrade to Beauty Retouch v5 (UXP) »

📌 Over 90% of our old panels’ users have already upgraded to the UXP versions to continue saving their precious time while retouching.

Please review some Frequently Asked Questions at the bottom of this page.

Our New UXP Panels

Today, the new Beauty Retouch v5 is equipped with even newer tools and scripts:

● Includes all legacy panel scripts and workflows.

● Read about the only script that has been removed from the old panel here and more: Frequency Separation: Gaussian Blur vs Median.

● Adds new AI-powered tools for even more efficient professional-level retouching

● Installs via Creative Cloud and appears under the Plugins menu in Photoshop

● Fully compatible with current Photoshop on both Windows and macOS, including M-series Apple computers.

● One of the many upsides of the UXP Panels is that one Software License allows you to install and use your RA Panel on both Windows and Mac OS computers.

🔴 You will find all the instructions here: Upgrade Your Legacy Panel to the latest UXP version (including the option to upgrade to the UXP panel as a one-time payment, no annual fees going forward).

Now, we are working on the MUA Retouch panel upgrade.

Below are some video tutorials demonstrating the new functionality of the Beauty Retouch UXP v5.

New AI-Powered Tools for Beauty Retouching

The creative industry has been dramatically changing with the introduction of new AI tools.

One of the biggest shifts in today’s professional photography and retouching is the growing client demand for faster, more affordable high-quality results.

Clients now often choose to hire creative professionals who leverage automation and smart retouching tools so they can offer high-quality work at lower rates.

Here’s a video tutorial on how the new Beauty Retouch v5 panel’s AI Tool button works:

AI-Powered Tools for Hair Retouching

In this new Hair Retouching course lesson, we share how these new AI-powered and latest selection tools in Photoshop can help get hair retouching work done faster in beauty and portraits: AI-Powered Tools for Hair Retouching

Can You Retouch Skin in Just a Couple of Minutes?

One of the most exciting additions to the new Beauty Retouch v5 Panel is the New Skin script.

In just a couple of minutes, it will help you even out skin tone, remove blemishes, and blend in a realistic skin texture layer, all while allowing you to keep full control over the final look.

This script is designed specifically for close-up beauty and portraits, where we always want to preserve as much visible skin texture as we can while combating the blotchiness and imperfections.
Here is a quick video of what it can do for you: Retouch Skin in a Couple of Minutes? On that page, scroll down past the video to see all the new buttons and functions of the new Beauty Retouch v5.

Frequently Asked Questions

I purchased a lifetime license for Beauty Retouch panel. Why do I have to pay for it again?

Your original purchase was indeed a lifetime license for the old RA Panel (Photoshop CEP legacy extension). The new UXP panel is not the same product, it was designed to copy the functionality of the old product to minimize the need for our existing users to re-learn anything.

When upgrading your old panel to this new UXP plugin, you are reimbursed for what you had already paid by using the significant legacy-user discount that is listed on the upgrade page.

So, no, you are not asked to pay for the same product again, but you do have an option to upgrade if you find the new panel’s scripts beneficial and want to continue using them for your retouching work even though Adobe discontinued the old panels (Photoshop Legacy Extensions).

Why do I have to pay for a subscription?

When we found out that Adobe was going to eventually discontinue legacy extensions in Photoshop, our small team invested a whole year of our time, energy, and funding to create a new product for thousands of our users who loved and trusted the retouching scripts on our old panels and wanted to continue using them in their work.

We wanted to give our users a choice: to continue using our scripts on the new panels (even though in a completely new format) in the newer versions of Photoshop, OR to stay in the older versions of Photoshop with the Legacy Extensions that they had purchased as a “one-time payment” before, if they do not wish to upgrade. Unfortunately, the Legacy Extensions got abandoned by Adobe anyway.

It was a very long, difficult, and costly project, which made us realize that, as a small business, to continue supporting 18K+ (at the time) of our existing users, we must change to a subscription model for the new UXP panels, or go out of business and leave all of our users with nothing at all.

Yes, we are as saddened as you that it is simply unrealistic for a small business in today’s economic landscape to provide perpetual maintenance and support for software through a one-time purchase.

Maintaining, updating, and upgrading our panels while providing support requires a significant monthly investment. A subscription model allows us to continue offering high-quality service, everyday technical support, and periodical updates and enhancements for our amazing retouching panels that professionals around the world love, trust, and use every day.

We are confident that you understand this basic logic!

How do I log in to my RA Lab Member Account?

Please log in to your Member Account here with the same email address you used at the time of purchase.

If you cannot log in, please follow these instructions.

Then, proceed to Upgrade Your Legacy Panel to the latest UXP version.

We hope this helps, and you will be delighted to start using the latest Beauty Retouch UXP panel!

If you have any further questions, please reach out to our friendly RA Panels Support Team!

If you, however, decide that it is imperative for you to update Photoshop to a newly-released version immediately, be sure to check Import Previous Settings and Preferences and uncheck Remove Old Versions (see the screenshot below) when updating.

Safe Update Settings

If you, however, decide that it is imperative for you to update Photoshop to a newly-released version immediately, be sure to check Import Previous Settings and Preferences and uncheck Remove Old Versions (see the screenshot below) when updating.

You can remove the older version after you confirm that everything is working as intended in the new version.

Updating any software takes time and we don’t want you to wait for the panels’  updates without the ability to use them in the meantime.

Updated Installation Files

Once our developers deliver the updated panels’ installation files, they appear in your Member Account and we announce the update on our social media, in the Retouching Academy Facebook group, on our Status Page, and on the blog.

Typically, it takes only a few days to update all of our panels, depending on the complexity of the update. Once the updated panels are available, you can update Photoshop with the safe-update settings shown in the screenshot above.

If the panels don’t automatically migrate into the new version of Photoshop, you can download the new panels from your Member Account and re-install them in Photoshop following these installation instructions.

Rolling Back to the Previous Photoshop Version

If you have updated Photoshop to a newly-released version only to realize that the RA panels are not compatible with the newest Photoshop version, and we have not yet updated the panels’ installation files, you can “roll back” to the previous Photoshop version and continue using our panels until the updated installation files are available.

Here is where you can find the older versions to roll back to:

Updating Your Panels

If the RA panels did not transfer over to the newest version of Photoshop, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Remove the traces of the older panels on your computer by following these uninstall instructions (for old panels) or the UXP uninstall instructions (for new UXP panels);

Step 2: Re-download the panel installation files from your Member Account;

Step 3: Install the panels following the relevant installation instructions.

And you’re good to go!

Updates & Announcements

We are delighted to announce the official release of our new RA Panels, now available in Adobe’s Universal Extensibility Platform (UXP) format!

After nearly a year of development and a full month of field testing with hundreds of our valued customers, we’re confident that these UXP panels will transform your retouching workflow. They’re designed for seamless installation/uninstallation, helping you get more retouching work done faster—empowering your freelance business to thrive!

Creating these UXP panels was a journey that demanded significant time and resources. For a closer look at the complexities involved, be sure to watch this video: Adobe UXP: Things you need to know.

Adobe’s decision to phase out certain legacy Photoshop features, including Extensions (which is what our legacy RA Panels were), forced us to develop an alternative solution for our RA Panels users. We have re-engineered our panels into the new UXP format, ensuring compatibility with future Photoshop updates.

We’ve completely re-coded each script from our old RA panels (CEP format, Legacy Extensions) and implemented a robust security system to protect against piracy. To show our confidence in these new panels, we’re excited to offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, ensuring your satisfaction!

We’ve also introduced new User Interface (UI) options for each UXP panel, so you can choose the look of your Beauty Retouch and MUA Retouch panels during the upgrade or purchase process to keep your workspace fresh and inspiring 😊

We have diligently addressed all the issues that arose during the beta testing phase, and we sincerely thank our existing users and beta testers for their valuable feedback.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us! Your support and feedback have been instrumental in making the new UXP RA Panels a reality 💖

What You Need to Know Before Upgrading

Key Points

✅ The UXP panels are сompatible with Adobe Photoshop® CC2021 (v22.0) and later for both Win and Mac OS, including the M-series chip Apple computers. No more worries about compatibility issues between your Win and Mac OS computers – you can use your UXP panels on both operating systems.

✅ The new security system implemented on our website allows us to offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Don’t like your new UXP panel? Just shoot our Support Team a message, and we will deactivate your account and refund your payment.

✅ You do not have to upgrade unless you want to at this time. However, Adobe is pretty clear on their intention to discontinue Legacy Extensions completely (update Oct’24: Adobe has now fully discontinued Legacy Extensions on newer Photoshop versions on both Mac and Win computers).

✅ You will need to upgrade if you have just purchased an M-chip Apple computer and want to work in the latest version of Photoshop.

✅  If you are on an M-chip Apple computer but don’t want to upgrade, you can continue using the Legacy Panels with a Photoshop version earlier than v22.3, or by using Rosetta. Please keep in mind, though, the previously mentioned Adobe intentions regarding Legacy Extensions.

✅ The new UXP panels retain the same reliable scripts and steps as our legacy panels, delivering consistent performance. This upgrade represents a significant investment in the future for both us and our users, as the UXP format is expected to eventually support compatibility with Photoshop on iPads once Adobe makes this available.

Other Important Points

✅ The UXP panels are Creative Cloud-based and will show up in the Plugins menu in Photoshop and not under the Legacy Extensions menu like the old panels.

✅ One UXP panel Software license will allow you to install your panel on both Mac and/or Windows computers since .CCX installation files are compatible with both operating systems.

✔︎ The new UXP panels are subscription-based, as the work that we must invest into the regular updates, upgrades, maintenance, and support is very cost-heavy, and makes it impossible for us to continue providing maintenance and support without a subscription-based model.

As stated in our Software Product License, your initial purchase or upgrade fee (for existing users) also covers the first cycle (year or month, depending on the payment option you chose at the time of the purchase or upgrade) of your Maintenance and Support subscription that is required to be able to have access to your Member Account and activate and use the panel in Photoshop.

For example, if you choose an annual subscription, after the first year, it is only $29 per year  $39.99 per year (updated 07/27/2023), which will allow us to continue funding all of the updates, upgrades, and support in a timely manner as well as offer additional benefits, bonus materials, and exclusive discounts to our subscribed customers.

Upgrade for Existing Customers

If you are an RA Panel user and would like to upgrade your legacy RA Panel to the new UXP format, please log in to your Member Account and press the Upgrade button under the dashboard that contains your purchases.

Important! Please be sure to follow the installation instructions precisely, the new installation process is completely different for the new UXP panels!

We are currently working on adding the activation reset buttons right into your user account, so you will be able to reset your activation without our help in the near future.

And you will need to reset your activation every time you buy a new computer and want to install your UXP panels in place of an old one, or when you purchase new UI (skins) for your UXP panel, which we will also make available in the upcoming months! 😊

For those that may be on the fence about purchasing the RA Panels, we bring you a recent testimonial by photographer and retoucher, Tatan Zuleta. Tatan shares his opinion on the panels and how they have become an integral part of his workflow. His video also contains a demonstration and brief walkthrough of the components of the Beauty Retouch Panel.

As mentioned in the video, the RA Panels are not a filter-like plugin similar to Portraiture or Portrait Professional, but an action-based panel that makes the real-world retouching tools that we use daily much faster to generate.

This gives the retoucher full control over their retouching process to customize, fine-tune, and maintain as much detail to their work as they desire. Because the RA Panels are not a one-click-fix-all-program, practicing your retouching techniques will be essential.

To get the most out of the RA Panels, we highly recommended watching our video tutorials, as well as reading through the detailed User Manual that comes with your purchase.

Tatan Zuleta is a photographer and retoucher from Colombia, based in Miami. To view more of his video tutorials, visit his YouTube Channel, or view his work at his website.
