I've been used the Heal, D&B, and Portrait Volumes for a year now - saves a huge amount of time plus its realistic and not over done (if you have the settings right). Tip: I leave D&B at 50% warmth and Blend between 50-150 depending on how much is needed/goal (and fine tune again with opacity). I find Portrait Volumes can get heavy (overdone); I usually set that at 25-50 again fine tuning with opacity.
Amazing software. However, to make it work properly and make the work flow go quickly. You do need almost all the modules. The price is insane!! £124-149 dollars per module almost $1500 for the full package, is it just me or does anyone else think it’s excessive?
Something I quickly realized is I needed the Skin Mask module that runs after all other modules to mask out any changes intended for fabrics or backdrops, as well as limiting all skin modifications to skin only. The Skin Mask is a very necessary component to dial it in without having to go back and manually clean up. It's a bit uncanny how well this all works, but I'm processing hundreds of photos for presentation / reveals where they're all spot on edited. crazy times...
I own heal, D+B, background clean. Yes they are expensive but if you have a lot of images to retouch for a client it does save a lot of time and pay for itself. I do still have to do some manual retouching, I often still do some freq separation and then do some contouring / D+B manually. There’s really nothing else out there like these plugins. Most of the retouching skin filters just soften the skin and make a plastic texture. If you are looking to do things properly, have great control with layers, but save tons of time these plugins are worth trying in your workflow.
Hey man love your work. Question what would you prefer evato or retouch ? Which would be the best work flow tool for weddings, Family portraits head shots etc?
Yeah, I don't know... Your enthusiam, IMHO, exceeds the results you shared. These filters seem to get you about 70% there. I'll wait and see what the next verson does.
I have been looking at getting this to help with work flow, but wondered does it work well for full body images, or is this more geared towards portraits and head shots. A lot of work I am doing just now is swim wear, so as you would imagine a lot of visible skin to work on .
Asking for a friend.. Can I put a camera on a tripod and set it to eye detect, then use relighting , clean backdrop, dodge/burn, contouring and then apply my favourite colour grade...essentially all I want to do is only press the shutter button? Would it be possible and would I get a passable result?
@@NathanElson I will suggest it to them. Its impressive how quickly the technology is moving. I believe the achilles heel is what I refer to as discernment. Automated process can achieve the task with a usable level of output, but its the user discernment that judges how well and suitable the process has happened. I believe the friend is question knows what accurate white balance is on an algorymthic level, but assigning a white balance inline with the desired output is a matter of discernment. From my perspective I can see growth in the portrait market that is all very algorithmically correct, but lacking discernment. Kinda like how HDR bracketing lead to an increase in real estate photography. Whether it is good interior photography is a matter of discernment., that said, the exposure is well balanced.
That hair stuck in the wheel would drive me crazy - LOL. Housekeeping 101 - get that stuff cleaned up if you're gonna shoot pro and put yer tile out there . . . lesson-learned . . . LOL
Retouch4me is without a doubt a very useful tool for quick and high quality retouch but its developer is from Russia. I must be highly aware of such things if I don't want to sponsor the war against my country by purchasing this product. Currently I'm examining Evoto AI.
While I can understand your reasoning, I don't just assume that people agree with their governments decisions, and I'm not going to base my opinions on any particular software developer simply on the fact that they had the misfortune of being born in a country that has a dictator for a leader.
@@NathanElson the point is not that he was born in Russia, not so long ago he lived and worked in Moscow, so the point is where does he pay his taxes now?

Solid
Same here. I've found skin tones to be most useful to me...working with Sony colors and all. Fabric comes in handy too.
How long do they takr to be apply?
@@CLOSERBDZ For some images, it takes seconds. For others it could take a minute or two. I don’t know why though.

Yes it is but UA-camrs do not pay for it.

I actually like that it takes a moment to render. I never use my neo. This is crazy w the shaping

Love your passion when u say "Welcome back to the channel!"
It's all about passion in the little things ;)
Its my choice for batch editing. Best tools I have ever seen.
Ya, super impressed with them for sure.
These plugins are mind-blowing (especially the last one) Thank you so much for the tip.
You're very welcome!
I use the heal and Imagenomic in an action and just batch process all my proofs. Clients love it.

Great demo for software that I was clueless about. Thanks for sharing!
Does this app also can fix winkles on clothing?
When I use the retouch4me plugin in Photoshop, the program crashes؟؟
Is there a Capture One version??

Tell your friend to try it.

There is no doubt that the software is amazing. He just seems extremely expensive.
Any thoughts? Is value for money?

Hiw about the eyes. I have a challenge w the white of the eye?
Yes you can whiten the eyes as well
This crashes my Photoshop every time I try to run it. Anyone else having this issue?
I've never had it crash. Does your PS need to be updated?
It crushes mine too
@@NathanElsonlike frequently
Probably using a hacked version that's why
Well... These filters seem to get you about 50% there. I wouldn´t use it yet.
Great video anyway.

I tested Evoto AI and for me is better than Retouch4me. Maybe more expensive but faster and will have better updates :)
Each one is $99
Thx man!
Thx bro!
