Add AI portrait retouching to a Lightroom or Capture One workflow

People who grade colour and exposure in Lightroom or Capture One usually get stuck at portrait retouching, because skin work normally means jumping into Photoshop. Retouch4me says plugins such as Heal and Dodge&Burn run as standalone apps or as plugins for Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom and Capture One.

The official site lists Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One, Affinity Photo and, for video, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro. That means you can slot a retouching step into the editor you already use instead of replacing it.

When the selects are already chosen, the flow is short. Set exposure and colour in Lightroom, send only the portrait frames to the plugin for blemishes and light, then come back to the catalogue and deliver. Retouch4me notes that the programme suits Photoshop users best, along with Lightroom users who move to Photoshop partway through.

Demo versions let you confirm it in your own setup first. For installation the guidance is to uninstall the demos and close host programmes such as Photoshop and Lightroom. The full plugins are 20% off right now.
