We closed out 2025 with a series of important updates to Retouch4me flagship products. These releases were focused on real challenges faced by professional retouchers: faster workflows, greater control, and more convenient everyday use.
Alongside product development, Retouch4me gained visibility in international media and continued collaborating with global photography competitions to support photographers worldwide. Below is a summary of the key highlights from December.
Photoshop Panel v.1.50
The Photoshop Panel update significantly improves performance.
In Merged Output mode, the panel no longer creates additional layers. All edits are applied to a single layer, reducing the load on Photoshop and noticeably speeding up processing. This makes the panel more efficient for high-volume professional work.
Apex v.1.206
This release introduced several highly requested features.
Layered export to Photoshop
Apex can now export results to Photoshop as a structured set of layers and masks. The original image remains untouched, while edits are applied on separate layers. This ensures full control, transparent AI processing, and easy rollback to the source image.
Important: this feature is available only when working with Photoshop.
Automatic double chin correction in Lifting
Lifting now automatically corrects double chins quickly and naturally, without manual masks or complex tools, while preserving facial character.
Unified login via the Retouch4me website
A single account now provides access to all tools. Website-based authorization synchronizes licenses, retouch history, and retouch balance automatically.
Arams v.1.7.0
Arams received a major interface and usability update.
The color correction panel is now a standalone tool instead of being hidden in the plugin menu, allowing faster access and future expansion.
The updated plugin panel offers a clearer, more structured interface.
Flexible photo cards can be switched using the I hotkey, helping evaluate photo series efficiently.
A collapsible filtering header allows sorting by ratings, tags, and flags while keeping the interface clean.
Retouch4me Face Make v.1.207
This update focuses on professional, high-volume retouching needs:
- Automatic double chin correction
- Improved face recognition, including profiles and complex angles
- One-click festive makeup presets
Face Make helps save time on large photo sets while preserving natural results and user control.
Retouch4me White Teeth v.1.207
The White Teeth plugin was updated to improve stability and overall usability, making it more reliable in daily workflows.
Retouch4me in the Media
In December, Retouch4me tools were featured by international media:
- Included in Oreate AI’s list of the Best Photoshop Plugins of 2025
- Arams updates reviewed by Digit! (Germany), Photo Review (Australia), and ProVideo Coalition (USA)
Partnerships with Photography Competitions
Retouch4me continued supporting the photography community through partnerships:
- The Artist Gallery Awards Open Theme competition (entries until January 16)
- Boudoir Photography Awards 2025 (submissions close January 24)
Winners of these competitions receive access to Retouch4me tools.
We thank you for being with us. In the new year, even more updates and professional retouching solutions are coming.
