Our courses are created for photographers, retouchers, and anyone interested in mastering professional retouching techniques, starting at any skill level.

Each course description specifies the recommended level of experience with retouching:

♦️ Beginner-Level Courses & Bundles are for those who are new to beauty and portrait retouching. These courses provide a strong foundation in essential retouching techniques.

♦️ Intermediate to Advanced Courses & Bundles are created for photographers and retouchers who want to advance their skills, streamline their workflows, and branch out into commercial work with confidence.

Our in-depth course lessons with practice files and self-paced assignments help students progress quickly and immediately implement the new practical knowledge in their work.

💵 Ultimately, after completing our courses and with sufficient practice, you will develop pro retouching skills that meet commercial client standards (e.g., beauty, wellness, and other companies). These skills will allow you to qualify for senior in-house retouching roles, creative agency opportunities, and remote freelance work for major brands from anywhere in the world.

For our Beginner-Level Courses & Bundles, prior retouching experience is not required, but familiarity with Photoshop is helpful. These courses include introductions to essential Photoshop tools and key retouching techniques, making it easier for beginners to follow along.

♦️ If you are completely new to Photoshop, we recommend starting with our Photoshop Essentials for Beauty Retouching course to build a solid foundation before diving into retouching.

Our Intermediate to Advanced Courses & Bundles assume you already have some experience with retouching techniques or are a practicing retoucher. While they do touch on the fundamentals, they focus more on advanced methods and do not cover the basics in depth.

The Beauty Retouch panel is created for photographers or retouchers who already have some familiarity with essential retouching techniques and terminology.

💥 New Beauty Retouch Version 5 is here!

This new version simplifies and accelerates every stage of your retouching workflow, from skin retouching to finishing touches and exporting your final images.

While it’s especially powerful for beauty and portrait retouching, the new AI Tool and the New Skin script are useful for any photography genre involving people.

You can also link 6 (six) of your own custom actions and run them right from the panel’s interface.

🎓 Our detailed video tutorials will guide you in making the most out of these panels.

📌 Compare it with the MUA Retouch panel here.

While the Beauty Retouch panel focuses on the key stages of the general retouching workflow, the MUA Retouch panel adds a range of super useful scripts specifically for makeup and beauty retouching.

Each panel can be used independently, as they both contain essential retouching tools and scripts. However, by adding the MUA Retouch panel to your Beauty Retouch, you will significantly streamline your beauty retouching workflow.

The MUA Retouch panel’s scripts mimic the effects of real makeup and beauty products, making them intuitive and easy to use for all beauty enthusiasts.
