Understand. It’s quite a substantial investment. When you look at all, its like buying equipment, if you earn off your work then this investment will pay for itself quite quickly.
@@btonelli It depends. Therefore you have to use it very frequently. I know that other programms like PortraitPro don't do it in the same quality, but they're doing it in a way that works for most clients for business portraits etc.. And they offer some extra gadgets that are so worth the price. There you pay 175€ or cheaper for the whole package. It might sound hard, but for this filters alltogether 299$ but not more. Blemishes etc are something I better retouch myself, as clients can be really harsh when you go to far or wrong with that and RetouchMe isn't very good at it. I just compared both of the companies again and to be honest, I'm not very convinced about the results. For me they're still to plasticy. The matt filter generates weired structures on noses etc. Like I said, I tried some images, that I retouch now for a client but no, it doesn't speed me up as most of the things the RetouchMe does, it does it in a medicore way, where my eyes know directly what has to be done and how it looks more natural. Something like wrinkles aroud eyes etc. with the new retouch tools from Photshop you get so fast and nice results, where the dodge and burn Filter doesn't get close. You can do a fast retouch around eyes in under a minute, when you do this more frequently. This might be something for people how are completey into beauty etc, but for the normal stuff, it isn't that overwhelming.
I haven’t used PortraitPro to compare but did see their plug-ins and some do looks useful. As I mentioned in the video, the retouch4me plugins if not used correctly can produce a “very edited” looking image, but after testing them the past couple weeks on a large number of images, I found the results when used correctly to be very pleasing. I did not try the mattifying plugin so can’t comment on that, but felt dodge and burn did enough to reduce that for me. The heal tool does produce very natural results and you can amend the healing if it’s too much so for picky clients they can have the best of both worlds. It sounds like your towards a professional retoucher and some of your skills probably equate to quick results with photoshop vs others. I can say that for me, who is learning this skill over a period of time found these tools to really reduce the time I spend on an image. That means I can edit more and faster so it’s a win for me. Again we all have our different criteria’s but that’s where I’m at with these plugins currently
This is wicked sick, B!
Thanks!! Yeah these plug-ins are legit
Unfortunately this software is from Russia which I Geo block on my network so I can't check it out or use it of it needs connectivity to Russia.
I see. I’m in Singapore and don’t face any of those issues. You can always try a VPN
I tryed these, but the price structure isn’t appealing. Over 1000$ for the package.
