The "Retouching Toolkit" Has Some Impressive Features For Retouchers

The "Retouching Toolkit" Has Some Impressive Features For Retouchers

I'm all for making things easier and expediting the retouching workflow.

The Retouching Toolkit is a Photoshop panel made by Conny Walstrom that I've had for a couple of years already.

We've all seen tons of panels floating around and for the most part, they're getting redundant. However, there are a couple of tools in this specific panel that I think is worth a closer look. Because of which, I made this video! 

I do not use this on a regular basis but the color correction tools, smart liquify, and a couple of process recipes make me keep this under Photoshop's hood in close reach!

I did a quick overview video so you can check it out and see some of the magic behind it. I think you'll appreciate it!

One thing I forgot to mention is that the "Merge current and below" feature is also something that is useful. If you have other layers on top of the current position you are on your layer stack, it won't put that into the merge either so you don't have to turn them off to do a merge visible. This step alone is so annoying as I normally have to turn off all my layers on top just to run it. 

No need to ramble on, check out the video and jump right in. 

I asked Raw Exchange to give me a discount code for people who want to try it out too. Hey, why not save some cash while you're at it right? It's "RXC_RETOUCHIST" for 15% off till January 2nd, and you can check it out on https://raw.exchange/product/retouching-toolkit/
