Using AI In Your Retouching Workflow

[@jshetley2]

Thanks for the video! Is there a reason you are not using the retouching panel that they provide with the plugins?

[@hbhavsi]

How can we do the batch processing on RAW files? I saw that the input type into the standalone application was only Image type, so I am assuming RAW formats aren't supported?

[@jeffnewman8261]

Do these tools plug into Lightroom too or just Photoshop?

[@jerrym8140]

I have a few of the plugins for Retouch for me also. Nice time saver for sure. Thanks for sharing some cool tips including batch processing. Those wondering about how to help make these more affordable, I’m using these in my advanced retouching and applying a added fee for doing this work. Which is no different than if I was retouching these by hand or sending them off, I would charge a fee. So this would be additional stuff I would want to do outside of the Visual Flow tool kit etc in Lightroom.

Thanks for the detailed video. Do these work as a plug-in for Lightroom classic ?

[@aussie2uGA]

I love Retouch4me but would like to make the processing even faster. Anyone know what the main thing to focus on would be? CPU speed, GPU, more memory? Thanks!

Thank you for the review!

[@EricDejuanOOO]

Very expensive workflow. Either way, Background Cleanup and ColorMatch has me interested.

I bet most have lenses that never get used that don't add a third as much revenue to a business

The software creator is a Russian guy Oleg Sharonov from Moscow. Also, he released very advanced software 3D Lut Creator. I understand he had to move his business to Estonia because of sanctions towards Russia etc. I like his plugins. But price needs to come down a bit 😭

🤩🤩🤩 Thank you!

it's not exactly photography, it's design

[@vazgenelenavarzhabetian2016]

There is no free updates. I use their tools every day.

[@retouch4me]

Thank you for using our tools, but ALL our updates are free!

hi sir

[@000CloudStrife]

You can still tell the retouching ai is bad. (Regarding skin) It’ll need more improvements.

[@Amazombe]

Still, saves a lot of time. I had to retouch 34 full body portrait on dirty background and wrinkly clothes. I made an action that includes some of these filters and left it for a night. Man, it saved me around 85% of time. So even though it's "bad", it already allows to make same amount of money in much shorter time.

[@000CloudStrife]

@@Amazombe so you like giving out bad work. That’s on you. I’m saying these aren’t ready for commercial use. Like fs or skin smoothing it is basically lying to yourself and your customers. Plus I wasn’t talking about backgrounds or clothes I was talking about the skin function.

[@FooManPu2]

yeah no, I'm not using A.I. At All I won't relegate part of my craft to a machine. Anyone who supports the use of A.I. in any artform isn't an artist. Hard Stop. Lost a subscriber here, because you embraced the machine.

[@vitalyglebochkin]

The same thing people said about steam machines, then electricity, then computers. Where are they now?

[@reneweisz9157]

kind of a silly comparison. The tools in photoshop from 10 years ago are plenty to fix whatever need to be fixed. People are even to lazy to learn different ways to use Dodge and Burn, they don't know that most of retouching can be done just by using curves. People call themselves photographers when all they want is a one click wonder to help them with their questionable photos, I love it. You want better skin? look for better makeup, you want better light? learn about light (natural light, strobe, motifiesrs, etc), you want better color? learn about color theory/temps. Learn how to take better photos in camera! With actual knowledge, AI becomes unnecessary. Unless you are in the wedding photography business were you have to process thousands of photos. Next question is going to be, how can I find my style? LOL

[@FooManPu2]

Call it what you want, I'm not using it. Don't care what people say, or how 'revolutionary' it will be. Once you start letting a machine do any amount of input on your art, it becomes a clinical calculation with essence of soul or merit, and that's a bona fide fact@@vitalyglebochkin

[@FooManPu2]

I quite agree with this. All things A.I. have a clinical, sterile feeling, because A.I. is trained as a 'Min/Max' type of response to something. The beauty of art is not perfection, but rather the flaws in the pursuit of that perfection. Machines are programmed to reduce flaws and achieve optimal output, and that in itself makes whatever an A.I. generates ( I will not use the term create when it comes to A.I.) a meritless simulacrum of human artistic integrity and effort.@@reneweisz9157
